countdown dahlia death different differentdimensions dying dystopian happy imperfect janeetsn love magic mystery mystique parentalguidance perceptions sad short shortstory story suspense timer world

I know exactly when I'm going to die. The exact date, time, and even where. And I'm not the only one. Everyone I know are assigned a death date from the moment their born. Everyone.  And the thing is, I don't want to die.

(Excerpt)

In my world, names are an important thing. It tells people who you are. No one will think of you as anything but this name. It holds your reputation, your status. It's everything to you. And it's something special for others to know. So I wonder, how come everyone knew my mom's?

Soon she'll discover that everything is very wrong. My entry in the Open Novella Contest III, Feb 2020. April 28. Just got the news that Thirteen Points has made it through the second round.

Catastrophically Carla (Lesbian Story) by xpaaulettex

Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.

Noah (Obsessions in Overdrive #1) by MarcelinePierson

I've always had a feeling that I would die young. Ever since I started pondering on deaths door I've had this feeling. I could care less about the hell and heaven shenanigans, but death. I want it. The end of my life. I want to be in my suit, in my coffin, in the ground and my soul to be gone. I've been waiting for 16 years, yet no sign of death opening his door no matter how many times I ring his doorbell. Yeah, I enjoy thinking about my end. Especially at moments like this... *** #1 physical #1 cuteguys #1 addiction #2 self-esteem *** Started: 7 November 2022 Finished: 18 April 2024

The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed] by RAIR1234

Living in a world where everyone has expiration dates on their arms telling them when they will die...sounds like a fun place to live in, right? Wrong it's the worst, always knowing when you'll die, but this is how they still stay in power the Ministry. The Ministry even gives powers to the people so they'll stay on their side, and stay in Enchanville. I'm Isa who've been living in a foster home for most of my life. I never thought my life could get any more exciting until the day I got my powers. There was a prophesy or so I've heard, about this person who will finally beat the Ministry. I knew I would never live to see that day, but that doesn't mean I don't have hope that it will happen.... Then my life took an unexpected turn that turned my life upside down...or right side up. *This is the first book I have ever written so the grammar and the punctuation isn't the best, but it gets better throughout the book :-) * Started February 5, 2016

America the Unknown (United States of America #3) by 37054ljH

2019 NEW YEAR SPECIAL! You know about America and her children, the United States of America. You know of their stories, their lives, their tribulations, their scars, and their various secrets...or so you'd like to think. Sometimes there are scars that can run so deep that even the victim can never know, sometimes events can cause people to rewrite their memories to save themselves from the pain of those painful recollections, and sometimes...it's best to never remember them. The family had lost a lot more than you think, a lot more than they would like to admit, and a lot more than their mother could handle. So, have you heard of the Failed Colonies? No? Then let's dive into the dark secrets that America has tried so hard to keep buried. *Rated M for suggestive themes, references of violence, sexual themes, and alcohol and drug references.* *Also, please be warned that this short story will contain sensitive subjects such as infant mortality, depression, and suicidal thoughts/ideations, which will be described in full detail and are not meant to be jokes, so please do not proceed if these themes are going to be a problem. This is also going to be dedicated to those who lost children and/or other loved ones.*

Out of Time || j.m. by TWareLovely

"I'm sorry, James. The tests were positive. You have cancer," the doctor said. In that moment, I felt my entire world crumble. Everything I knew, everything I loved, I would have to say goodbye to. How was this even fair? I'm 23 years old, I haven't lived yet, haven't experienced much, and yet I was going to die. I might have just given up completely if it wasn't for her. She is the only reason I am still alive, yet she can't know of my disease. She can't know anything. I just have to pretend that everything is going to be okay before I have to say goodbye, before I run out of time.

The 12 Elementals by just-A_potato

Yet again Darkness is hungry for a war to end it all, but Light will always have troops at the ready. One girl. One kingdom. Eleven friends. Four Elements. No biggie. * I'm Melody, hybrid freak, nice to meet you, strange muggle who I know nothing about. I used to be like you, cluelessly ignorant and uninvolved with the outside world. You know, they have a big, yellow ball of gas in the sky. Weird. Anyway my life became something out of a bad Si-Fi movie, and no, Nicolas Cage isn't in it (sadly). There are two forces in the world, Light and Darkness, and when you side with Light, Darkness gets a stick up its ass and wants you to suffer. My friends and I, we roll with Light, you must know where that leads.... I have a kingdom to learn, powers to master, loud friends to keep in line, a boy that I'm messed up over, and above it all, Darkness to show whose boss. Not as easy as you might think, but this is MY story, and I know how it ends. Being a loyal follower of Light shows me the beauty in life and the devastation it can cause. Don't get me wrong, I love Light, but Darkness makes it hard to stay and fight. * Melody is weird. She's childish. She's awkward. And she's got boy issues she needs to work out. Mel will face evil like no other, but can she do it? Will the scales of Light and Darkness finally be tipped? How can one girl make a difference? This is Melody, a corky teenager, and she wants you to read her story. Like now. Enjoy! Highest rank- #69 in Fantasy (Still cant believe it!!)

NEVER INTENDING ON FINISHING THIS! THIS IS JUST TO LOOK BACK ANG CRINGE SO GO AHEAD BUT BE NICE TO 13 YEAR OLD ME LOL revamping for funsies What happens when we die? Do we go to heaven or hell? Or do we just aimlessly wander the Earth, and watch it die ever so slowly? Or do we go to the world of our desires? The very world we wished to be when we felt like we didn't belong here on Earth. The very world that we read, or fantasized about for hours on end. The world that we wish were real. Well, what if that world were real, and we do go to that world when we die. What world would you go to? Would it be a land filled with magic and magical beast in it or a would it be filled with Greek gods and their offspring or a world where only 37 kids were born with powers and you were unfortunate enough to be one, or a world filled with ninjas. My world is a world where 80% of the population has powers, weather they are used for good or bad, weather they are usefull or useless. In this world, I am the adopted daughter of the strongest person, the symbol of peace. This world has became my home when I lost my first. Come along with me as I run into a few old friends and make some new ones along the way. My name is Athena, Angel hero Nénuphars, come with on my journey to becoming the very best hero I could be.
