Newengland Stories

After the sudden death of his parents, sixteen-year-old Rowan Hale is sent to spend the summer in the quiet coastal town of Blackwood Bay. The town is... wrong. The people are too friendly, like they're watching him. The woods feel alive, like something is always just out of sight. And the bay itself-still and silent around a rusted shipwreck-doesn't behave like water should. The only person who doesn't seem to fit is Andy Calder-distant, guarded, and impossible to ignore. As Rowan's anxiety worsens and strange things begin to blur the line between reality and illusion, he starts to realize the truth: Blackwood Bay doesn't just hide something. It's waiting.

Jack Chasey, former renowned superstar, absent for most of her childhood, is getting married to a woman Mari hardly knows. He gets to begin again, build something new, while Mari grapples with a fractured life and all the scattered pieces of herself.

Once Mari's closest friend, then another person that passed by like a comet, she still knows Mari and all the shards of her. Even the sharper ones. In the stillness of winter, Mari reconnects with the quiet life Jack always wanted for her, the softer parts of her that only Kinney can tap into, and what it truly means to be her mother's daughter. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 29, 46, & 77 [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2026 ROUND 1 WINNER]] © 2026 caterina george // all rights reserved
