Nonc Stories

Bagaimana jika seseorang yang kita cintai tiba tiba hilang ingatan?? Dia melupakan semua kenangan tentang kita selama ini dan memilih untuk menjalani kehidupan yang baru dengan orang lain.

After years of struggling to make it as an actor, Daniel Shephard is finally about to make it big. He's landed the lead in a superhero movie. He's about to be Captain Universe with the whole world. That is, if he can make it to his agent in time to sign the contract. Which is easier said than done, as Daniel wakes up, only a few days before the need to sign the contract, in a locked room with no escape. He doesn't know who's abducted him or why. The only clue he has is the manuscript pushed in under the door. A script so terribly bad, it physically pains him to read it. Now Daniel is forced to act out the script--while wearing increasingly ludicrous costumes--and deliver a performance of a lifetime, to appease the manic author who has him trapped, before he loses his spot in the limelight. *** This is an ONC story, using prompt #6: Walking down the street, a stranger approaches you. He/she stares intently into your eyes for a moment and then says, "I know what you need to do." *** "If you liked Misery but didn't like the maiming, drug abuse, peril, or murder then you'll love this!!!"

In a world ruled by men, one woman makes a stand. When her father and brother die in the Napoleonic Wars, Corinna Wolverstoke of Penninghall and her mother Liz are thrown at the mercy of the merciless man who takes over the title. Corinna has to steal to stave off genteel starvation, but she does it with style: She dresses up as a highwayman, using her soothsaying skills to find her victims. Highway robbery keeps the little family alive, but for how long? The price on her head weighs heavier than the gun in her hand. The days she holds up the Marquis of Demoral, she knows she's found her match. In more ways than one. This is based on ONC Prompt #2: The moment you realize you saw something that could cost your life. Now all you can do is try and outrun them.

Choice has always been a stranger to Gustavo. As the son of the illustrious Count of Marcliff, everything is chosen for him from his favourite pastime, riding, to the length of his beard, never past the chin. And when it comes to school, his desire to go to Cambridge is overshadowed by his father's choice: Oxford. But one rainy afternoon at Oxford, fortune smiles on the young count-to-be, landing him in a tailor's shop where the lovely Miku's smile makes him forget Cambridge even exists. Every moment spent by Miku's side causes Gustavo to hope--no, to presume--that he will have the choice of asking her to be his bride. But a letter from his father quickly dashes that dream to pieces: Gustavo is engaged to marry a duke's daughter. He has followed his father's wishes his whole life, always striving to preserve the Dinamarca name. But this is one step too far. He will not abandon Miku for some stranger his father picked out. No matter how well-connected she may be. Beset by a tempest of anger, grief, and confusion, Gustavo meets a mysterious fortune-teller who knows what he needs to do. He needs to convince Miku to marry him. And if she agrees, they will need to make it to Scotland before Lord Marcliff can stop them. Even if they can evade his father, the path to the Scottish border is fraught with obstacles that will shake their love to its foundation. +++ Based on Prompt Number 6 - ONC 2022
