"This wasn't some story book tale. There were no happy endings. People would get hurt. People would cry. The bad guys would probably win. But for the sake of living up to the reputation children had of being blissfully ignorant, he would pretend that this was a story. The men trying to kill him would be the villains. And he and Wendy, they would be the naively optimistic teens who told themselves they could win despite the odds. Who pretended they had a chance at all. They would be the pretenders. And so begins their story." - The Pretenders.

Whisper in the Wind ▸ Tyler Owens
Once, long ago, Zahra Howard liked to consider herself fearless. Whether it was a car going faster than humanly possible, illegally racing down the rural roads of Oklahoma, or even chasing its tornadoes. She never seemed to fear anything. Until she did... And after that, she promised she'd never go back. She promised she'd never get that close again. Until, five years later, while she's busy sticking to that promise with determination, the past comes knocking on her door, asking for a favor. She could say no. It would be easy to say no. But the thing about her was once she cared; it was hard to let go. Even if she tried. And somehow, that made saying no harder than the alternative. Which is how she broke her own promise. How she ended up back here in Oklahoma, and right during an unprecedented tornado outbreak ravaging the place she'd once called home. ----- Twisters (2024) Twist in the Tale Series - Standalone Tyler Owens / OCComplete
The School Escape
It was a normal day, until we heard those static noises. The next thing you know everyone is running out the classrooms. I can hear students screaming and running. When I step out I see bodies all over the floor. My old friends covered with blood, like a red blanket covering them. Follow as a group of students try to escape this hell. Their past catches up to them. They have to face reality and stop trying to hide the past. What they didn't expect was for the past to catch up so quickly. Lying and acting fake, is just the beginning of the past, but also torture, and rape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the beginning of the story it's really bad writing. But as you continue to read the story gets better, I promise. Do give my story a chance I promise you won't regret. (I think ;))Complete
