**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST LONG LIST ENTRANT**

Passion can be your distraction,
Success can be your fall,
But to have neither is to be broken,
It's better not to love at all.

-:-:-:-

My name is Jane.
I have only one goal:
To succeed.

And yet as I watched my world burn,
I didn't fetch the water;
I fueled it further.

It caused me pain,
But I created it;
So I stood by it.

Little did I know,
I had to accept the truth;
that I had failed.

-:-:-:-

"... This is hell,
   but I planned it, I sawed it,
I nailed it, and I
   will live in it until it kills me."

- ALAN DUGAN
  "Love Song: I and Thou"

Blackout. [COMPLETED] by evemaym

A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.

Tomorrow [Ethan Dolan fanfic]//COMPLETED by ohitsrebecca

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] "Why did you do this yesterday, young lady?" "Countless reasons to do it but not a single reason not to..." "But, have you ever taken the time to focus on that "single reason not to do it" instead of coming up with reasons to do it?" "Well, I don't really think so-" "Tomorrow can always be a better day". I'm not going to lie though, as much as I hate being interrupted, I smiled at some point when I heard those words. That must be a fake smile for sure.

A girl willing for her broken pieces to be mended. But even if they all hate me, and rightly so, I'll never be able to say how sorry I am. And you'll never know either. **** Heather Morrison is a girl worth many words, but none are ever spoken. With a regret as deep as an ocean, Heather finds comfort among nothing.

If You Love Me by slybatspidow

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Ungodly Hour | d.e. by lisha-stories

Success doesn't equate happiness. I've had to learn that the hard way over the years. With every disappointment, every let down, every heartbreak, my solution was to just achieve something. Gain a new award, a higher accolade, a bigger position. The distractions only work temporarily, but once it dies down you realize that you're left with just you. You realize that you're still alone, still a failure in other aspects of life, and still hiding from the past. My name is Brynn. I got married at nineteen to my college sweetheart, and at the age of twenty four I found myself packing up and leaving him in the middle of the night. During that ungodly hour is when everything starts to hit you, when everything begins to resurface. My husband never attempted to come after me, never even attempted to reach out to me. Yet I still find myself going to sleep with him on my mind. I can still feel his touch if I dream hard enough. I still find myself keeping up with his social media, following his life from a distance. Only in that ungodly hour do I let my fantasies roam free and allow myself to miss him. I allow myself to still love him, still care for him. As long as I know that once morning hits it's back to business, back to being distracted, and back to being alone.

Fix My Heart ( A Robert Downey Jr. Fanfic ) by mjf004

*Completed* - Do you do this? Do you kill yourself slowly by keeping gray clouds of thoughts and feelings live inside you? Do you torture yourself by falling for someone that has no desire to be yours but you keep on doing it anyways? Because I do and I do get the burning feelings in my chest too, I can feel the battles and wars in my bones when I see him because I fell for him, I fell for someone who taught me how to live again. Someone who raged storms in my heart but calmed the rough seas in me at the same time. But I'm a machine in the eyes of the people anyways, I'm not a human being I just sing on the biggest stages, win awards and entertain the people. Why would you care how I felt? 'A/N: Some actors in the story may have different ages and story backgrounds from real life, and the story needs editing i know just gimme a break lol'
