Late one night, Zoë awoke to strange sounds in her uncle's farmhouse. Assuming it was burglars that caused the noise, Zoë escaped through the window of her room and raced to the nearest police station to find help. But things were not at all as it seemed...
This short story (or should I say super short story) is designed in such a way that it consists only of two chapters. I also kept the chapters quite short (about 500 words each) to make it fast to read. Because of this, Moonlight is the perfect short story to read in those useless gaps of time between appointments and activities. Please try it out, it won't take you more than 10 minutes to read and give it a vote if you enjoyed it!
Reviews:
I love how the first chapter was very haunting. I have never read a short story like this one. Good job! ~TockAC
This was really good! I was intrigued the entire time and was left wanting more once I finished. ~leannamattos

A geneticist looking for the perfect solution, a biologist searching for the ultimate cure, a scholar pursuing the path of happiness. Three young lives with noble intentions who chose to follow the way of kindness for different reasons. Yet, kindness can take many forms. For some, kindness is found in the small, fleeting acts of goodness, a reminder of the pure, social nature of every precious human. For others, kindness is found in ensuring the best possible future for the incoming generations, even if it means crushing the present between the hands of progress. For the rarest of minds, however, kindness implies destruction, the sacrifice of everything for the sake of a brand new better world. Will they encounter change their mind? Will they accomplish their mission? Will they regret the choices they have made so far?

Mallory never expected her summer to turn into a full-blown mystery. One moment, she and her best friend Max were climbing trees and dodging homework, and the next-they were unraveling a secret hidden in her own home. It all starts with a strange noise in the middle of the night, an object that vanishes without a trace, and a path that leads to nowhere. Then, there's Elliot-the new guy with a past he won't talk about. He's quiet, a little too mysterious, and just when Mallory starts trusting him, the clues point right to his doorstep. Can she believe him, or is he leading her straight into danger? As Max and Mallory dig deeper, they uncover a secret room, a locked safe, and a blueprint that suggests someone has been planning something big-something that could ruin lives. But before they can put all the pieces together, the door slams shut behind them. Trapped. In the dark. And they aren't alone. Someone has been watching them. Someone who knows exactly what they've found. And they're willing to do anything to keep the truth buried. Time is running out. The thief isn't just invisible-they're always one step ahead.

Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology
This is a rough first draft Part 1/Book One-ish currently not available and in the professional editing stage for publishing. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: (new blurb coming soon) They are fated, but it's complicated. He would give anything to have her, except her life. She would give anything to have him, including her life.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete
