This is the short story version. When I was in 7th grade, my English teacher assigned us to write a short 3 page story. One that was supposed to be about a family traveling to America as immigrants but without copying Titanic. Easy enough for someone that loves to write. I told myself for years that I would make an extended version of the story. Considering that was back in 2003 I said this and I'm only just trying to start it now.

Here is the short story I wrote back in 2003 and eventually I'll be making the extended version available for purchase on Amazon as a kindle eBook and paperback. The extended version will be a full length chapter book with lots more details and events.

The time frame is 1952. Not long after WWII. The Hinkök family lived in England. They were being fallowed by a strange guy because they knew information he wanted related to the husband who he originally killed for not giving him the said information. They got tired of being fallowed so they boarded a ship for America. They had to stay in 3rd class. They had 2 kids that got into a lot of mischief on the ship during the 1 month trip. Experience all the excitement with the Hinkök's.

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
88 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
