The cruelty of the world is nothing new. We were born prey, but we fought to become predators and survive. But then we got too close to the Sun and our wax wings melted - we started hunting ourselves. We kill each other, we hate each other, we fight against each other. As time goes on, shouldn't we become smarter and realize how petty our quarrels are?

I wish.

A few years into the future, the world was overthrown by another flood of anger and hatred. A new target has been chosen and the whole world has agreed that it is time to eradicate them all - including me. We fought back, but this time no one was behind us. This time we were defenseless.
I met a little boy - kind, innocent, scared. I wanted to help him, the way I wanted someone to help me. I tried. I truly tried. But even I couldn't beat the system.

I am sorry.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts
47 parts Complete Mature
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

🏆 ONC 2025 SHORT-LISTER 🏆 Warning: Explicit mentions of violence, suicide and sexual content. Please proceed with caution. Rated Mature. ============================================= The sun burns too hot outside. And inside her house, the heat isn't the worst thing. Her mother's words hit just as hard, reminding her that she's a disappointment. School isn't much better. No one notices when she's there, no one cares when she's gone. She's background noise, too exhausted to try anymore. And then the puddle appears. It shouldn't be there, not in this drought. When she kneels beside it, her reflection stares back. It blinks. It pulls her in. She thought she would die drowning in. But being alive, dragged into another world isn't the problem. Now she is important to this other world. Now, she is seen. But because she is so valuable, the General wants to use her. And possibly, someone that might want her to stay, for her. Portal is a paranormal fantasy adventure filled with sapphic tension, full of action and death, and a love that goes beyond worlds. For the Open Novella Writing Contest 2025.

46 parts Ongoing Mature

I was used to the quiet. The isolated life I had made for myself felt safe away from the greed and carnage the world left behind. The apocalypse wasn't supposed to happen, we all thought it was an earthquake - an event that wouldn't mean anything in a few days, let alone be remembered in the history books as the worst day in human history. But now, we starved, killed and survived the horrors that walk the earth. What else could we do? I was fine, safe, content in my cabin, but that was all before. Before I met Damien. _________________________________________ "What's wrong? Do you not see this?" "They were scaring you, were they not?" "Yes, but.."
