Sweepings of the Street [EXCERPT] by amanda_denney_writes

Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past. As the city creeps towards winter, Sarah and her friends stand face-to-face with the horrors of London poverty-rising prices, rampant crime, disease, and hopelessness-and it becomes clear that not everyone will make it out alive. Everyone has a secret, and the consequences can be more devastating than any of them can imagine. "Dark, emotionally gripping, highly researched... very impressive."

As a child Elaine has always been taught to feel sympathy towards others. Being the only child of a highly respected social worker, Elaine always followed her mother everywhere. Watching her work with children to make their lives better. Now 16 years old, Elaine has seen more grief, anguish and pain in her 16 years of living than anyone. She is constantly looking for the good side in people and trying to fix and make everyone's lives better. 16 year old Devon has lived his entire life dealing with sorrow and pain. A result of a mistake and enduring 15 years of abuse because of it, he's learned to lock up his heart, waiting for the day he turns eighteen and would leave the home he'd been placed in. A meeting with Elaine who is so unlike the negative people he'd known during his lifetime leaves his heart slowly thawing. And as he's about to find out, sometimes the remedy to a frozen heart is Christmas, children, and a certain girl who finds a way to see the goodness he's long forgotten he had in himself.

Once Again (gxg) by Litttchick

Reunited and it feels so right... or does it? When Davin meets the high school's popular girl, Belle who just so happens to be her long-lost best friend from childhood, old feelings reignite. They were inseparable as kids, sharing secrets and dreams until they were separated when they were just 6 years old. Now, years later, they're reunited, and the connection remains strong. As they navigate their rekindled bond, they must confront the secrets of their past and the lingering shadows that have haunted them since childhood. The two girls must face the unfinished business of their youth and the sparks that still fly between them. Will their friendship be strong enough to overcome the obstacles and evolve into something more, or will the weight of their unspoken history tear them apart once again? This story might feel like a Cliché Netflix show teenage-drama but unlike some other Netflix shows, I'm actually trying to portray a message! Not just a weird rollercoaster of a story! This book is technically a "collection" or "anthology" It supposed 3 series connected to one another! This is my very first story. I'll get better at writing more though :)

"Because I could never imagine my life without you in it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You had everything you could've needed. Two loving fathers, a happy home, a job harvesting crops for your small village, everything was fine until you were taken into captivity as a test subject for the Rainbow Factory, a company that secretly used living and nonliving beings and drained the color out of them to create rainbows. All for the best, all hidden deep in a forest. After being in captivity for a few days, having seen enough, you decided to take a new route. You faced the head scientist himself, Dr. Walden Darling, and demanded life. "Join me, and you'll never have to worry about death again." You were given the chance to become the head scientist's assistant, and you immediately took the job if it meant saving your life. Working with Wally was no walk in the park, and just being in the factory drained you and killed you inside. So with hidden help, you decided to escape. And perhaps, one day, destroy the factory for good. ! TW: human test subjects, employee x boss relationship, moderate swearing, moderate intimacy, trauma, gore, violence, child death, suicide !
