One House Behind | ✓
Shelly had a somewhat normal life growing up. She had friends, the occasional fake ones, good grades that didn't go lower than a D nor higher than a C, and a mediocre loving family. Everything changes when a flu-like illness erupts in the middle of her junior year. A moving truck, a boy named Tanner, and a fence. Three things that counteract what the illness has done to her life. Only thing is, she doesn't know if she can fancy her thoughts about him. With a fence that's between them and imagination at first, she talks to the mystery boy Tanner and finds herself not being the only one who's losing it in the midst of the illness. *Short story* *Dual viewpoint* |Start date: 8/27/2020| |End Date: 9/18/2020| 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 © 2020, 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐞 Small Achievemens: #1 Teenfriends 8/30/2020 #12 easyreads 9/2/2020 #10 easyreads 9/4/2020 1k reads 10/1/2021Complete

Tales of a Quarantine Confession
Epic dystopian road trip. Grocery store hook-ups can be awkward, sexy or dangerous-be careful what you tinder. Tabitha comes home to a grizzly scene. In an opiate haze of brain swelling and grief, she begins her odyssey fueled by jealousy, mistaken identity and social media. Matty and Elaine embark on a secret mission to the tech mecca of the west coast. Move along at break-neck speed into the dark wasteland of the pandemic; pulse throbbing like a fresh cut vein, flying down highway 69 in an Oldsmobile with a trunk big enough for a body. Wanna ride? Shadows in the flames flicker and spew forth strange figures. A cold wind twists the night into a howl. Zombie ants dance till a fiddlehead fern sprouts from their brain goop and unfurls itself like an alien tentacle. Cheap motels found in desolate storms on the flat wastelands of the Midwest promise addiction and death.Complete
