Until Spring arrives.

NOWHERE TO RUN | ONC 2025
Natalya wakes up in a hospital with no memory-only a torn piece of paper leading her to a remote cabin. With nowhere else to go, she follows the clue, hoping to uncover her past. For days, the cabin is quiet. Isolated. Then, her phone-silent since she woke up-begins to glitch, flashing the same eerie message over and over: I'm watching you. Before she can make sense of it, a stranger arrives at her door, seeking shelter from an approaching storm. With no way out, she lets the person in. But something isn't right. The messages won't stop. The storm feels too perfectly timed. And the stranger knows more than they're saying. Natalya came to the cabin for answers. Now, she just wants to survive. ------------------------------------------------ Written for Open Novella Contest 2025 🏆ONC Longlister & Shortlister ------------------------------------------------ Prompts chosen are 44.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
