SEDUCTION BY DEATH |English Version|
Death has been following me since the day I was born. You are losing loved ones. You're losing friends. It's scary when you start to lose yourself. Loneliness has never been easy for me. No matter how many people surround me, I am alone. One on one with your fears, experiences and breakdowns in life, when everything goes awry. I never thought that I would be able to find a sense of belonging again, until he did. A handsome devil in a suit from Brioni. Now all his attention is directed at me, he gets under my skin and I happily accept his sweet torture. It's hard to resist the inevitable, especially when you share one heart. He stole my heart, and in return I took his. Attention! The text is intended for persons over 18+. The text contains scenes of an open sexual nature, obscene language, murder, violence, death. Before you start reading, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the introductory fragment and read the annotation. We strongly do not recommend following the plot and bringing any scenes of violence to life. All characters and stories are completely fictional and have nothing in common with the real world. If, however, this message did not make you stop and close this book, then welcome to the dark side. "Can you be my good girl...?" Tropes: 🖤 Dark romance 🖤 Mafia 🖤 Stalking 🖤 Obsessed MMC x morally grey 🖤 Strong FMC 🖤 Rivals 🖤 Dark secrets Kink 🖤 Knife play 🖤 Breath play 🖤 "good girl" x lots of praise 🖤 A lot of spicy 🥵🔥

Unforgiven Dreams ✔️
[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?" "No, Sophie, you're the Dream Maker." _______________________ Sophie Hazelwood, sixteen, just makes it in the world with her confident aura and weird humour. All she wants is to be a singer and move over her past, however hard that might be. But she's not completely aware of what she's capable of. Meet Keith, new boy with a hot bod who changes her life in ways that could have never been foreseen. Join her in this journey as she fights off mythical beings, braving through broken trusts and shattered hearts.

A Story By Chance
A new adventure awaits to those patient enough. But what about living the book you're reading? What about saving the world? A world? A life? What about learning magic? What about meeting a dragonness and talking mouse? What about dancing in a masquerade held only once every year? What about saving your best friend? And exploring the farthest confines of the Galaxy? What about living on a comet? On the Moon? On a futuristic world? Welcome to this new adventure, where each short story is based on nine random images. They might all seem disconnected at first, but are they really? I guess you'll get to find out along with me...

30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge
This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018Complete
