Mississippi Stories

Set in August 2006, in the quiet town of Vicksburg, Mississippi, Marley Rose Harlow begins a new chapter at a brand-new school.

But everything changes when she meets Jason "Jace" Beckett, an understanding and kind-hearted 8th-grader who sees beyond her struggles. "With her newfound love for photography, every click of Marley Rose's camera captures a moment that reflects her own story-one frame at a time, in more ways than she ever imagined." As their friendship deepens, Jace becomes Marley's safe space. But life takes them in different directions, and nearly a decade later, they're on separate paths-until fate unexpectedly brings them back together. Now grown and facing a different kind of world, their connection reignites. In this modern retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Marley and Jace must confront not only their shared past but also the obstacles that threaten to tear them apart again. Can love defy the odds, or will family pressures and old wounds drive them apart once more?

(Based off the Hunger Games) The nation is falling apart. The water levels have decreased dramatically. The 50 states rebelled 58 years ago without success. The Capitol then decided to punish them by taking a boy and girl between ages 13-19 and make them battle to the death before transporting them to a controlled environment. These teens are known as "Our fellow Entertainers". The 50 teens must then battle them to the death until only 5 of them is left. Those are The winners. This annual event is known as The Game of Treachery. Lots of people gather to watch as the Entertainers brutally murder each other and form bonds in hopes that they will survive. The Entertainers from poorer states are always the ones to go first but this year might be different.

Set in the coast of Mississippi, Love, Journey follows sixteen-year-old Journey Lynette as she navigates the complexities of family, faith, and self-discovery. Living in a low-income apartment with her volatile, bipolar mother, Journey feels the weight of her family's pain, the scars of her past, and a deep yearning for freedom. Journey's world is small and chaotic, filled with the noise of daily survival, but her longing for peace takes her to quiet places-like the beach, where she wrestles with her questions about God, her fractured faith, and her desire to escape the life that feels like it's crushing her. When Journey meets Alarik, a calm and thoughtful mechanic with a passion for vintage cars and quiet faith, their connection challenges her in ways she didn't expect. He doesn't try to fix her or save her; instead, his steady presence becomes a safe space in a world that often feels too loud. As Journey grapples with the tension between loyalty to her mother and the need to find herself, Love, Journey explores the messiness of love and life - love for her mother, for her broken family, for God, and, most importantly, for herself. It's a raw, heartfelt story about staying rooted in the very place you want to run from, and finding freedom not in escape, but in the quiet courage to face your pain, heal, and begin again.

Jack Price, a small-town public defender living in Coles Creek, Mississippi, gets more than he bargains for when he's appointed to represent Lester Crowe, a mysterious drifter charged with the murder of local high school girl Amanda Dunbar. Jack soon finds out Lester Crowe is no ordinary client; he just might be the Devil himself.

With the help of a former client named Eddie who owes Jack a favor, Jack embarks on a mission to find Sarah on his own. In a race against time, Jack must find and rescue Sarah before Lester is acquitted for murder. Along the way he'll have to deal with Lester's minions - a group of people Jack's wife dubs the "broken men" - as well as the supernatural games Lester plays, even as he's locked in his cell at the Hernando County Sheriff's Department. This supernatural thriller, told from Jack's perspective and set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, runs about 67,000 words. At least the first two chapters will be posted here on Wattpad.

An attempt at a horror story based on some life experiences. Please give me feedback and advice to improve it

Just a bunch of stories that probably shouldn't have gone anywhere but my teachers' desks, but ended up here anyway...

It's 1940. A girl must win the heart of the one who can't be touched. This is my tribute and sequel to the film, "Loss of a Teardrop Diamond." A film adaption of a 1920's screen play by Tennessee Williams, which I adored. I'm not certain if I would require rights to publish this, but I noticed a demand for a sequel by fellow fans of the romance between Fisher and James, and so I wanted to attempt it. If it does require rights, I could change names, situations and events. When Twenty-year old, Avery Dobyne, returns home to Mississippi after her eductation in Paris, her father is propositioned by his previous lover Vinnie McCorckil. Their romance was cut short by his marriage to Fisher Willow. Vinnie went on to marry a man of little title and not Avery's father, the man she loved. Now Fisher is dead and her only daughter, Avery, is the way for Vinnie to extract what she had always wanted. A better way of life for herself and her family. Her only son is a Goldsmith named Carson. He knows of their affair before his father's proposal. Avery does not. Vinnie schemes to bring Avery and Carson together and eventually marry, so as to earn their riches. Avery is worlds apart from his poverished livelyhood and prospects. Unlike his mother he values his morals and beliefs that one can be happy without material gain. Yet in time he is forced to accompany Avery to a social gathering as her escort, much the same way her father had her mother the night they became a couple. Only this time Vinnie hopes for a joining of hearts in her favour, even though Carson may be hard to break and fall for the charms and beauty of Miss Avery Willow Dobyne. Unedited.
