She meets a fellow patient stuck in infidelity grief, which serves as a wake-up call for Claire. - Through therapy and introspection, Claire realizes that she cannot define herself by Greg's betrayal or the opinions of others. She begins to focus on herself for the first time in years. - The book ends with Claire leaving the hospital, a little stronger but still facing a world that feels hostile and overwhelming.

Every Two Years (Completed) von LGSmith82330

Ch 1- Ch 6 available on wattpad. The rest of the book (45 chapters) is available for purchase on Amazon, eBook and paperback. The first thing people think when they see Nat walking the streets of The French Quarter in New Orleans is, "so young and pretty, such a shame that she's homeless". Then they don't pay her anymore attention as she plucks their wallets right out of their pockets. That was her life. Stealing just to survive. Unless she got a big job; setting wealthy tourist men up to get robbed and that day she had found the perfect target. It wasn't until she was stabbed and losing consciousness that she learned she was his perfect target. Waking up in a small, grimy room with five strangers around her, she's enlightened that she's been kidnapped by none other than the Mass Grave Killer. It was simple. He kidnapped ten people, held them for two years, and then buried their bodies in a mass grave, and he had been doing it for over six years already, but there was no way that Nana was going to lie down and let him kill her. If she could survive fighting grown men for tent space, she could fight another for her life. Every day of those two years she fights for her life and when time is almost up she finds the strength to kill the man that tortured ten people for two years and finally escapes. She's free, but not without scars. For the next two years, she tries to piece her life back together between the flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety attacks, and just when she thinks things are looking good, she comes face to face with her nightmares. Tha man she killed has come back from the grave, and the only thing he wants is to start over with her. Having to constantly look over her shoulder, she now has to run for her life and try to catch him before he catches her.

When All Goes Wrong (a Danny Phantom x Gravity Falls) von SparksOfUniverse

First fanfic ever made on my profile so be nice with it First language isn't English so there's a lot of mistakes and I can confirm this (as my 2024 self who's re reading their old fics and feeling embarrassed) ''Oh god no. Why am I not enough careful? Now I'm gonna be trapped for only god knows how much time by them and ... did I hear correctly? They will do some experiments? That's even worse!'' When all the bad situations can only goes more and more wrong, what can Danny and his friends do? ----- ⚠️Warning⚠️This book is subject to graphic content even tho I try to minimize it. No adult action takes place in it, but violence and body harm can be talked about in greater details than some would like. You are warned! I don't own Danny Phantom nor Gravity Falls, I just own my character that you will know eventually. the cover pic belong to Just A Ghost on tumblr

Lucid (#wattys2016) von AriLohr

HIGHEST RANKING: 303 IN SCIENCE FICTION Isaac Crowley is your average 15 year old boy. He is a sophomore in high school, plays sports, and hangs out with his friends. Everything in his life is in control, and he knows that he has a bright future ahead. Then the dreams start happening. His best friend Lucy gets hit by a car. He dreams it, and then, it happens again two days later. He tells his parents, his friends, anyone that he can, but they all think that it's just a coincidence. These dreams begin to happen regularly, and the mounting suspense drives Isaac crazy as he tries to diffuse the situation inside his dreams, find someone that he can trust, and prove to his parents that something's wrong. But he spirals further and further down the rabbit hole, and creates a web of lies. NOTE: Well, I just published the story, and It's on Amazon, with this link: http://www.amazon.com/Lucid-Ari-Liam-Lohr/dp/069260765X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452182800&sr=8-1&keywords=Ari+Lohr This story will probably become just a preview, so I can sell the book. Anyways, thanks for all of your support, guys! I really appreciate it. Once again, thanks for supporting me in the whole process of this book so far. You guys are the reason that I do this. ANOTHER NOTE: Readers, this book's name has changed to "Lucid." I thought that it was more fitting of a name. What do you think? THIRD NOTE: If a chapter is marked "Revised," then I am completely done with it and will probably not update it again.
