Michigan Stories

"If you feel it too... then maybe we were never just friends." Luke Hughes has never come home without Bailey Parker waiting. Michigan summers were always the same. Luke, Jack, and Quinn flying back the moment the season ended. Lake days. Late nights. Inside jokes that never faded. And Bailey-his childhood best friend-right there in the middle of it all, like she belonged. Because she did. Bailey has always been his. Not in the romantic way. Not in the way that complicates things. Just... his best friend. His constant. His safe place. But this summer? This summer is different. Luke is older. The NHL is real. And Bailey isn't just the girl who knows him better than anyone anymore-she's the girl he looks at and has to look away from. The girl whose laugh lingers. The girl he's not supposed to fall for. They don't talk about it. They can't. Because one confession could ruin everything they've built since childhood. Because loving each other means risking the one thing they've never lost. And yet, every stolen glance, every late-night conversation, every almost-touch asks the same dangerous question: What if staying silent hurts more than telling the truth?

Shelby Wilson has always been invisible to the crowd, until she has to live with the Parkston boys.

ruth mckay is ronnie's bestfriend. it was only fair that ronnie invited ruth to stay in a cabin with the kiszkas over 4th of july. ruth has always liked josh. it was almost sickening how much she liked him. except, she can't even fathom the idea that josh may like her back. how is she supposed to act while she's in close proximity with him? this is meant to be a short read. if you're looking for something longer, check out my other josh book! and, im not exactly sure how to end it. so, the book is basically done, no cliffhangers. all it's missing is an epilogue :)

This is a composition of journal entries that I have written throughout my life that I have decided to share with you. Each entry is true, depicting little moments in my life, much like a photograph.

[Okay, this is under construction... I'm re-writing this, and I'm not gonna post the re-written chapters until all of them are done... So just be patient! And thanks for reading! :3] It's the beginning of my eighth grade year and I'm going to make it the best school year of my life! Or at least that's what I thought. What's gonna happen if wrong ingredients are added in the recipe for an awesome year, l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶m̶b̶o̶y̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ ? Maybe a dash of competition for first chair trumpet, a pinch of interesting teachers, one helping of some creepy french transfer student (who is in no way charming, and is just a flamboyant idiot), one or two love triangles, and a whole lot of craziness could make a great year, or it could just turn in to a huge disaster! Let's just hope that my yearbook picture turns out decently this year... So, where was I again? Oh yeah, Sasha, what's so great about him anyway?!

Isabella Minnelli always went for the wrong guys. She seemed to always find herself with some alcoholic "bad boy" that was no good for her or for anyone else. Isabella makes the wise conclusion of swearing off all men and focusing on her dancing career. She was already assistant teaching at an old dance studio in her hometown, so Isabella makes the brash decision to enter herself and her dance trainer into a national dance competition. With her inexplicable luck, tragedy strikes her dance partner just before the first sectional dance contest. It's far too late to find a new associate, and Isabella's about ready to give up on her life-long dreams and prove to her Noni that she's not strong enough for this career-risking competition. But her trainer's frivolous and oh-so-cheerful twin brother won't let her quit. Isabella can only hope that his dancing skills contradict his personality. *credit to @weeknder for the beautiful cover! c:

My third short story for the National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest takes place in Michigan in the early 1980s, where a teenage boy is devastated by the death of his younger brother at the hands of polyurethane, a type of plastic commonly used for insulation at the time. What seems like a totally normal Valentine's Day turns into one he'll never forget, and never take for granted, especially when it comes to protecting those at home, in the sea, and the entire world.

Story I had written in 10th Grade (im a junior now) using the cabin I had stayed up in Drummond Island when I went a couple years as inspiration with the setting including the two 4-Wheelers. I had started writing a sequel to the story but I gave up on it because of writers block but I want the opinion of you guys if I should continue with the sequel. Enjoy!!

At the far end of Farley Street in the quaint town of Mackinaw City, Michigan, a young boy named Zeke Tartal is born under the most bizarre circumstances. His entry into the world is marked by a supernatural storm and a maternity clinic that mysteriously disappears. Little do his parents know that their son's destiny reaches far beyond Earth and into the cosmic realms of the universe. Zeke is no ordinary boy. Guided by cosmic forces and watched over by unseen playmates, he begins to uncover the truth about his origins: he is a Lyran starseed, a being of light reincarnated from an ancient galactic warrior. As Zeke grows up, strange occurrences follow him. He experiences mystical events, confronts unknown forces, and communicates with spiritual guides that only his dog, Coconut, can sense. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, he meets a range of otherworldly characters, including a couplet-singing hummingbird, a wisecracking, moonshine-loving leprechaun, and a cosmic love interest named Zoom. Identical in appearance to the crush he lost in childhood, Zoom shows Zeke the wonders of the universe and the truth of his birth. Along the way, he begins to remember his past life as a warrior from the constellation Lyra, and he soon realizes that his mission on Earth is much larger than he could have ever imagined. As he flows in and out of dimensions, Zeke must find a way to balance his earthly existence with his galactic duties. His path is filled with supernatural adventure stories, interwoven with moments of reflection, spirituality, and the realization that light and dark are constantly at war - not only in the universe but within himself.
