This is a collection of short stories based on Ella Frances Sanders book "Lost In Translation", a coolection of words from different countries that describe the little feelings and the little things we haven't named. The book was based on Sanders' original bolg "11 Untranslatable Words" which became such a big hit that people requested it be a book. "Lost In Translation" is available on Amazon, or in a bookstore near you.
What I've done here is I've taken these words and their definitions and written short stories with each plot wrapped around the word itself. These stories aren't connected to the next, but you might see some references to past or future stories involovng other words.
*All credit for words and defintions goes to Ella Frances Sanders, all stories themselves are mine.

Picking Up The Pieces
Hey guys! This book has been officially published on Amazon. It's available as an ebook or a paperback. The version available on Amazon has been edited and I even changed some of the plot. I'd love it if you went to check it out and maybe even bought it. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BF333KWH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=) Love, Sophia *** "I-" I try to say something, anything, but the words get stuck in my throat when Jonas suddenly grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me awfully close to his face. "Shut it!" Chills shoot down my spine as if someone just dumped a bucket of ice water down the back of my shirt. What is he doing? I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!" I dare to open my eyes a little to see where it's coming from. A tall blond guy, carrying grocery bags is standing a couple yards away. "Yes, I'm talking to you! Step away from the girl right now!" *** The story of two broken souls- Madeleine Evans, a college student in an abusive relationship, and Elias Sanders, a soldier suffering from PTSD- trying to pick up their own and each other's pieces.

Dangerous Vows (World Collisions) [#2]
A short story collection with a bigger picture to it all. * Subtract two parts and that's how many you will get. * Have you felt lost? Have you ever felt like you needed something in your life? Well, this isn't it. Those were the words the pamphlet spoke, yet I still didn't know what they meant. I didn't understand why my mom gave me this. Was this supposed to fix me? Give me some kind of hope? Or was this some kind of sick joke?Complete

Stranger Not So Danger
"When I first met you, you were a complete stranger. But through time, I thought I really started to get to know you. To know the way you react to things, the way you look to the side when you're nervous, and ultimately, the way you feel about me. But, right now, after all that you've said, you feel more like a stranger to me than you ever did before." I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth. I was hurt, and my heart was shattered like a hammer colliding with a mirror. Broken, by one of the only people I trusted would never break me. ~~~~~ Lindsey Grey was regretting going to the basketball game in the first place. But, her best friend, Karra, convinced her to sign up to help with spirit squad for the game. Little did she know, that was going to be the night she caught gorgeous basketball player, Jake Levi's eye. But, after the game was where the story really began. Their strange meeting was certainly an unsuspecting one. Will anything bigger happen from this unique "relationship" they share? -This book alternates between two POVs: Lindsey's and Jake's (but it's mostly in Lindsey's) Cover made by @rosegolden_ Rankings: #1- #chances 08/03/2018 Copyright ©2017 by @rosegolden_ All rights reserved.Complete
Why not ?
Why not ? Two simple words that got out of Cora McKall's mouth and caused a dramatic change in her life. The power of the tongue is real and its consequences can cause chaos that you never expected. That's why you always need to weight down your words before they escape your mouth. If needed, even turn your tongue seven times before speaking. Because once they're out, you can't take them back.

Grief • Lando Norris ✔️
They say grief comes in six stages. First, it's the initial shock of losing someone you love. Next, it's denial of the fact that they are really, truly gone. This is followed by a wave of anger at not only yourself, but those around you. You can bargain all you want, but nothing can change the past. After all this, you fall into a grey area of depression. It's numb, and it's cold, and it feels like it'll drag on for an eternity... ...But it doesn't, as long as acceptance follows. • this story is going to be sad • possible trigger warning • loosely inspired by 'eleven minutes' by yungblud and halsey • written july '19 •Complete
