[ TOP 10 FINALIST]
A story of how, in this ocean of kindness, we are all droplets capable of causing a ripple.
Ripples have a way of changing the world.
This is my entry for the Southwest Storytellers: On The Rise writing contest sponsored by Southwest Airlines. 
I've been proudly obsessed with SWA for well over a decade. Their people-oriented way of conducting business not only makes them a premier travel experience, but also an epitome of human kindness. The warmth, altruism and compassion displayed by the employees and the corporation makes for an unparalleled encounter each and every flight. Therefore it is an honor to combine my two biggest passions and compete in this writing contest.All Rights Reserved

The Last Heartbreak by SheLovesAGoodStory_

Jazmine Abbot has always been the girl who lets things slide-the quiet one, the pushover, the easy-to-overlook afterthought. She trusted too easily, forgave too quickly, and never demanded more than what people were willing to give. And for that, she paid the price. After being betrayed and humiliated, Jazmine is left shattered, her heartbreak on full display for the world to see. But as the whispers fade and the dust settles, one thing becomes clear-this will be the first and last time anyone plays her for a fool. They wanted her weak. Now, they'll regret ever underestimating her. 💕💕💕 Thank you all so much for your incredible support! Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that someone is plagiarizing my stories and posting them on other apps. If you come across any of these instances, please report them immediately. I want to clarify that I would never charge for these stories-they are something I genuinely enjoy sharing with you all for free 🫶🏾.

I headed for the front door and before I could push it open I felt arms wrap around my waist "Stop" I kept thrashing in his arms "Come on stop, your gonna hurt yourself more" I didn't listen I just kept trying "Keep her arm as still as you can!" Someone yelled and I felt hands grab my right arm and then something prick my skin "Just stop!" Slowly I collapsed in their arms and my eyes shut. Not how this was meant to happen

The Dilf's Desire by TequilaAlemustago

"You have beautiful eyes, I'd love to be lost in them." He said with a soft smile on his face. "Has that line worked for every female?" "Maybe it has, but I really want it to work on you because I have a crush and if it doesn't, I'll be in an awkward situation." He said making me laugh. "I'm Ethan." "I'm Louisa." That was seven years ago, seven years ago when we first met, seven years ago when I met the perfect guy for me, before I was shot and left for dead a year ago. Louisa has been in a coma for an entire year, placed there by her abusive ex boyfriend who is happily married to another woman when she awakes. Now she has to get her life back on track but this time she gets to do it right...right as a nanny for the hottest Dad in England, who also happens to be a billionaire... vote, share...and Comment💕💕 Thank you all in advance for supporting me and for those who have been supporting me I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH...YOU'RE THE BEST 🥴🥺🥰 A/N:Please do not steal any content from my story...I worked really hard for my ideas...

GRL Heard Around the world and other short stories by Glory_feeling2

This is a collection of short stories that are about places I would like to one day visit, but for now there are all chapters of my imagination. I am the Grl heard around the world! This is actually written for my Great Uncle Atty. Pio Frago to read. We live in two different parts of the world, and this is my way to reach him. It is also a collection of stories I wrote to keep my (virtual ticket) going per se! As a baby, I was personified as the little girl who 'cried' around the world by an airplane passenger in Hawaii. And in a way, I still like to get my 'voice' heard, but now through words in a story and my poetry. So, if you are willing to join me for a 'virtual ride' to a place I call my own, please do. My Grandpa passed away on Aug. 15, 2017.

Crossing the Line |Book 2- Baker and Yvonne by SheLovesAGoodStory_

Yvonne Moore was finally moving forward. She had built a life without Baker, found solace in Felix's steady presence, and was learning to open her heart again. But the past refuses to stay buried. Baker Hayes is a man at war-with his mistakes, with his choices, and now, with Aubrey, who is determined to take sole custody of their daughter. Desperate and spiraling, he turns to the one person he swore he wouldn't pull back into his mess-Yvonne. As legal battles heat up and emotions run high, Yvonne is forced to confront a truth she's been avoiding: her heart never stopped beating for Baker. But Felix isn't willing to step aside. Lines will be blurred. Loyalties will be tested. And when the dust settles, Yvonne will have to decide-does she move forward with the man who's always been there, or does she cross the line for the man who broke her heart? Love isn't always black and white. Sometimes, it's found in the gray areas... the places where hearts heal, betrayals are mended, and second chances come with a price.

The Standouts - A Critique Contest by PAULAPDX (Summer 2019 Edition) by paulapdx

🛑 - CLOSED until 2021. ***If you're interested in my critiques, you might want to check out my weekly newsletter for opportunities to get a personalized critique. https://paula.substack.com/p/coming-soon Does your work stand out in an overly-crowded landscape? Does your story & writing shine as far as: ★ - Concept ★ - Voice ★ - Storytelling The Standouts is a fun, but hopefully helpful contest that can give you a sense of whether your story resonates with someone who's got some experience under her belt. Great! But who are you to judge? Fair question. This is not to humble-brag, but I've been critiquing and have worked with story development for quite some time, and I've picked up a lot along the way. ☙ - As an Ambassador, I work on content projects. ☙ - If you look at my profile, you'll see everything I've published so far has managed to standout in one way or another, whether by leading me to become a Wattpad Star; or by winning a Watty (twice!); or by being picked as a Top 10 in major Wattpad contests (twice!); or being featured. All I'm saying is I'm no slouch. I'm not brilliant either. But I've got some experience around what can catch an agent, editor, or judge's eye, and I'd like to share that with the community. ☙ - In another lifetime, I used to work for HBO in Development and at ICM (the talent agency) in their writers' department which means I understand how professionals quickly gauge whether or not they'll take a closer look at a work and/or make an offer. This kind of insight can be helpful if you're planning to submit your work or even just want to stand out more here on Wattpad. ☙ - I used to provide critiques for three writers, all of them traditionally published. They seemed to value my insight. Read the RULES, LOGISTICS & PRIZES chapter for guidelines. All entries get a brief assessment of their first chapter, with winners getting more extensive critiques. Sound interesting? Give it a go! 😊

Russian Roulette by SheLovesAGoodStory_

Sophia Martin never imagined that trusting her only living relative would lead her into the hands of a man like Maxim Petrov-a ruthless Russian power player who doesn't believe in luck, only control. When an unexpected betrayal forces her into a world of wealth, violence, and unbreakable vows, Sophia must navigate a dangerous game where every move could cost her freedom-or worse. In Maxim's world, love isn't gentle, and trust is a gamble. The question is: can she survive the wager, or will she become just another casualty of his ruthless empire? 💕💕💕 Thank you all so much for your incredible support!
