Theopennovellacontest Stories

There is a world existing and living in a symmetrical dimension and system that seldom comes in touch with the human one. It is a world of shadows, of darkness, of wicked sprites and malicious spirits, ruled by violent and dangerous laws and governors. A vicious and violence-lusting new creature challenges the Lady of Shadows' realm, and it cannot be killed nor destroyed by her powers, magic or sword. Only one is destined to this fight: a broken human being named Conor with a difficult past of drugs addiction and a precarious present. A journey of challenges, struggles, magic, dark sentiments, damnation or redemption is laid before Conor and he has one choice only, if he wishes to go back to his own world. But does he really wish so? This story is written for The Open Novella Contest in the genre of Fantasy.

A pair of beautiful warm lips, a rush of passion, a feeling of being complete once and forever, a pair of beautiful eyes as deep as the ocean, beautiful dark hair reaching up to his neck, which shone brown in the sun, and then he comes near me and holds my hands gently. I lose myself in his eyes, there's nothing except those liquid eyes which could see into my soul, I tried to see his face. But it was all a blur, a soft pair of lips touched mine as gentle as a feather but it created a rush of electricity in my body. I wanted to own every bit of him... then again my head was spinning...I lost my balance, I fell down and my head hit the floor. The whole world spun and I found my sight dimming. My head hurt and yet I tried to push through the curtain of darkness, His face...I had to see his face...and yes I could see a pair of eyebrows, a perfect smile and then the outline of his face was forming....I was sweating from the exertion and then the world plunged into darkness. And I lost myself in the endless abyss of unconsciousness. What do you think happens when you can't remember the person you loved? #543 in Romance as of 30.11.17

⭐️ Highest Ranking #255 in Paranormal 01/01/2018⭐️ For two hundred years the Crown was safe under the protection of the werewolves. A new threat has risen that places not only the Crown but the very existence of all the species, inhuman and human alike, that walk the earth in peril. There was a distinctive stench carried through in the light breeze that caressed her fur. A rotten smell mixed with wet soil. That stench had been toying with her for the past week. She had been out to hunt twice and it annoyed her that she had not been able to pinpoint its location. "Maila, come on. It's time to head back," Luc shouted. She growled in protest giving him a good view of her sharpened teeth.

There's a light. Washes everything in a sickly yellow glow. Cool, damp air weighs, heavy and cold. Dark cracks split white plaster. The light flickers. Peeling, yellowing walls, blacked out and bolted windows, steel locked door. Up on the ceiling, the light in the bulb winks in and out of existence. One hour. ...Count....

Teleya lives a privileged life, she has a decent sized house, her parents are rarely home and they will buy her almost anything, but there is one rule. She's not allowed to open, touch, or go near the closet located on the third floor. Involves a sleepover, the reappearance of an old friend turned enemy, and something we like to call the Otherworld. (For the Open Novella Contest) I do not own the picture I edited for the cover. And I will not be putting the open novella sticker thing on it till I get eliminated. Which will probably be next round. Notes: There might be some editing now and then, will try to update maybe once a week? The title and the cover are subject to change. Grammar is stupid as is punctuation. And lastly this story does include a minor integration of the German language, some of the maybe harder to understand things I will translate while using The Book Thief novel as a model because as some of you might know, that book has a decent amount of German in it. This story is based off the Open Novella Contest portal writing prompt, though I did change a few minor things. Note: This does include a crossover (maybe 2) with previous things I have written that you will not be able to read (maybe)

She hadn't meant for it to happen.

When the clock strikes midnight, all bets are off, but when daylight approaches Harper knows her horses must turn back to mice, her carriage must turn back into a pumpkin and she must turn back into the baby sister in the background.

[on hold] While clearing out her attic for a move to a new flat, Ailis comes across a box full of sentimental old junk. She's just going through a bundle of cheesy old love letters from her late husband, who mysteriously disappeared three years ago, when she comes across one she's never seen before. The envelope is already open, and it seems older than the rest of the letters, though she doesn't recognize the handwriting. Sparked by a sudden rush of excitement and curiosity, she takes it upon herself to find out who wrote the strange letter. As she digs deeper and deeper, finding out more and more about the writer, things start making sense, and signs pop up indicating there might even be a connection between the note and her husband's disappearance...

Alexander's life was somewhat complicated until one night a strange light took him to a new world. Faced with new problems, he will need the help of his new friends to save his new home where everyone apparently fears and hates him
