Ouellette Stories

Clockwork: A Mind Wound Tight is a reimagining of the notorious Creepypasta- stripped of shock value and rebuilt as a slow, unsettling psychological descent. Natalie Ouellette is a brilliant, damaged teenager growing up in a house ruled by neglect, alcoholism, and cruelty. Time becomes her refuge. She counts it. Measures it. Learns to listen to its rhythm when no one else will. A pocket watch becomes her anchor. A stuffed giraffe her last comfort. And lullabies- soft, haunting, and bitter- become the only language she has left for grief. As Natalie moves closer to adulthood, her trauma does not disappear. It sharpens. Her mind begins to work like a mechanism wound too tight, every injustice recorded, every moment remembered. Revenge, when it comes, is quiet... precise... Inevitable. This is not a story about gore or spectacle. It's about time. It's about survival. And it's about what happens when a wounded mind keeps perfect count. Tick by tick.

In the heart of the prairies, under the roaring lights of Mosaic Stadium, two lives collide in ways neither of them expected. A.J. Ouellette is the Roughriders' newest running back-gritty, relentless, and carrying the weight of every yard he's ever fought for. He's not looking for distractions. He's here to work, win, and prove he belongs in green and white. Elise Orban is the fiercely independent football team masseuse. A former college athlete turned physiotherapist, she's built a life on discipline, strength, and never letting a football player break her heart again. But when an injury puts A.J. under Elise's care, sparks fly-fast and unrelenting. As the Rider season heats up, so does their chemistry, igniting a slow-burn romance built on stubbornness, loyalty, and late-night recovery sessions.

There was no changing her mind now. She had been staying there for so long now that it's gotten boring for her and soon she would have to leave. Not that she wanted to but she had to. But could she leave?
