    |ONC 2026 SAMPLE| Sparks fly when Riley, a human, and Brenda, a ghost, meet while investigating the Cold Case Murder of Banyan and are dragged into the adventure of a lifetime. *** Thirteen-year-old Riley doesn't believe in ghosts-not until he meets Brenda, the victim of the Cold Case Murder of Banyan from the 1970s. People claim someone strangled her and dropped her body into a well, while others believe she strangled herself with her tights, accidentally or deliberately. Drawn in by Brenda, Riley learns how to trap her spirit into a stuffed animal via his father's YouTube channel and takes her from her house for the first time in fifty years, where he learns the truth behind her and his mother's mysterious disappearance when he was born, leading to an encounter with the Banyan Serial Killer. Now, he and Brenda must work together to prevent him from escaping into the Human World and destroying everything Riley loves, including his newfound attraction for Brenda, his first real friend. Will Riley and Brenda's love save their worlds, or will the serial killer continue his kill streak even as a demon? Most importantly, will Brenda ever rest in peace? *** Inkspired Review (5/5): "I love the story; it's scary, with great characters and interesting. I would love to know what happens next. Please keep writing!*

When a twenty-five-year-old story writer dies in 2026, she expects an ending. Instead, she wakes up in the damp, coal-dusted grit of 1919 Small Heath, reborn as Krystal Gray-the mixed-race daughter Polly Gray hid from the world, and the cousin the formidable Shelby brothers treat as their fragile light. Armed with a blurry memory of the television script, Krystal plays the bubbly observer, anchoring Tommy through his midnight terrors while secretly rewriting the family's bloody future. From defusing car bombs to rigging the Atlantic shipping channels, she alters the timeline piece by piece to keep her family breathing. But when a tragic twist of fate wrenches her from the Midlands and drops her into the high-society world of an old-money shipping empire, her two worlds inevitably collide. Surrounded by corporate monsters, fascist politicians, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Krystal must step out of the margins to protect both of her families. Because in a world run by iron and ledger sheets, the script is officially broken-and the blank page is a dangerous luxury.

Fearing that he's failing as a parent, Mando seeks out Jedi Master Luke Skywalker for help, since Grogu trained with him for a while, and brings Rotta the Hutt with him, to Luke's hesitation. However, on his way to Luke, he's attacked by a mysterious, invisible enemy, who injures him and damages his Mandalorian helmet. To honor the Creed, Mando replaces the damaged helmet with a new one, only to be thrust into an adventure across the galaxy when Luke senses dark energy from it, and they learn there may be a hidden base in the Outer Rim using technology for unethical purposes. Mando and his allies must now find the mastermind behind this new organization before darkness spreads across the galaxy, and Mando and Grogu lose contact with The Way forever.

    |ONC 2026 · ORIGINAL NOVELLA #1| A gifted teen embarks on a journey to join two tribes during the Last Age, as they search for the mystical Bering Land Bridge. *** Fifteen-year-old Khochu, the only surviving child of Vika and Sasha, wants only one thing: to find a place where humans and animals can live in peace from the bitter Ice Age--a place he has dreamed about for years--and prove his sickly family's strength. However, his life changes when he's chosen to begin his rite of passage early and meets Nikita, a cannibal girl from a neighboring tribe, who is also struggling to find food in the icy world. As the two begin to bond and explore Khochu's unique gift of animal whispering, Khochu learns he is the key to everything: a door that forces the rival tribes together across the icy steppes. As they search for a new life, Khochu and his animal friends must use their gifts to protect the tribes from predators. Still, the connection between Khochu and Nikita begins to interfere with Khochu's test, which is not good for a boy trying to prove that the Bering Land Bridge isn't a myth. Is growing up really this difficult? *** *ONC 2026 Prompt used: Number 61 - "They say every door has its own key. Except for one, a key said to open them all."

    The heroes have me surrounded. My health bar bleeds red. One more hit could end me. The players think I'm the monster of this world. They don't know the truth. They don't care. People say you can fight the fate forced upon you-that a villain doesn't have to live like one. But for me, it wasn't that simple. I wished this was just another light-hearted isekai-missions, plot, level up, be loved, be happy, even as a villain. If only my game were that simple. But no... it wasn't even a game. Not for us humans. Now, with every side gunning for me, I have one final offer: Give us our freedom... and I'll give them an ending they'll never forget. One battle. One choice. One villain's last deal.

    Not part of "The Human Ache Series" This is a poetry book that is completely personal. I write poems to help cope with feelings. And the book I'm currently writing has a specific theme so I can't exactly vent in it. So you can consider this book a vent poems book. The poems in this are free verse poems (or sometimes rhyming) where I just rambled about how I was feeling. I might professionally organize this book once it finishes but I do not intend to now so it'll not have any intros or symbolism explanations for now. I'll just use it to write my feelings when I'm overwhelmed (which I am very often).You may not take it seriously or even consider it a part of my writings so far. I might also use this book to write poems for contests and stuff in the future.
