His Little Play Thing , de HanMarie66

ONGOING, SLOW UPDATES. Thank you for reading though! As a young girl you had always believed that monsters as they seemed, were always big creepy things, with sharp teeth and long claws. Piercing eyes and mouths wide enough to swallow you whole. But one thing you didn't realize is that, monsters aren't what you had always imagined them to be. They are real. And sometimes, they're a lot closer to you than you think. 18 year old Hana is forced into moving across the country to a foreign land, full of people she doesn't know, just for her father's business. She fears that she won't ever fit in, but that all changes when she comes across a mysterious boy, whom she can't seem to get enough of. Secrets are revealed, blood is shed and tears are cried but does Hana have what it takes to live this life she's been thrown into? Or will her depression swallow her whole as she fights to keep her head above water. "The mafia it seems is no place for a girl like you" "I'd rather die than be seen with the likes of you" "I can't! "I can't do this anymore. You lie you cheat you do everything in your power to make me not trust you! I've just found out you were using me and for what? To what end? Huh?" You scream into the boys face but he doesn't even flinch. His eyes still dark and stormy pools. "I trusted you. Maybe even loved you! What am I? Just a fucking toy to satisfy your musings?" You can't help but let a tear to slip down your flush cheek, allowing it to leave a warm traitorous trail down your face that cools and dries upon contact with the air around you. "Maybe that was the old me, but you aren't just a play thing now. You're my world"

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!

Summer of Death || [COMPLETED], de Echo_Rizz

In a city that never loved him, a broken soul searches for meaning in pills, lies, and petty crime. He needed money. He needed a way out. What he didn't need was to get stuck in a haunted bookstore with nothing but a relic of a book and the ghosts in his head. Diagnosed with ADHD and abandoned by trust, he's long since learned to trick, steal, and survive. But as hallucinations twist reality and memories return, he's forced to confront the pain he's run from. A ghost from his past urges him to change-but change doesn't come easy. After days trapped in madness, the door opens. He's free... but not unchanged. Hallucinations become memories, and a visit from a long-lost friend pushes him toward something unfamiliar: hope. When the lock finally breaks, he's still chaotic, still rough-but a sliver of warmth begins to grow, especially toward the brother he swore he didn't care for. --------------------------------------------------------------- !!
