Bucketlists Stories

What if the worst day of your life happened in a dream... and you woke up with seventeen years left to change everything? Ethan is thirty when he has a nightmare he can't shake. In the dream, he's older, sitting in a hospital beside his grandmother, watching the woman who raised him take her final breath at eighty-seven. Then he wakes up. She's still seventy. She's still alive. And suddenly, seventeen years doesn't feel like nearly enough time. When Ethan asks his grandmother what she's always wanted to do, she gives him a list of dreams she's spent a lifetime putting off: see the flowers in Bloemfontein, stand on Table Mountain, drive a Kia Sorento, visit New York and watch Moulin Rouge! on Broadway, and, most of all, see the mountains of Switzerland. Ethan decides he's going to make them happen. What begins as a simple list becomes years of saving, travelling, unexpected friendships, viral videos, strangers who want to help, and memories neither of them expected to make. But somewhere along the way, Ethan becomes so obsessed with making sure they have enough time that he forgets to actually live the time they have. Because the truth is, seventeen years was never a promise. Neither is tomorrow. 87 is a heartfelt story about family, dreams, aging, and the moments we keep postponing because we assume there will always be another day. Sometimes, you don't need a warning about how someone will die. Sometimes, you just need a reason to start living.

For twelve years, Senna has hated the boy who left without saying goodbye. When a faded envelope arrives on her doorstep containing the childhood "Someday List" she made with her best friend, Ash, she's furious.

Determined to find the answers she was never given, Senna is pulled back into a past she'd spent years trying to forget. But some promises refuse to stay buried, and some goodbyes are far more complicated than they first appear.

My bucket list for people to relate to

a dream of the lights in the sky

Layla has only one wish for her debut... she wished to die.

[Novella Version] November Adams has exactly one best friend. And Jessie Reynolds-Somber has always been there, and vice versa. When November, newly seventeen, takes a bus ride to the library, she inexplicably gets off at the hospital instead. For good reason, it turns out: Jessie's in the emergency room, and nobody's saying why. An unsent email may have the answer. On it is a bucket list: eight items, a letter, and a promise, from Jessie, that she'll explain everything when the list is complete. But the further through the list November gets, the more she learns what's going on, and the less she wants to know the whole truth. November Adams has exactly one best friend. And Jessie Reynolds-Somber has always been there. Except this time. [FORMERLY AN ENTRY FOR THE 2024 ONC]
