Hoping to rekindle her friendships, she's excited about a carefree summer with her best friends Keely and Miles. But life in the sleepy town has changed, and no one and nothing is as it seems. When a series of startling crimes threaten Olivia's fragile state, she is plunged into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Her only solace from the chaos is West, Miles's disowned and ruggedly handsome brother, but even he can't answer the question on everyone's minds-is Olivia really in danger or is it simply all in her head?

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When a summer of fun turns upside down, Olivia must figure out whether her paranoid imagination is playing tricks on her or if she's being followed - and by who. ***** It's been years since Olivia nearly drowned in Caldwell Beach, and after moving away, she's back for the summer to reconnect with old friends. However, not everything-or everyone-is the same. Her childhood best friend, Miles, is still sweet and carefree, but his older brother West is not. Disowned and working at the local garage, he's distanced himself from everyone, until Olivia accidentally uncovers the reason why. But as the two grow closer, strange things begin happening to Olivia. She can't stop seeing shadows and hearing voices, but as she slips into a downward spiral of obsessiveness and paranoia, she must fight to uncover the truth behind who is after her, and why.

One day, another human went diving just to find "Ophelia." The story could be extended if there is someone who likes it.

Matthew Leon takes on the job of the lighthouse keeper that has been passed down in his family for years. Which means he'll have to live all alone on a tiny island 10 km off the main land, couped in an old, cold tower. It was simple: keep the light on, and if you have time, help the wildlife around the island. Except one night, something strange and unusual washes up on the shore, twisting his beliefs of what is real and what isn't.

Together, they unravel an old love story that once threatened to drown her family's past... and now, just might save her own heart.

'ENDLESS SUMMER!' takes place in the small seaside town of Kaigan, where the days feel long and familiar. The air smells like salt and summer heat, cicadas cry from the trees, and the waves hit the shore every morning like they always have. Festivals come and go. The town wakes up, goes to sleep, and repeats itself so gently that it's easy to believe nothing will ever change. And because of that, four friends begin to hold onto each other tighter than they ever have before. This is the year something shifts. The year they laugh louder than usual, speak less about what they're really thinking, and slowly start to understand that every moment they share matters more than it used to. One of them dreams of leaving Kaigan behind, desperate to see what exists beyond the town's narrow streets. One cannot imagine leaving at all, finding comfort in the places and people he has always known. One is tied to a future already decided for him, expected to take over his family's business whether he wants to or not. And one refuses to let go, clinging to traditions, memories, and friendships as if holding on tightly enough might stop time. As the year goes on and summer draws closer, they begin to realize that the end of the season won't just mean the start of something new. It will mean choices. It will mean goodbyes. It will mean growing up. Four friends. Four different paths. And a summer that feels endless, even as it slips away.

Life is a wave of heartaches, difficulties and unexpected events. I loved but life is a wave. I am twisted and doomed like a faded wave.

An idyllic morning at the beach, until a child desperately clings to a buoy in the deep water.

The sea was always a force to be reckoned with. If you faced it with too much pride, it would swallow you without a trace-but it was just as easy to fall in love with it, especially when you didn't yet understand how dangerous that love could be. There was something beneath its surface, something old and patient, watching and waiting. When my mother told me that we were moving to my grandpa's place by the seaside, I had no idea her words were leading me straight into it. My name is Jonathan-my friends call me John-and I never in a million years would have guessed that the sea would remember me, or that some secrets refuse to stay buried forever.

Mara's life in Seabrook has always been simple, peaceful-until Harry stumbles into her quiet world. A Popstar on a break from the limelight, Harry is seeking solace from the constant noise of fame. But when their paths cross, Mara is drawn to his charm and the ease with which he slips into her life. Though their connection is undeniable, Maya is hesitant. She's spent her life keeping her heart guarded, and with someone like Harry-a man whose world is full of change and uncertainty-she's afraid of falling too fast, of letting someone so temporary become too important. As their bond deepens, Mara is faced with a choice: keep her distance and protect her heart, or follow the pull of something more real than she's ever felt before. In a town where time seems to stand still, can love truly find its way?
