After years of silence, the tension breaks.
Since Christina had moved from her childhood estate in Maine, the static between her and her parents had only grown. In past years the only form of communication or recognition that she received was the birthday notifications from Face Book. And then one day, she received a phone call.
The voice seemed almost foreign as Christina tried to put it into place. "Mom?..". The conversation only lasted a few minutes, the two parting ways with the sound of a beep.
It seemed that Christina would be going back to Maine for a week or two to keep her mother company while her father was in the hospital. He had suffered a heart attack earlier that week and seeing how she didn't want her mother to be lonely, she could help but succumb to her mothers wish.
Will this be a normal get away from her normal routine? Or is there something dark at play here?...

The Guardian
When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.Complete

Haunted

Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
