The trip is over. This ship is lost.
Is everyone out? Is everyone safe?
They have no idea. The authorities have left.
And so they must search. They must know. No one must suffer a fate in a watery grave.
With this in mind, deep into the belly of the beast they go.
This is a short story I've written in college. It is an experiment, a deviation from my comfort zone and undeniably different than what I typically write.
This short story isn't something I want to publish. It's an excercize; a short journey for me to write in a way that I traditionally don't.
At the core, this story is flawed by its predictable, cringey plot. It's me working with a modern style that's strange and foreign to me while I'm trying not to "Titanic" it at the same time. I would still love to know how folks feel about it in terms of style and diction. Enjoy a little desperation and a little love. Get out of it what you will.

The 'Groomed'
Completed!! -- I could hear him running behind me. "HELP!" I started to scream the words repeatedly. I felt like I was the stupid, helpless girl in a horror film. I ran right into a fence and fell down. I got back up and turned around. Blake was right there. He pinned me up against the wood. "You are so stupid!" He chuckled. He grabbed a bottle of some sort and smiled. "Nighty night." He whispered. He sprayed the substance all over me until I blacked out. -- 16 year old Cathy moves from a small Rhode Island town to the big Austin, Texas. When she starts her new school, Cliffside High, everyone despises her. They don't like the same music she does and they don't dress like her. She's an outcast in their book. But when she gets home, she goes to her favorite website and chats with people who love her. Who don't despise her. But, everything changes when a stranger starts to chat with her. He compliments her, makes her feel bubbly. She feels like he loves her, and she loves him. Then things get a little weird when he asks her personal questions. Not thinking twice, she answers all of them. Cathy feels guilty afterward, and never wants to talk to him again. But he wants to meet her. Little did she know his visit will be soon and blood curdling.Terminé
SPECTRE
Specter: This is a story I've been working on for awhile. I've seen many people talk about how bad their writing is. This just makes me cringe because they say this when they're just on their first draft. I decided to post the first draft of my story called Specter. This is purely just to give writers and idea what a first draft looks like. A confidence booster. Something to compare your writing to. The best writer never wrote a master piece on the first go. When you read this you'll say, this is good but needs to be worked on more. WARNING CONTAINS: Dead plot points that go nowhere, Cringe worthy dialogue, Characters that are not fleshed out, Weak characters, A rushed ending, A weak villain, Thin plot that has little meat Scenes that make you say, "Srsly?"Terminé
The Elite Dream
In my world you have to be one of the Elite. After graduating from 8th grade it is a shitshow. You wait long intense nights filled with fear because you know one day they will come for you. They will get you mark my words on that. One day you will be ripped away from the comforts of your own home and shipped away to the cruise. None of the adults speak of what happens on the cruise. I can tell based off of the haunted look in there eyes it's nothing good. I've heard tall tales of a place full of hopes and dreams. They call this place High school. High school is just that though...a dream. In the real world all we have is the cruise. The cruise where some never return from. In my world it is survival of the fittest. This is my Entry for the Open Novella Contest III. This goes with the writing prompt #53. This is the direction I chose to take it. Hope you all enjoy. Peep the cover I made it and for the first time it looks halfway decent thanks to @-voidallison tips and tricks.Terminé
Without a Pack and My Mate
This is something I created when I was going though some dark things in my life sorry some of it is mature content. This story is a time traveling story that goes from one point of view (POV) to the next and it also is about a young wolf finding his love and if she rejects him or not and then him going on a journey to find answers to his questions. While he is gone there is something that happens to his pack. If you like the story just tell me king the comments below or pm me if you don't want to embarrass a newbie to the writing wold like this but check out my other books and I'll try to upload more stories. If you don't like it no big deal I'll just keep my stories to myself and add some more chapters to the book. Thank you all so much, happy reading! This is the first insallment of three i am breaking this book down into Three because it has thrity chapters and I'm sure you guys dont want to read all thirty chapters in just one book so it will be easier on you guys and myself as well. Keep in mind that I'm just a beginner in this entire so if it stinks pm me and if you don't want to just comment what is wrong and I'll fix it. Thank you all for the support and I will continue if you would like me to. ~NicoleABKHR1 AKA WhiteFangXFallenDemonTerminé
Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Terminé
Run Away
I never thought he would do this. What happened to him? Goddammit, this is bullshit. I was stalked by my own best friend! This is a nightmare, even worse than nightmare. I'm so fucking stressed! "Surprise, babe!" he evil-smiled. "Tell me why are you doing this to me?!" I asked. "I see the future. Your future. I see you dating that dickhead. I tried to stop you but I have to act normal so you won't find out that I'm the creepy stranger you talked about and you won't know that I like you, my plan was a little bit messed up since you dated him. I failed to stop you. But now that I have both of you here, I can kill you easily," he explained. Did he just said "both of you"? Does that mean he kidnapped Austin? He's so messed up. I hate him. We've been best friends for 5 fucking years and now he's doing this to me? I swear he's mentally ill now. Ugh. "What do you mean both of us?" I asked. "Oh Claire, why don't you understand it? Didn't you saw anyone at the library? The place where Austin asked you to be his girlfriend?" he said. "No, I didn't go there," I said. "Well, let's take a look now, shall we?" he evil-smiled. ******** Hi guys, so this is my first story here. I don't think I'm a good writer so I apologize if this story doesn't make any sense or sounds really weird. At least I tried.Terminé

New Girl
"You dropped this." I heard a husky voice say. I turned around to look at what I dropped and realized it was my schedule. I gasped. Damn, I would have been fucked if I'd lost it. I guess I didn't put it in my bag... I looked up to thank him, but ended up not being able to find my voice. He's really attractive. Drop dead gorgeous attractive. Hot. He has brown hair that is spiked up in a messy way and shiny chocolate brown eyes that are hard not to stare at. His jawline was firm and he is extremely tall compared to my 5'3" height; he seems like he's 6'1". He looks in good shape -- the white shirt he was wearing showed off his broad muscular chest. He wore a leather-mans jacket from the school over the t-shirt, with black denim jeans, and converse. I swallowed. I snapped out of it and took the paper forcing myself to say "thanks." However, he walked away before I even finished. OK... he obviously isn't interested in the 'new girl' like all the other students are. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. Out of all the guys that have hit on me in school today he is the only one that has caught my eye -- bad news is that he didn't even bother. "You know him? I'm surprised the cheer-bitch hasn't threatened you yet." Jessica said, her face showing shock. "Um, no I don't know him... and cheer-bitch?" I frowned confused. "She's his ex-girlfriend, but considering she has such a small brain that is a size of a peanut, she won't leave him alone. I mean like seriously, EX; has she not heard of that quote, 'Thanks for the EXperience, Our time has EXpired, now EXit my life.' She is one clueless bimbo. Then again who would leave him alone he is S-E-X-Y!" I laughed. "I am going to love being your friend." I said while I looked back to where he had headed a while ago, but I no longer saw him. I sighed disappointed.Terminé
Glint and Precurse
Have you ever gotten the feeling that everything you do is for nothing? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, the world will always move on without you, whether you like it or not? Is it difficult to keep up in this current of events everyone else calls existence? Yeah... me neither... What? Do I have to put a meaningful and insightful description of the story? This is MY story, and I can do whatever the hell I want! It's funny how people just expect me to do things for them... Oh, you still aren't satisfied? If you are spending so much time reading this meaningless book description, why haven't you already started reading it? This is the kind of thing that bothers me about readers! They want people like me to practically spoil the entire story for them before they read it! Now, what it the point in that? So, taking into consideration the previous message, if you are still dying to get a taste of what this story revolves around, I might as well tell you. You have been oh-so-patient by reading all of this jibber-jabber that it would only be disrespectful for me not to give you a little information! Well... looks like I am just a really disrespectful person.Terminé
Before It Struck Midnight. *COMPLETE*
Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.Terminé
