I'd always heard the voices. From being a young child when the doctors had long since given up trying to find a cause, the voices woke me, screaming, in the night. But then, they began to guide me. When I started to find the dead bodies - animals, children - I was called a psychic. I was used to help, but I could only find what the voices wanted to show me. But then, one day, the killer chose another victim. It chose me, and only the voices could save me. Except, they weren't just voices. They were.... - Whilst on a long (7.5) hour flight to Wattpad HQ in Toronto, I was watching the film Solace. Part way through, an idea threw itself into my mind and I had to stop the film and start writing immediately. I also had another idea later on, again which I had to write down. This is the first of those ideas and is written for the #OnceUponNow promotion. Don't worry, Red Queen is being worked on too, but sometimes you just need to purge yourself of a story to be able to continue on with another.

Looks like there's a whole lot of flash fiction story contests up on Wattpad at the moment to celebrate the spooky season of October. So I figured I'd dedicate a book of One Shots to write as many of these flash fiction stories as I possibly can. Enjoy. UPDATE: 6 stories from this anthology went on to become winning entries. - MONSTERS - MIDNIGHT FAST FOOD - SAMHAIN - HALLOWEEN MAKEUP - NIGHT OF THE LIVING COSTUMES - MAGIC POTIONS SHOP Wattpad Profile - STORY TITLE - word count WattpadMilitaryFiction - MONSTERS - 500 words Fantasy - THE LAKE - 850 words Horror - MY TRICK BEATS YOUR TREAT - 500 words WattpadVampires - FANCY DRESS PARTY - 500 words FoodKart - MIDNIGHT FAST FOOD - 1000 words WattpadTimeTravel - SAMHAIN - 500 words AmbassadorsUK - WISHES - 1000 words Beauty - HALLOWEEN MAKEUP - 500 words ComeAndSitWithUs - UNSAID STORY - 500 words Secret Treasures - THE DARKEST TIMELINE - 500 words GothicLit - AN ILLEGITIMATE ESTATE - 500 words JustWriteIt - NOT SO ALONE - 500 words Paranormal - NIGHT OF THE LIVING COSTUMES - 1500 words Magic - MAGIC POTIONS SHOP - 500 words

SmackDown: Back to Our Roots by LayethTheSmackDown

Our previous two SmackDowns were both massive successes, and it's high time for another. You might remember the last one was heavy on the "game" elements, maybe even too heavy. This time we're going back to the basics and keeping it simple. It's just a motherfuckin' sci-fi SmackDown: a heated writing contest where contestants are given text-, music- and visual-based prompts, and then they need to write a short story around that, following which they're judged for their efforts and either move on to the next round or they get eliminated from the competition. But there's gotta be some kind of twist, right? For this one we're waxing nostalgic, we're looking back into our past. We're going back to our roots.

A Baker's Dozen of Christmas What-Ifs by Picturina

Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland). Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones? The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree. Examples of ways in which reality has branched: What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them? What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company? What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me? What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school? What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?

A holiday anthology coming to you from some of your favourite Wattpad Originals writers. Each day until December 31st a brand new story (or sometimes two!) will be shared here...for free! Happy Holidays friends!

The Thoughts Of A Wandering Mind by veelozada

An Anthology. This is filled with shorts and dabbles, all inspired by story prompts found on Wattpad. ••|| Genres may vary

Entries for Wattpad Short Story's contest "12 Days of Writing" ✨Winner 12 Days of Writing (day 6 - horror)✨ ✨Winner 12 Days of Writing (day 11 - action)✨ I started this at Christmas and the deadline was December 31 and I can say, without any doubt, that this has been the most words I have ever written within one week. Not all the stories are holiday themed You might notice that there are no names mentioned anywhere in the book. This is simply because I suck at thinking of names for book characters. Every prompt has its own genre (science fiction, horror, fantasy, etc.) and the stories are no longer than a 1000 words. Please note that this was the first time that I have written in some of these genres, so all I can say is that I did my best. Have fun reading!
