A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to write a short story and asked what genre I should write. The suggestions were, Gothic, with Magic, Paranormal and Horror.
This is my attempt at all the above. Except maybe horror. I don't think I managed to get too much horror in this, apart from the heroine's Aunt Helen.

Short stories
I begun writing those stories a long time ago. This is a compilation of short stories I've been working on since my college years, when I was in class. Most of the time, I've got my inspiration at any time during the day. Hope you'll find some of them good. Enjoy!
Going Nowhere
My name is Hibiscus Brown, my best friend is a unicorn and my life is going absolutely nowhere. Oh, and I'm a witch. At least partly - the rest is all werewolf. After growling a little to loudly, Hibiscus, Kitty, Brown finds herself in the unfortunate situation of having to move back home to live with her dad /the werewolf/, her step-mom /the werebear/, and all the other creatures living in a small town called Nowhere. Surely it's just temporary? Surely even a half-witch/half-werewolf can figure out what she wants to do with her life? Surely the handsome werewolf who just moved back will ignore her, like he /mostly/ did when they were in high school? And surely the mysterious dark stranger who seems to pop up just about everywhere will help her when she needs it? So many questions... let's see if we can bring some clarity to it all, shall we? *** NOTE *** There will be f-bombs. And references to s-e-x. Nothing graphic because it's not my style, but there certainly will be shit that isn't super appropriate for a younger audience. You have been warned. © lenanorth All the words are mine.

The Righteous Perish
This isn't my first full-length work (longer than short-story), yet the only one I find decent. I began writing it in 2019. As always, the characters' biases do not reflect my own. That being said, I'm still young. (Try to) enjoy!Complete
Your will be done

Creative Writing Shorts
So, I have a best friend who is basically my sister. She now has Wattpad and has DEMANDED that I put my Creative Writing Prompts/Shorts/To Be Continued stories on here. She thinks that there needs to be full out books growing from these in the future. (We shall see, sis! We shall see) These do not align with my fanfiction fandoms that I write about, but my own creative mind in twisted originality. Unless it sounds way similar to someone's else's work than it is not my intention. I HATE PLAGIARISM, so there's no reason to judge my work. Tell me your thoughts in the comments!
