Falling for Santa's Son by theauthorfaith

Usually, people Carol's age are getting married, buying their first house, getting their first pet, etc. Her younger sister's doing all that. Good for her right? And she's doing it with Carol's ex. It has been a year since they broke up and he has been with her sister ever since and well, I'm sure you can guess the tea for that one. But it's Christmas time so 'tis the season to be jolly. She'll be seeing her two favorite people at the family reunion. Where she has promised everyone that she has happily moved on, and has someone to introduce to the family... except- she doesn't. During a trip to the grocery store, she bumps into one of the finest men she saw, which wasn't through her phone screen. So, obviously her first reaction was to ask him to be her plus one for the family reunion and to pretend that they're a couple. He Agrees! On the condition that she'll help him become Santa Claus? Weird but she agrees to do exactly that. Nick keeps claiming that he's Santa Claus's Son and that there's this whole Christmas wonderland where people compete to be Santa...she just goes with it. I mean his good looks had to come with a sacrifice right? Little did she know what she had signed up for...

"We only exist in my head? What if I want to make us a reality?" a layer of tears can clearly be seen over his eyes. "I won't let you." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ "I thought fairy tales were not real, but I never stopped hoping they were. This boy who stands before my eyes is the reason I am still hoping."- Snowflake Maliks - Dear Diary... Hey, I'm Snowflake, but you can call me Snow. I am 16, in my last year in high school after I got moved up two grades and transferred to Mountveld to finish my last year there. Truth be told, I am running from my troubled past at North Ridge High. Sure call me a coward for running, but we're all running. From someone, or from something...

A Baker's Dozen of Christmas What-Ifs by Picturina

Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland). Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones? The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree. Examples of ways in which reality has branched: What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them? What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company? What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me? What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school? What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?

A collection of short stories in which the root of their love is simultaneously the harbinger of their demise. Because the risque of the heart's desires is often found embedded in the knife jutting through it. "...you're writing style is top-notch, especially on how you describe and highlight every detail..." - @_mnmlst "THIS WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! The third book just was amazing without words needed" - @IreneCallista07 "Overall, you did a spectacular work right there! Now, excuse me for a moment-there's something on my eye..." -@vyrdanne

His Naughty List (#Wattys2016) by negativenicole

"You're on the naughty list." He says jokingly and I roll my eyes. "Really?" "Yeah but not on Santa's." He says his turquoise eyes brighter than city lights. I drop the dish cloth and look up at him with my hands at my hips. "Then who's?" "Mine." ~*~ Clarity Evers. Hates the cold and doesn't know how to enjoy the holidays without criticizing how cheery, jolly and annoyingly peppy the world is this time of year. River Walters. Loves the snow and making people smile. He's a boyish jokester who loves to let go and have fun. Especially in the Christmas season. So what happens when Clarity witnesses River walk in her mother's bakery and light the place up like he's the energy the place needs? Is he more or less the energy that she needs as well? River loves to make people smile. ..and the next person on his list is Clarity. Clarity Evers. ~*~ #103 in Short Story - 03/29/16 #70 in Short Story - 03/30/16 #41 in Short Story - 04/26/16 I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! THESE CHARACTERS SWEAR LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW SO BE AWARE. (Although no one really cares if there is a shitload of swearing, but if you do then don't say I did not warn you.) Thanks for reading! ~Nicole Beautiful cover: @herondayles

"You've reached Westerden Ski Lodge, how may I be of assistance?" "Hey, can I rent some snow boots and skis? Maybe even a girlfriend, if you've got any in stock." "Awesome, do you want to order a life along with that? The gift wrapping's free of charge." "I'll take what I can get." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Short Story #5 (13/02/17) © 2016 evethespy. All Rights Reserved.

Welcome to my short story collection. My collection of short stories includes contests and random short stories. I hope you enjoy my short story contest entries. I've won numerous awards across various writing and reading platforms for my short story entries. I will add more entries as time passes and I enter many contests. In addition to my other writing projects, I intend to publish this short story collection in the future. Thank you for reading my short story collection. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing the various short stories. Each short story in my collection is inspired by different aspects of life, from personal experiences to observations of the world around me. I draw inspiration from everyday moments, emotions, and the human condition, weaving them into captivating narratives that I hope resonate with readers.

To Warm Frozen Fingers // A Short Story Collection by MidnightBeast1098

I like to write. As you may be able to tell. I haven't been very good at writing lately. As you may also have been able to tell. That's why I've decided to write a short story collection. The stories won't interlink, some may vary wildly and you might even wonder if they were written by the same person (the answer is yes). Overall, I'm aiming to write 23 stories, which was one per day for 23 days but I failed at that (*seethes* college work...) so now I'm just aiming to finish it before winter is over! The stories won't be very long - I'm only allowed to write for 10 minutes per story, just to get me going again (and literally warm my fingers, I get really really cold fingers for some reason) and the most I've ever written in that time is around 500 words. If you want to check out all of the prompts in my challenge head over to my blog - hannahbanana98[at]wordpress[dot]com - and have a look. I hope you like the stories! Feedback is appreciated. :) Completed Feb 29th 2016. Thanks for reading. :D
