It was supposed to be fun. A cruise into the Caribbean. A way to get some much needed sun and relaxation. And, in fairness, it was. The ship was exactly as promised, and the luxuries were nothing to shake a stick at. It was exactly the way you imagined.
Of course, that was before the storm. And the shipwreck that forced you to swim to the shore of a foreboding island that seems devoid of human contact, save for the other survivors. The wildlife is hostile to you, the water unsafe, the plants toxic. It seems like the entire island hates the presence of intruders--and there's something dark deep in the heart of the jungle.
Fun nothing. This vacation might not be something you survive.

Ocean Protocol
When strangers win a luxury cruise that turns out to be a deadly series of survival games, two morally grey contestants must rely on each other to endure the challenges, until the final round forces them to choose between survival and betrayal. A dream vacation. A once-in-a-lifetime lottery. A hundred lucky winners. Roxy can hardly believe her name was chosen. A luxury cruise, thousands of dollars promised to every passenger, and the chance to win even more. It feels too good to be true. For Charlie, it's just another scam dressed up in glitter. He doesn't care about the views, the shows, or the champagne bars. All he cares about is paying off his debts and walking away richer than he came. But when the ship sets sail, paradise quickly unravels. The "exclusive cruise experience" is nothing more than a trap - a series of brutal survival games designed to strip away compassion, trust, and humanity one challenge at a time. There are no safe bets, no happy endings. Just the promise that only one will walk away alive. Forced into a fragile alliance, Roxy and Charlie must navigate not only the deadly trials, but each other - her stubborn hope against his ruthless pragmatism. Every round forces new sacrifices, and every decision has a price. On this cruise, survival isn't just about strength. It's about what you're willing to lose. Story written by Miley The Butterfly and StevefromLatvia, it is a co-work. We'll warn you now: This story has a lot of things. What it doesn't have is a happy ending.

The Shack
I watched as my last chance of escape was knocked from my hand and slid under my bed. My last bit of hope to break from this candy coated nightmare, slipped from reach. My right arm was then violently twisted and pushed behind my back. I yelped in pain. His sweaty palm covered my mouth, muffling my cries. New tears sprung in my eyes. My vision became blurry. That familiar feeling of dread crept up my spine. It warned me, but did I listen? He knelt behind me, pushing my arm further behind. "I'm not losing you... again," he whispered in my ear. His deep voice, laced with venom, lust, and desperation. The hairs on the back of my neck rose up. That's it. That's the end. No new beginning. No end. No hope. No life. Just emptiness. Just that vague emptiness. I'm sinking. And you can't save me. A story inspired by @shelbytreeComplete

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
