Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland).  

Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several  of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones?  The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree.   

Examples of ways in which reality has branched:  What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them?  What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company?  What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me?  What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school?   What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?All Rights Reserved

Christmas Wonder (RotG) by CaetlynoftheStars

Christmas isn't the same for you as it was when you were a child. Not as magical, very anticlimactic. You long to get back the Christmas magic you had as a kid-the joy of childhood-and have been trying your best to. Unexpectedly, Santa (North) knocks on your door and offers to help you get your Christmas wonder back, as he does with chosen adults every year, by letting you help deliver Christmas this holiday season. You accept the offer. But as you get into Christmas preparation, you discover that delivering Christmas and getting your wonder back is going to be much harder than you thought. (This is a romance-free reader-insert.) *I also upload this story on Quotev, DeviantArt, and ArchiveofOurOwn under the same username. *This story has 14 chapters, and I will be uploading them all before Christmas. I will upload seven today (December 23rd CST) and seven tomorrow (December 24th CST), posting about one per hour, unless other responsibilities come up and I have to take a break and upload at a later time that day. If it becomes late enough, I may post multiple chapters at once. I will do this until all the according day's chapters are posted. *Merry Christmas!

Mistletoe by siLv3ryG0ld

One sentence can change everything. Furthermore one sentence can determine your role. Friend? Or stranger? May made a mistake in her 2nd year of middle school. She accidentally told Drew something she shouldn't have. And then she lied to him, causing him to change into the man he is now. They are now in highshcool. But they are farther apart than the Sun and Earth. Their paths haven't crossed since then...and it seems like, they will never cross again. But some people just wouldn't let it end there. So what now? {completed and currently under construction for grammar mistakes/errors and need of revising and editing. Still alright to read tho ;)}

My Old Primary School Stories by HaroldsGreed

Just a mash up of most of my old primary school short stories that we wrote in class, plus a couple extra that I wrote at home that I was super proud of. These all kinda suck because I was young and dumb. I am going to edit the stories to make them make sense, but I will try and keep the primary school vibe in there :) TW: Mentions cutting, but has nothing to do with SH Start Date: 20 February 2023 Finished Date: 16 September 2024 Word Count: 12,558 Ranked: #1 in gradesix (23/03/23) #9 in primaryschool (07/10/23) #50 in prep (07/10/23)

Thirteen Points of Light by SteveJBWO

After a night on the town, Sarah wakes up to a miserable hangover. But it's nothing compared to what comes next. After attempting to light a cigarette, she feels that something isn't quite right. Soon she'll discover that everything is very wrong. My entry in the Open Novella Contest III, Feb 2020. April 28. Just got the news that Thirteen Points has made it through the second round. Now I have to finish by May 5th. I'm not as far along as I had hoped at this point, but I'm sure I can make it. May 4th. 12:10 am. Finished. Submitted. Good night. May 20th. Well, 13 Points made the Long List. I have no idea how many original entries there were but about 940 made the first cut. There's 150 on the Long List. Not bad for my first time out. Now we'll wait and see how we fare on the Short List. May 30th. Well, Sarah and company didn't make the Short List. I can't say I'm disappointed though. This was my first attempt at this type of writing . Thanks for reading and voting. Now back to Short Story writing If you are also in the ONC, Good Luck and have fun!

Lucky! by Emrys_Noah

Quote Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect. Now where to begin? I'm Enid Lloyd. I have a sister and two loving parents, note my sarcasm. My parents never showed any care or love my way. They were always addicted to Esme, my older sister. As usual, we took a trip to our hometown, London for the winter. I didn't expect it to turn out like that. Really, I didn't expect it!
