Road-trip Stories

Running away from their jobs as camp counselors, Ellie and Seb embark on a road trip with unexpected turns en route to their destination - New York. ***** Camp Raukawee was meant to be where Ellie Morrison and Sebastian Lee spent their summer working as camp counselors, but they've had enough. Escaping in the middle of the night, the friends hatch a crazy plan to make their way to New York to visit Ellie's dad, who she hasn't seen since he moved five years ago. Along the way, however, a series of cities and events have the pair not only questioning their individual futures, but wondering what will happen to the growing spark between them as the countdown to adulthood begins.

Campus Hearts follows freshman Onika Maraj as she starts college at Westbridge University and unexpectedly meets sophomore Beyoncé Knowles.

"An immortal vampire. A world that no longer needs him. And a black cat entirely unimpressed by either fact." "A brooding lord of darkness entirely defeated by the whimsical charms of his cat." Deep within the unforgiving cliffs of Eastern Europe, Lord Victor-an ancient, bloodless vampire-has spent centuries frozen in the tedious amber of immortality. Having lost his land, his lineage, and the mortal wife he only realized he loved when it was far too late, Victor has long forgotten the meaning of purpose. But when a serene, golden-auraed Buddha unexpectedly breaches his castle walls and shatters his centuries of stagnation, Victor is left with no choice but to step out into a rapidly modernizing world that no longer requires his presence. Strapping his heavy oak coffin-filled with his homeland's soil-to his back, and accompanied by a delightfully troublesome black cat who treats the lord of the night like a mere scratching post, Victor sets out on a train journey bound for the mysterious East. 🧛♀️Author's Note: Thank you for visiting The Wandering Vampire!

In Midwest America taken over by AI and robotics, a 12-year-old girl sets out to find her mom and uncle, who were taken for the high crime of stealing water. This story has been my way of working through my anxieties about the present and codifying my hopes for the future. May be all be a little more discerning and a little more kind. Posting daily for the first week, then weekly until it's done. Thanks for joining me on this ride! Special thanks to my wife Amanda for her feminine perspective.

Andrea Moretti ma dwadzieścia lat, miejsce w jednym z najszybszych bolidów na świecie i jeden cel - zostać mistrzem Formuły 1. Nathaniel „Nate" Vale ma dwadzieścia pięć lat, trzy sezony doświadczenia i dokładnie ten sam plan. Na torze są rywalami. Reprezentują konkurencyjne zespoły, walczą o te same punkty i wiedzą, że pod koniec roku tylko jeden z nich może stanąć na szczycie. Poza torem wszystko zaczyna wyglądać trochę inaczej. Kolejne raceweeki oznaczają wspólne konferencje, eventy sponsorów, lotniska, hotele i coraz więcej czasu spędzanego w tym samym świecie. Kilka przypadkowych rozmów zamienia się w żarty, żarty w przyjaźń, a przyjaźń w coś, czego coraz trudniej nie zauważyć - szczególnie kiedy internet zaczyna analizować każde ich spojrzenie i każde zdjęcie z paddocku. A potem przychodzi lato. Kilka dni w Monako przeradza się w spontaniczną podróż po Europie, a Andrea i Nate wracają z niej bliżsi niż kiedykolwiek. Tyle że sezon trwa dalej. Im mniej wyścigów pozostaje do końca, tym większa staje się presja. Każdy punkt może zdecydować o mistrzostwie, każdy błąd może kosztować wszystko, a człowiek, któremu zaczynasz ufać najbardziej, nadal jest tym samym człowiekiem, którego musisz pokonać. Mogą dzielić wszystko - samoloty, sekrety, życie poza torem, a gdy nikt nie patrzy, to nawet jedno łóżko w pokoju hotelowym. Problem w tym, że mistrzostwa świata podzielić się nie da. A na końcu sezonu jeden z nich będzie musiał odebrać drugiemu wszystko, o co ten walczył.

A trip to Ladakh was supposed to be about friendship, freedom, and making memories they would never forget. Until the past arrived unexpectedly. An old love. Unfinished feelings.

Someone who has been there all along. Between mountain roads, sleepless nights, stolen glances, jealousy, laughter, and moments that were never supposed to mean anything... everything begins to change.

New Supernatural novel by @Knightmaretracks. I will be posting this story on Royal Road and also available on Webnovel as well. Some people inherit wealth. Some inherit land. The Mehra brothers inherited a war no one admits exists. Twenty-one years ago, their mother died protecting them from something that should never have crossed into the human world. Their father, a decorated army officer, spent the years after turning his grief into preparation - training his sons for a life lived on the edge of myth and reality. Now, in 2025, he's gone. All that remains is a trail of unfinished cases, forgotten folklore, and a legacy neither son truly wanted. Dhruv Mehra believes in force, instinct, and ending threats before they grow. Siddharth Mehra believes in knowledge, compassion, and understanding what others fear. Bound by blood and divided by belief, the brothers travel across India in a modified black Contessa, hunting what hides behind local legends - restless spirits, ancient curses, and truths buried deeper than any grave. Each case pulls them closer to answers about their past... and to a danger that has been waiting far longer than they realize. In Virasat, monsters are real, folklore is history, and family is the most dangerous inheritance of all.

TBD - This story is still very much in the works, so bear with me as I figure it all out. Yes, it has Frank Castle in it (I mean... duh), but this is going to be a slow burn. We're taking our time with this one. I'll try to release 1-3 chapters a day, so sit back, enjoy the ride, and let's see where Lucy's story takes us. <3

Dahil walang pamasahe, sumakay siya sa lumang bisikleta niyang si Jack, kasama ang asong si Hiraya, at nagsimulang magpadyak mula Manila. Sa daang puno ng ahon, ulan, pagod, mga bagong kakilala at hindi inaasahang pangyayari, isang simpleng paglalakbay para sa trabaho ang unti-unting naging isang adventure na magbabago sa pananaw ni Francis sa buhay. Dahil minsan, kailangan mong lumayo para malaman kung ano talaga ang mahalaga. Ito ang kuwento ng isang lalaki, isang aso, isang bisikleta, at isang paglalakbay patungong Baguio.

With their car packed and Ren now traveling alongside them, the five girls leave the kingdom and head toward lands they've never seen before.

New roads, unfamiliar towns, dangerous wilderness, and countless mysteries await beyond Valedria. Their search for a way home continues. Six travelers. One road. An entire world ahead.

Basically my sona, my lover, and some algebraliens all go on a road trip, they will take turns writing in the journal! Let's see how long they'll last ig

Some journeys end. Others begin where the road disappears. On a storm-soaked night, a truck driver enters Bhatan Tunnel and never comes out. Hours later, four friends-celebrating a small victory and dismissing every warning as superstition-choose the same road. What begins as an ordinary drive turns into a nightmare as the tunnel bends time, erases exits, and traps them inside a loop that refuses to end. As the darkness tightens and the road repeats itself, buried guilt, denied truths, and forgotten choices surface-because the tunnel does not want fear. It wants acknowledgment. The Last Ride Through Bhatan Tunnel is a tightly paced Indian horror novella that blends psychological dread with supernatural suspense, exploring denial, consequence, and what waits for those who refuse to stop. Some roads don't lead forward. They lead inward.

Every storm leaves something behind. Twenty-three-year-old Skylar Hayes has spent her life running toward the storms everyone else flees. After a deadly tornado claims her veteran storm-chaser father, she vows to prove his final forecast was right-and that his death wasn't the result of reckless chasing. Joining an elite storm-chasing research team known as Tempest One, Skylar crosses Tornado Alley in pursuit of the most violent supercells ever recorded. Alongside brilliant meteorologists, fearless photographers, and emergency responders, she quickly learns that Mother Nature doesn't care about reputations... or second chances. But when an unprecedented weather pattern begins spawning tornadoes with impossible strength, Skylar uncovers evidence that someone is ignoring safety warnings in pursuit of fame and viral footage. Now the race isn't just against the storm. It's against time. With entire towns in the path of destruction, Skylar must decide whether to capture the storm of a lifetime... or sacrifice everything to save the people beneath it. Sometimes the greatest battle isn't surviving the tornado. It's surviving the choices made before it touches the ground.
