Shiloh's best friend went into the woods, and disappeared. 

Every September in Black Lake, Washington, a few senior girls wake up in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night. No one knows how or why. 

Shiloh always suspected her best friend Madelyn would wake up out there.  Only the best wake up in the woods, and Madelyn shines a little brighter than other people.

What is a surprise though, is that within a week of waking up alone in the dark, Madelyn is gone. Her car is found abandoned on an old logging road, but Madelyn herself has vanished. The police are convinced that she ran away to California to find herself, that she'll come home in a few weeks, a little tanner and wiser. 

But Shiloh knows better. Something happened to Maddie in those woods, and she's going to find out what, no matter the cost.All Rights Reserved

It was beautiful and better than I ever dreamed. Like most good things in life, though, it was too good to be true. I went back to my regular life and tried to put the man of my dreams out of my mind, only to find out he left me with a part of him I would cherish forever.

And when she meets her boss and future partners, every fibre of her being tells her to quit-but she needs the money. How hard can it be to dispel the ghost of a bird? Soon, she finds herself fighting the advances of a medieval playboy, targeted by a flock of ectoplasmic ravens, and trying to solve the puzzle of the cottage in the lake. With disaster waiting around the corner, she truly has no time for a budding romance, right? ~ ~ ~ My entry for the open novella contest 2021.

In Your Dreams by Mystery245

One thing is certain. You can never escape it. DEATH. A five-letter word. But what if you could escape it. Well, Templar May is about to find a world where you have unlimited time. A place where your wildest dreams and biggest fears come to life. -----------_--------------- I know I am dreaming but I can not keep my eyes from the vibrant trees and amazing green that surrounds me. Heavy blankets of moss cover the trees in beautiful green layers. Clovers dominate the forest floor in thick bunched patches. My eyes gaze at the unfathomably tall pine trees that seem to touch the heavens. I know I am dreaming but I can feel the cold creep up my spine and my breath comes out in thick foggy clouds that reach for the heavens. My mind slips into a foggy haze that mirrors the fog blanketing the forest when I see it. At first, it is just a glimpse of black. Then I realize that this black is a thick mass of hair attached to a person. Whoever it is, their back is to me. From the stature and muscle tone, they appear male. Tan skin shines as a bright contrast against the various shades of green that blanket everything. A force pulls me in like a siren's call. Pinpricks manifest under my skin as a growing sense of danger fills my body. The magnetic force continues to draw me in as if I do not have any choice in the matter. Something deep inside my body, deep inside my very soul screams at me to run away and never return but, the siren's call continues. Tension tightens my muscles as an alarming desire within me registers. I want this. I do not know why but I want to know whoever this is. But as I come within yards of the stranger, my dream changes. I am outside of my body watching the color drain from my still body and blank eyes as my blood soaks the once bright green foliage on the forest floor. Editing later on
