    🌼 Wattpad Featured Story 🌼 Highest rank: #423 in Short Story (28 September 2017) Jaejoon wanted to die. As a musical protégé, he had quickly risen to stardom only to realize that fame came at a price. Having fallen far from his pedestal and having lost the ability to make music, he decided that death was his only recourse. And so, one summer night, when a typhoon wreaked havoc outside his remote cottage in idyllic Jeju Island, he invited death to come knocking. When death arrived at his door, it brought an unexpected companion. With death came an angel who played beautiful music that stirred his soul. The only problem was, she only spoke English, a language he barely understood. Was this another one of fate's cruel tricks or was it a second chance at redemption? --- A/N: This story was originally written for the #OneMillionProject anthology. It's a project involving a global network of creatives working to fund Cancer Research UK and EMMAUS (Homelessness organization). Thank you to Erikson (@LeQueen-) for helping me with the cover.

    "Juliet awakens from her faux slumber, sitting up to see Friar Lawrence standing there. She inquires about her husband. The friar points to where Romeo's and Paris's body lay, looking first to her cousin then next to her dear Romeo on the ground in an eternal slumber. She moves to Romeo, a stiffness in her joints, refuses to exhale another breath. She kneels beside the body and hovering, reaching out to touch Romeo's pale cheeks. She holds in a cry, her shock taking over. Her shaking hands caressing his skin as if her touch could wake him." Juliet Capulet has now lost the love of her life. While contemplating following him into the great beyond, she decides that revenge on the two houses would serve as a better way to mend her broken heart, but succeeding in this task may prove difficult.

    The cursed land. A prison to throw those who people in power want gone - and not coming back through reincarnation. Raviel could not stop his brother from being banished to this realm, but after 10 long years of magical research he finally has the means to go after him and bring him home. If only finding him in the land infested by monsters - and often by men and women not much better - were that easy. --- Winner of Horror category in The Flower's Awards 2018 --- Heavily inspired by Ravenloft books and the themes of Witcher 3 video game, so if you like either, at least give it a try. Feedback, both positive comments and constructive criticism, is very welcome. WARNING: I would not quite classify this as "mature adults only" - personally I read Ravenloft books in middle school -, but it does get pretty creepy at times. If creepy isn't your thing, you might want to wander elsewhere.

    Ajax narrows his eyes at me, his jaw clenching. Before I know it, he's taken his left hand away from my mouth and is drawing back his right hand. His fist comes right at me and smashes into my face. I can't help but scream. My face explodes with pounding pain as blood runs down my face. I clutch my obviously broken nose, already feeling a bruise form on my cheek. Ajax sneers at my reaction. "Now, monkey face, do you believe it? Do you believe that I hate you so much I'd do anything in my power to get rid of you? I've killed before, and I won't hesitate to do it again." I can't speak because of the pain coursing through my entire head. I try to focus on the problem though I'm already dizzy due to the scent and excessive loss of blood. "You...don't...hate...me...because...you can't...Ajax," I force out between my teeth. **************************************************** Enter Ajax, a boy broken beyond repair. He's given up on ever being happy again because there's nothing to be happy about in his life. He resolves to bullying to let out his ever present anger, as if it would ever make his life better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Enter Alia, already the bully victim of Ajax on her first day in her eighth new school. She enjoys life and makes new friends, but Ajax is in the way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ What do you do when you encounter an obstacle? Do you jump over it? Face it? Go around it? Or...is it possible to...fall for it?

    I suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind me, nothing unusual so I just turned around slowly to see what was wrong. I see a huge man clad in black racing towards me and in his hand was a gun. The man stopped a few feet away from where I was standing and took aim; I barely had time to react before the first shot was fired. I tried to get out of the way but the bullet struck my shoulder lodging deep in my shoulder, for a few seconds I was dazed and couldn't feel anything probably because of the amount of adrenaline pumping in my veins. The pain came in a flash and it was more pain than I've ever had in my entire life. HIGHEST RANK #98 in Mystery/Thriller and Ranked #2 in Newly Published Books. This is a story about two souls that have been friends for a long time but haven't yet realized that fate is trying to bring them together. But Angelica now has a new boyfriend Hunter who is reckless and basically a jerk. Hunter gets into a fight with Christopher which leads Angelica to break up with him. Due to this Angelica gets kidnapped by Hunter's bike gang. Then Christopher realizes something is up so he decides to team up with Dwayne his best friend and his cousin Natalya to bring Angelica his childhood sweetheart back home little do they know that grave peril lies ahead and every step could be their last. This is a small fictional story that I've decided to write. There maybe many errors in the story and if there is any any incorrect information i apologize in advance. Any scene that may seem to have happened is completely coincidental, all these events took place in my own imagination. This is a really interesting book with many cliff hangers and plot twists. You just have to try it to realize it. *A new Chapter will be posted everyday so keep this on your reading lists to get updated when the new chapter comes out. Vote and Share... Thanks for reading*
