Featured on @fright and @crime | A funny take on the serious lives of the people in Mona's life, where urban stories, death, and ducks keep them up at night.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Liza died of overdose. 
Her boyfriend Dennis likes to deflect from the pain by keeping himself busy.  Her best friend Mona's coping mechanism includes buying a goat and naming it Liza.

As if things weren't weird enough, the cops soon come knocking at her door, where they inform her  about the sudden spike of death rates in the town, all caused by narcotics. As they were busy investigating more into this, Mona finds her deceased friend's journal, where it was written clear as day that Mona herself was Liza's drug supplier. 

With the help of  her dead best friend's boyfriend Dennis, and an extremely impulsive high schooler Disha; Mona must figure out what happened to Liza before she died, while keeping her own life from falling apart. 

Did I mention there was a strange person following her everywhere, claiming to be a ghost?

Secrets bury themselves deeper, and trust unravels into suspicion. When she loses the man she believed would be her forever, her world fractures into grief, lies, and unanswered questions.

You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123
21 parts Complete
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.

Such a belief has led her to be kicked out of her convent in Chicago for accidentally flashing a group of churchgoers and deemed in desperate need of reform. She is sent on a bus to a stricter convent in New Orleans, Louisiana, but in a drama fueled twist, God has different plans for the joyous nun. She is to solve a murder.
