The foghorns blew loudly in the distance, vibrations trickled across the stagnate pools of water creasing onto the shore. Fish jumped up out of the water hoping to get a glimpse of the upside world. Flying fish flew uphead accompanied by the ominous flick of an electric eel every so often. The ocean was so beautiful, but so was land, the books, the flowers, the lights! Things you couldn't get underwater.
Cala Maria longed for a book of some kind from above that was filled with knowledge , and maybe even a light to guide her through the dark ocean waters that linger below the surface. Maybe even a flower, only the most beautiful will do she thought. Her elbows rested upon the planks of wood on an old ship wreak. Sometimes she'd come here to gaze at the carnival lights from far away, the shined so bright. Of course there were lights by the dock but they weren't as luminescent as the ones ever so far.
Closer to the ship wreak was if course the casino, its lights of course not as luminous; instead they right of cursed souls and flickering lights. Just because her contract was destroyed, doesn't mean they were out of business, hoping to collect more contracts to not only make up for what they lost, but to repair the reputation that had been damaged. Two young fellows knocked the devil and his lackey back into their place. Cala Maria doubted the Devil would ambush them again without a strong plan, if at all.
(Years after the events of Cuphead)
DOES NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME TIMELINE AS THE CARNABERG STORY!

Synopsis time: In Sintang Borneo a new Host Lara Michaels who's doing a documentary on the wildlife of Southeast Asia. One of the last animals in the documentary is a river dolphin that has moved deep in the Kapuas river. Problem is the river has been getting hit by crazy storms and every other riverboat captain says "There's no one dumb enough to battle the Kapuas in the wet season with the extreme weather and come back alive." No one except for a Canadian fisherman and riverboat Captain, John 'Buck' Benson. With no other option she tracks down the her last option, a man most known for being a 'sarcastic cockroach' and getting into bar fights. Story time: I've been writing for a few years and I am by no means a good writer. My strengths are telling a story and making characters. I've only worked in either horror and action. Now the reason I'm writing a short romance story is very simple. While watching this years Hallmark Christmas movies with my mates I made a bet that I could write a better short romance story in a day, and have a better romance even with a short deadline and a short stories length to build the characters. At first I was going to do it all in one big sitting but after my first attempt in 3:33:12 sucked I started completely over and have been doing this over a few days while keeping track of a 24 hour timer. This will also be the first story on here because Instead of just keeping this thing with me and my mates why not share to the world what a mediocre writer of horror/action can write in 24 hours in a genre he's never done before. At first it seemed like I would have been able to finish with maybe a little less time to edit but enough to still be thorough. Turns out I had enough time to make sure everything was spelt rightish. I still haven't read it over and wont until its posted so there's probably an awkward 180 from one of the few times I changed the story and forgot to go back and fix it... Sooo enjoy.Complete

The Vampires Onboard
"We can't even be seen together like this," Clara whispers. "I don't care," I say.

Narnia's Shadow // Peter Pevensie
She was a girl from inside the wardrobe. He was a boy from outside the wardrobe. ~~~~ "You're joking?" I scoff. "These are the Prophecy?" I pointed at the three children standing beside them. It was like an inside joke that wasn't even laughable. "Yes, sweetheart! You cannot deny the coincidence that is happening all around us." Mrs. Beaver explained. Her motherly tone brought me some reassurance. I nodded reluctantly, glancing at the three children standing awkwardly. "So much for a Prophecy." ~~~~ "Is Aslan really your father?" Lucy asked me. I smirked in amusement as she sat down beside me at the river. "Is that what everyone keeps telling you?" Lucy nodded innocently. It was adorable how her cheeks redden in embarrassment. "No," I answered, "he isn't my father by blood but I like to think of him as one." I turn to the flowing river, watching as the tiny fishes jump every now and then out of the water. "He raised me, saved me from dying. I never knew my parents. Don't know if they're looking for me or continuing on with their lives like nothing is missing." I shrugged hoping to fool anyone who thought otherwise. If I put my guard up maybe no one will notice. ~~~~ "A King is never a King without his Queen by his side." A voice said from behind me. I smiled at his attempt of trying to woe me. "Oh?" I didn't need to take a look to know that he was already next to me. His warmth radiated to me like a magnet. "So, why is everyone calling me 'King' when my Queen is out here?" Peter said. I whipped my head over at him, baffled at his confidence. He smirked making me swoon for him even more. Especially, the way the setting sun shinned against his dirty blande hair and his blue eyes glowed even brighter. ~~~~ The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe {P.

The Adventures of Cuphead and Mugman!
This is a retelling of the hit indie game "Cuphead". It tells the story of Cuphead and Mugman, two brothers who live in the mystical Inkwell Isles. While exploring, the boys stumble upon the Devil's Casino. They have a good run of luck, but then the Devil himself shows up and strikes them a deal: if they win, they get the whole casino, but if they lose, the Devil takes their souls. Cuphead blindly accepts--and loses! The Devil takes pity on the poor mugs and gives them a task: collect the soul contracts of his debtors in two days. Will they collect all the souls in time, or will the Devil take their own?! The Delicious Last Course takes place a week after the rest of the series. The Legendary Chalice, who prefers to be called Alice Chalice, takes our cup boys to her home, the mysterious DLC Island. One of her friends, Chef Saltbaker, has come up with a recipe for a Wondertart that'll turn Alice corporeal again, and she needs their help getting the ingredients from some fearsome foes. Will they be able to get the ingredients and make the Wondertart? Sure, you might have heard this story before if you've played the game, but I'm trying to put my own spin on this, y'know, fleshing out the plot and characters more. I really enjoy writing this, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I do not own Cuphead, only this interpretation of it and the character Candy Camera. Cover art by DeviantArt user thatonegalaxygirl. I have also borrowed a few lines from Indeimaus, Slimecicle, Vine, and tamago2474, among other places.Complete

How To Get Away With Murder
She looks...there are no words. Her clothe-less body lays stiff on a metal slab, and her head moving back and forth. I could stare at this all day, but I can't. I know it's wrong. And, she would hate me after this. I roughly turn my head away, then I hear a groan. I snap my head to her direction. She groans again. "Oh God...my head..." She sits up, but instantly falls down. Probably a head rush. "Skye?" I call her name, softly. I don't want her to feel alone and frightened. "Who's there?" Her pearly voice commands. Ever since we've been thrown in here, my love for her grew. I can physically see my love in the air, just waiting for her to inhale it. "It's just me, Luke." She gasps and a million things come out of her mouth,"Luke!? Are you ok? Where are we? What happened? Wheres Tristan? And Mr. Parker-" "Just open your eyes, princess." Princess? Where the fuck did that come from? Oh well, I like it anyways. "Shit."she curses when her eyes are open,"Luke! What the hell is going on!?" "I don't know, Princess, but don't shout. It echos." I hold my head, trying to subside the pain tht now grows. "Mr. Parker is staring at me." I throw my fist against the metal bar I'm contained against,"Mr Parker!? He's there with you? Cover yourself, dear." "Figured that out already. Thanks for your help." I could imagine her rolling her eyes. "I'm here as a friend, not a foe. Though you do look ravishing, might I add?" Mr. Parker states. "What do you mean friend not a foe? I'm pretty sure you're the big enemy here." She tightens her hold on herself. He sighed,"Maybe so, but do you want to know where your friend is or not?" "Yes, please." She begged. "No! Skye! Don' make deals with him!" I yell. I know exactly where this is leading. I could feel her gaze burning in my direction, though I'm 99.99% sure she can't see me"What do you want, Mr Parker?" He sighed, like it was obvious. Well, it was for me,"Give me yourself, and you get your friend. Oh, and I'll let you go.Complete
