Swallowed by the Sea
**THIS STORY IS COMPLETE!** Lawton Harris is a legend. His story is known for miles around. The Coast Guard heralds him a hero, but it's not about numbers for him. It's about saving them in her memory. The one fatality he can never forget. Gone on leave to the island of Paradise for his wedding, he spots a ghost from his past. Or did he? He'd been there when the boat went down. He'd seen her body as it descended into the choppy waters below. Even after he'd been rescued and told she was missing at sea, he never felt that feeling that she was gone. Is it possible? Has she survived? The seas are getting back at him. He's bested them too many times. Is this a cruel joke, or Heaven?Complete![Impractical Jokers: [Joker]x[Joker] Collection](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/53561274-256-k639747.jpg)

Beyond the Endless Sky
A sea of sky, a world of broken islands and shattered history, and flying ships ride the winds. Clarissa, a girl with no last name and no claim to anything beneath the endless blue, is sent to accompany a mysterious cargo aboard a ship of scoundrels. Flying beneath the lift bag of the Ravens' Child, accompanying the band of misfits and rogues that crew her, Clarissa begins to learn that the most profound mystery of her voyage is the one she takes with her. My NaNoWriMo 2019 project, an odd skypunk tale and something a little different from anything I've ever come across, like any good worldbuilding tale should be. If you happen to take a chance, let me know what you think.Complete
