Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete

Lucifer (Vol. 1)
#1 IN SHORT STORY COLLECTION (3/21/20) #1 In DealWithTheDevil #5 in Teenager #7 in Devil (As of 7/04/2018) Every touch on your skin is hot, burning even, like it'll evaporate you if you take even one more. He has you pinned against the wall and is scanning your body with his now glowing red eyes. They only glow for two reasons- for anger, and for desire. "Didn't you always read in stories that I'm a master of temptation? Of manipulation?" He breathes lightly against your neck, tilting your head by the wad of hair he's now twisted around his finger. Your heart races against his body as you realize once again the deal you've made. "I never believed in that stuff," you squeak out an answer in between pants. His servants knock on the door, and with a snap, he locks it tight. You feel one of his fangs trace the thin of your skin and you jolt. He smirks. "And yet you saw the unbelievable and still dealed with me. You brave, sexy little thing," He picks you up by the thighs and walks you to the bed that he's now snapped a black comforter onto before throwing you onto it. Just as you catch your breath, chains appear around your ankles and wrists as he traces kisses up your shin. You watch him crawl up your thigh just before catching a glimpse of the tribal pentagram on your hip that glows the closer he gets to it. "You're mine now, Kaya." WARNING: This story is HOT! SEXY SCENES AND Vulgar language, and a steamy, STEAMY relationship between a demi-demon and Lucifer himself. Viewer discretion is advised.Complete

A Knife's Tale (ONC 2021)
*ONC 2021 Shortlist and Ambassador's Pick* For 200 years, Victor Cunningham has lived as a soul trapped within a common kitchen knife after a fortune-teller cursed him. The curse keeps his blade unbreakable and sharp but makes his life unimaginably dull. Sure, there's been brief moments of excitement, but he's spent more time lodged in a block of wood than anything. But, Victor's current owner is a rather unsavory fellow with a dungeon basement. Victor spends his days lying on a wooden bench in the company of bloodied pliers, shears, and scalpels. He never knows the next time he'll have to stab another innocent person. When the killer brings Guinevere Thomas, a young psychic, and chains her into the basement, Victor finally finds someone he can communicate with after all of his miserable years. And all he hopes for is to cheer her up before the killer forces him through her heart. PROMPT #4 You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep. WARNINGS: Violence, gore, depictions of murder, people kept in captivity, torture and maybe a few other things later on. Cover made by me using Canva!Complete
