18 year old Darwin McVeay lives all by herself in a swamp lost in some anonymous southern small town, a place where people are unfriendly and the air smells like warmth and eggs. One summer evening, she notices something odd: a long, dark figure that quickly disappears trough the mossy trees. It could be anything. There are stray dogs in the woods, a man and his truck, children's bedtime scary stories. And there's Darwin's troubled past, something that's buried deep down in her soul and which remains unsolved. For the longest time, Darwin thought she was alone. She's not so sure anymore.

Iris has never been the type to do anything spontaneous. Ever. And yet she spontaneously went for coffee with Ben after a coincidence brought him back in her life...and spontaneously agreed to Ben's invitation to join him and his family for Thanksgiving dinner in the sleepy college town of Rosewood, Georgia. Why? Because there was one thing Ben didn't know: that he was her college crush from 5 years ago, and his reemergence in her life just caused those long-buried feelings to rise again. Is it still possible for Iris to look back on her past for a chance at a better future with Ben? Or has she been the only one cherishing those memories, and this is all wishful thinking toward someone who only sees her as an old friend? ❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁•❁ Started: 12.08.2024 Finished: 12.26.2024 NOTE: If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

In the mist-clad mountains of Appalachia, secrets lie hidden beneath ancient trees and buried beneath decades of silence. When Hunter, a disillusioned veteran, returns to his family's secluded home, he finds himself drawn into the shadowed legacy his ancestors left behind-a legacy that whispers from the past, calling him to confront a curse that has haunted his bloodline for generations. The townsfolk speak in hushed tones, casting wary glances his way, and warning him of dangers he can't yet understand. But it's in the old, weathered journal tucked away in the attic that Hunter begins to uncover the truth, a story of betrayal, sacrifice, and an unbreakable bond between his family and the land itself. As Hunter plunges deeper into his family's past, he unearths secrets that intertwine with his own fate. The dark forces lurking in the shadows grow bolder, threatening the lives of those he holds dear. Can Hunter break the cycle, or will he too fall prey to the darkness that has claimed so many before him? A haunting tale of family, faith, and resilience, Something About Appalachia is a journey into the heart of Appalachia and the mysteries that linger there. Perfect for readers who crave suspense, emotional depth, and the rugged beauty of a world steeped in secrets.
