It's easy to make split second decisions, because you don't have time to overthink them too much. All you can do is hope that your autopilot functions well enough. But sitting here, in the gate of the airport, about to fly 1,910 miles to attend a college I've never even seen before, with just my doubts as company...I couldn't help but cringe at the niggling voice in the back of my head that screamed that I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life.
If anyone is super interested, I might do a second part, but this is a short story for a contest, so I'm not currently planning on continuing it.

Make It Out Alive
The wooden floorboards creak underneath my footsteps as I walk down the abandoned hallway, my flashlight swinging back and forth in front of me. The cold air from the hallway seeps through my already wet cold clothes, making me shiver. I'm almost at the end of the hallway when I see a door on my left. I stop and stand in front of it. I place my hand on the doorknob and twist it open. I let my eyes adjust to the darkness, finally I see what's in the room. A scream of terror erupts from my throat. My body freezes itself as I stare at the hanged corpse of one of my friends.--------------------Think about this: What do you think will happen when 100 passengers crash land on an abandoned island and only 8 survive. And what they don't know is that the island has its own secrets....secrets that can kill.Complete
The Window Seat (badLuckbrides #1)
In my worst nightmare, I'm on a plane. No, it doesn't crash and nothing gets caught in the engine mid-flight. There's no terrorist on board, nor is there a terrifying emergency landing (although I wish there was). The flight itself is actually lovely and I was happy before I got on. I'm on my way to one of my favorite destinations where I'm going to be living with the man of my dreams. My life, ascending into a place I never want to come down from. And then Simon crash lands back into my life and he's got a stowaway: everything I ever ran from. 18+ TW: adult topics, sex, miscarriageComplete
Love At First Flight (Short Story)
Have you ever just looked around in a room full of people and suddenly someone caught your eye. When you studied that person from afar, or up close, watching their mannerisms and personality, you just couldn't help but feel like, "He/She could be the one." (Hannah Montana reference) The person that you're meant to be with. The person God, or fate, chose for you to be your soulmate. You could literally meet them anywhere at any time in any situation, and you'd instantly feel a connection that draws you to want to learn more about them and be someone important to them. Now think about all the thousands of people who travel through an international airport in one day. Wouldn't it make sense if two complete strangers were able to meet each other in an airport and turn out to be soulmates?Complete

Finding Out: Part 1
I woke up because I heard people laughing, I opened my eyes and saw that I was sitting on someone's lap I screamed, I seem to do that a lot lately. All the boys covered their ears and the car went from the lane, it was scary because we almost fell of the cliff. I turned around and hid my head in someone's chest and he wrapped his arms around me. The car went a little to the right, so I screamed again. We then took a sharp turn to the left the limo was tilting. I look out of the window and saw that there was at least 10 meters to the ground. The door was swung open by one of the guys, the driver was trying hard to keep the front half of the limo on the road.Complete
COURSE CORRECT
Every day, you're headed somewhere and a mistake that many people make is in NOT asking: Am I headed in a direction I really want to go? I believe you know that in some aspects of your life, you're off course and you want help getting on track. You don't have to feel lost or frustrated anymore and you don't have to navigate the path to change alone. In fact, you're not alone. I'm right here with you as your Pilot in Command and I'm so excited to take this journey with you. Course Correction began as a way to get my own life on track to where I truly wanted to go. It worked for me and I'm going to share with you exactly what I did. You're going to learn how to: Get crystal clear about your desired destination. Assess the areas where you are currently off-course, and then... MAP out a plan to chart a course toward fulfilling your goals and dreams The best part, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. This program is designed to be personalized, with the aim of helping YOU navigate toward your personal goals and your unique highest potential. Each and every one of us has a vision of our very best self and our very best life and I believe there's a reason for that. Beyond the details like what you do for a living, what professional letters or labels you put next to your name, what you create, or who you love, you are here to express the highest vision of who you are. That is your true calling. Very often, unhappiness is due to the gulf between who we are and who we most want to be. In doing this course, you narrow that gulf and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment of working toward your true happiness. The modules are designed to take you step-by-step through this program and I've included lots of fun bonuses and extras to help you. Your success is going to be greatly determined by your engagement and commitment to doing the work. But you're ready to fly, aren't you?Complete

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm.
