Ewa2019 Stories

As nights grow longer and the moon shines colder, a writer's words flow a bit more freely. The scent of candles and twinkling of lights mix with cups of hot cocoa, all wrapped up in fleece blankets to create a beautiful composition devoted to the season. This is a collection of short stories composed during the Winter months of 2019. While it may not take long to read, sometimes the smallest moments are the sweetest. "Winter's Nocturne" is a collection of short fiction that encompasses every genre and creates memorable characters that linger long after the story is read. This was created as an anthology of short stories for The Great Wattpad Write-Off, a prompt-based competition where 40 talented writers were challenged to compose touching and well-written short fiction that covers all genres. Done in Survivor-style elimination rounds, the goal was to create something strong enough to survive from week to week. "Winter's Nocturne" was the winner of this competition, taking first place in 6 out of 12 rounds--and finally claiming the title of MasterAuthor. Hosted by @thereadingcafe_ and with a beautiful cover by the incomparable @DeannaHellerErskin, this is a feeble attempt at inspiration and versatility. Please enjoy!

Even when his advice is to fabricate a romance with the male tribute from District 4. It'll attract sponsors, he says. It will help keep you alive, he says.

Because once the Capitol has you in their grip, they never let you go. You never leave the Arena. The Games never end.

Well, you may be right if you don't mind the chaos a Pokemon can bring to your community. That's why a Half-Breed is assigned to do all the dirty jobs in subduing those beings. Not to mention some nosy souls who insist on tagging along with her. Of course, there are more than one Pokemon in the Region of Rhondes. It all happens with a plane crash.

After having a tantrum in court that lands him in contempt, Chad Barrington is forced to seek counseling and take two months off.
