You put it on, it tortures you into madness, you beg for death. Then it kills you. Handed down for centuries, no one would suspect the pentagon shaped ring with its bright pink garnets and opal to be the killer of hundreds of people. Nadia is a quiet teenage girl with a seemingly ordinary life. One day she stumbles on a secret diary belonging to a detective who tried to break the curse of the Pentagona Ring, but was killed in the process. Passing it off as a fake, the police don't link this diary to the sudden, unusual deaths occurring in the nearby villages. But when one of Nadia's best friends is killed suddenly she realises she's facing something far more sinister. When she discovers that she was wearing the ring Nadia is determined to solve the mystery. Over the next few days Nadia feels the curse in the ring trying to lure her and she knows she has to destroy it. But will she have the strength to do it? NOTE: Cover photo is mine This story is inspired by a ring I actually own (pictured), which I bought as a little girl in a second hand market. It was very captivating to me and I always wondered where it had come from. I used to get nightmares and fantastical dreams about it so I thought I would finally write a story about it.

ONC entry for 2024. Prompt 49: Being a superhero is just too boring. Let's be a villain! 15-years-old Marissa Everstar makes a Faustian bargain to receive superpowers, in the hope they will make her famous. But when being a superhero turns out to mainly involve boring work that does not get her the immediate popularity she craves, she shifts gears and becomes a villain. Trigger warning: contains descriptions of physical and emotional abuse, blood and gore. Excerpt from chapter 2: I carefully begin pouring the white powder onto the floor, drawing a large pentagram. I spend a lot of time on the intricate details, making sure everything is perfect. The summoning circle quite small, but it will have to do. I clap my hands twice and hear a soul-crushing scream that appears to pierce my body to its core. Hearing the sound fills my stomach with butterflies and gives me a fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard a single sound in almost a year. Following the scream, a shadowy figure emerges. He appears deep black, littered with stars, as if a human-like shape has been carved out of the universe, but also strangely transparent, as if made of glass. His long arms end in clawed fingers, and his ears and horns are goat-like in appearance. On his back are two bat-like wings. He speaks in a deep voice-the only one I've heard in a long time. "Mortal, why have you awoken me from my slumber?"
