Losing my parents at sixteen was hard enough. Throw in a drug addict twin sister and a pile of debt and you get desperate. That's the only word that accurately describes what I felt the day I handed over the keys to my childhood home and moved to the town of Sacona.
The whole place was nothing like I remembered. The people were skittish and filled with ridiculous superstition. It's only been four years since we last visited and since then it's earned a reputation amongst the locals as the town of the dead.
I suppose a string of mysterious deaths will do that to people, especially in a small town where everyone knows everyone.
Some say the town is haunted by the ancestors of generations before them, cursing any newcomers that hold no relation to the founding families, but I don't believe in ghosts. The world is scary enough as it is without adding another dimension of fear. Whether I'm being ignorant or intelligent is yet to be seen.

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitComplete
The Things You Will Never Know
If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner... Let's see who makes it to November 1st.
Cheshire Girl
"There were three things about which I was absolutely certain. First, I didn't have my cell phone. Second, my hands hurt from gripping the trunk lid closed. They would probably be useless to put up a fight. And, third—I'd made peace with myself. I already found out what had happened to Charlotte Jones…. I did the best I could do. I felt accomplished and, even though I was scared sh*tless, I felt… complete. The car turned off. The door opened and slammed shut. I'd made peace with myself… but I couldn't stop my body from trembling like a leaf. I was still scared I was going to die. Was I going to die?" *** Please comment about anything. Errors, you liked it, hated it (explain yourself), not your cup of tea, whatever.Complete

The Beautiful Trapped Ghost (BWWM)
Liam left everything that he knew behind, his house, the neighborhood he lived in, and the city that he knew. Why? Because he needed a change. He needed a fresh start; he couldn't handle the gossips anymore, the neighbors whispering behind his back, the failed relationship that ended with a heartache for him and not his ex. He needed to be in a new area where no one knew what happened; no one knew the suffering he went through. So what does Liam do? He packs his things, sells his house, old furniture, and buys a new home in an area he's never even been in or heard of. Everything should go perfectly, right? This fresh start. Not quite, Liam has an unwanted guest in his new house, and this guest doesn't want to leave; she seems to be telling him that it's her house and not his. She's mistaken; this house was Liams. After all, he's purchased it for an excellent price and has moved all his new things in there. She's the one that needs to go, not him. So why is it that Liam is unable to kick her out of his home? Why is it that she won't leave?! or is it that she can't go. Strange things start to occur in Liam's new home, something that shouldn't be happening, spooky things, things that would happen in horror movies, and Liam doesn't know what to do. He starts to panic; he's the only one panicking; the unwanted guest, on the other hand, just stares at him with a smile as she throws her head back, letting out a chilling laugh. "We'll see who ends up leaving, because I am not going anywhere." She says.Complete
THE INNOCENT DELINQUENTS
This story tackled various genres, it started as a romantic story and deviated its path into a dilemma of psychopaths, crime, and untrusted people. A mistake from the past never stays in the past, like an unsolved murder case where the killer is living an unexpected life. In life, some paths can't be discovered if the person doesn't improvise. Life is so stubborn, when it wants you to know some certain things, it may even hurt you just in order to put everything where it belongs. In fact, you may be related to that everything, or you are the key to everything. In Pervelli people hid the truth and lived normally. They have used to the role of innocence. However, life doesn't admire lies and evil, it does punish the villains no matter how long it takesComplete
