During the midst of WWII, a 14 year-old French-African Jewish girl named Sabine escapes the French concentration camp, Natzweiler-Struthof. While she's outrunning the Nazis close on her heels, she stumbles across a magical box of matches that transports her across the war. 

From war-strewn battlefields to places that look all too familiar, the matches teach Sabine to reignite the fire within her to save the ones she left behind.

My Name Is Naomi by gingerbread250

In Germany, Wolfgang Braun is forced to join the Nazis. He isn't sure he believes anything Hitler is doing is good, but he doesn't have a choice. When the most powerful man in the country enlists your help, you don't turn him down. So what happens when he finds a young Jewish girl hiding in the rubble? Does he take her to a concentration camp or kill her? Or does he help her escape to freedom? Naomi Adler is an eighteen year old Jewish girl in the middle of an age of terror, the Holocaust. Her family has already been taken away, but by some sort of fortune, she was saved. Can she make it safely to America, as her family had planned, or will she be found out before then? Her world turns upside down when she meets David Lee who in 1918, WWI, was drafted into the United States Army, just like his father and brother. He was a driver, transporting men, food, and supplies when needed, risking his life to support them on the battlegrounds

Over the Rainbow by SteveJBWO

This started as an entry for the Open Novella Contest, 2022. Unfortunately, I was having some medical difficulties (which I won't bore you with) and felt I needed to drop out after the first deadline. Shortly after taking up the story again, I realized that I was writing the same characters as those in my previous entry (ONC 2020), Thirteen Points of Light. So I did some quick editing and continued the story of Sarah and her box of magic matches. I'm trying really hard to make this a stand-alone story, but because I know the original story so well, I'm not entirely sure this one stands by itself. If you haven't yet, you may want to start with Thirteen Points and read them together as a single story. The story (this time around): Jared and Crystal's relationship is getting rocky. Just how rocky? They'll find out when Sarah enters their lives with her stories of travels through time and space, dreams, nightmares and her desire to get home. Please, enjoy.

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!

LONG LISTER IN THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2019! A/n This story does not strictly take place in the timeline of Star Trek:The Original Series or the recent movie reboots. Occurrences from both may be referenced. Whether you prefer to picture the original cast and practical effects, or the new actors with CGI, or some combination of the two, I hope you enjoy the story. This is just a simple fan fiction written for the Open Novella Contest 2019. If you see this story anywhere besides Wattpad please make me aware. This is the only place I post stories. I don't have multiple accounts on this site, so this is the only profile this story should be posted on. Thank you, readers. I don't not own Star Trek or its characters.
