People are not always who they seem to be.

What happens when a man meets the woman of his dreams? Well he falls in love and they live happily ever after right? That's always what happens.

That's where you're wrong. She may just be more than the beautiful woman her perceives her to be. She may just come from a crazy how filled with crazy people.

You just might never know..... unless you read to find out.

*I had to write this for my AP English class, so I figured I'd share it with you all. It's a short story    in the style of Edgar Allan Poe.All Rights Reserved

I Found You in 1984 "UNANG PAGKIKITA" | ON HOLD by MsCrimeless

Insomnia by JRJohansson

"It's been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me." Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp spends each night trapped in the dream of the last person he's made eye contact with. Every night he is crushed by other people's fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets--and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion from his brain never truly sleeping is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing the real life nightmares of psychosis and even death. Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. There is no denying how badly Parker needs it. When he starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia's eye every day, everyone at school thinks he's gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it's Parker. Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

The Recruit by DamienHardy

A girl who had a dream to die, met a man who could grant her last wish. With him, she found love and comfort that she had never found before. She walked away from him willingly, only to meet him again years later after knowing the man she fell in love with was not the man she thought he was and that he was in danger. He saved her soul before, now it was up to her to save him. Could they find their way back to each other's arms? Or death would find them first?

Shadows by LAKirkegaard

Some things you just can't avoid, like falling in love. As much as you try to avoid, or search for it, it always seems to find you, or elude you. It seemed to find me every corner I turned, and I always tried to avoid it but alas, for some unknown reason, it found me. I retell my story in this writing, my story of love, deceit, power, and loss. Would you join me if I told you I could give you anything? Even love? Tell me what you need and I will grant you what you wish for. But before I do, will you join me in the retelling of this story? And if you will join me, then watch, carefully, the Shadows.

The Gentleman Killer by LaraJayJackson7

INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...

A Mere Reflection by Kariido

I'd like to consider each part a story in itself. While I always connected the characters with each other, something felt different in each part. It's a story about many aspects of our thoughts, some of which never have touch with reality, and some we see every day. You might not understand this unless you travel inside the characters thoughts, and yours for that matter.

The unreachable mountain by Growened

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

Not one of them by Foxtail13

But what happens when she's attacked and the man who saved her, came to her school. Things go wrong and Selena learns something she never knew about herself. But who want's to be one of them, who wants to not be human. So she runs, and runs into something much worse... Any names or places that connect to real life is a coincidence. This is fiction.

Gold Digger (Complete) by SibilaStella

"I want you to be present at every beck and call of mine. And your contacts with men should be very limited" "What exactly do you think I am?" "I know what exactly you are. You love the money and I have it. So don't be fussy and just accept what I'm giving you. I can be a very generous man. But in return, I expect my money's worth". ****************************************** 'MISUNDERSTANDING', A simple word yet so consequential. Add a pinch of prejudice and it can serve as a gasoline on fire. Berry lived a boring, uneventful life. Until one day her boss retires and a new boss comes in. But this new man has made it his mission to turn her world upside down. Sweeps her off her feet and makes her feel things she had never before. But is he really as nice as he seems? Berry sheds her past experience to let go. But is this the right decision? Because the man in the dark suit seems too good to be true.

Until my last breath... by caitlin-naicker

I have read many love stories in hope that mine could end up with a happy ever after. Have you ever met someone and when you look into their eyes it's like everything becomes clear and you realize that you've met your person, that's how he felt the moment their eyes met. This story is unlike you've read; it tells of a man who's willing to go against all odds to be with the one he loves. Tony met Rora when they were in high school, she was his person, he tells us the story of them and takes back to all his good days and bad days with her. when she leaves with no explanation he doesn't give up on her like most would do, he becomes determined to find her, his missing piece. we look into life of a brokenhearted man whose love is strong but his determination to meet his love again is stronger. he has not forgotten the woman who he gave his heart to, the day he asked her to love him until her last breath. he meets her again years later but things aren't as rosy as he wishes they were. She's no longer the girl he knew before and she doesn't remember him at all. It's one that you would call a tragic love story, a heartbreaking tale of a love that could not be... they say true love can survive anything so the question is.... Can he really love her until his last breath?
