A pile of short-short stories. These are designed to hook you in the minimal amount of words possible. Please study them to use the concept in your own writing. If aspiring writers would like to use them as inspiration for a short story then please do, but label them as fan fiction to save confusion between readers. I would like to use fan-fiction to guage how readers read my work and then improve my own style to make it more enjoyable.
This will also help me get back in the habit of writing, as I lost almost all of my work a few years ago and got depressed over it, thus stopping my writing.
Please do enjoy and give me plenty of negative feedback. Thanks :)

Shadows
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.Complete

Our Echoes in the Shadows
Love doesn't always follow the rules. Sometimes, it finds you in the most unexpected places-on a rooftop, in the rain, or in the quiet moments between heartbeats. This is the story of a love that defied time, age, and society. A love that was as forbidden as it was beautiful. He was 15 when they first met; she was 32, a woman of grace and mystery. Over the years, their connection deepened, a bond that neither could deny. But their love was a secret, hidden in stolen moments and whispered promises. As they navigated the complexities of their lives, they discovered that some flames burn too brightly to be extinguished-even if they must burn in the shadows. This is a tale of passion, longing, and the bittersweet beauty of a love that could never be. It's about the choices we make, the hearts we break, and the memories that stay with us forever. Welcome to a story where love is both the question and the answer."Complete

Hybrid: The Awakening
Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought.

After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy.

When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.Complete
Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

Blood Bath
You've always been in the background-watching, waiting-as she captured his heart effortlessly. No matter how much you treasured your friendship, no matter how much you told yourself it didn't hurt, the truth lingered like a cruel whisper: he never saw you. But you refuse to fade into the shadows any longer. Desperation turns to determination, and soon, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make him notice you-even if it means crossing lines you swore you never would. Even if it means losing the people who truly care about you. Because love isn't always patient. And sometimes, obsession is just another word for devotion. How far will you go before there's nothing left of the person you used to be?
