Hello!! My name is Gwen, and I want to share all my crazy life stories, from love to adventure and even a little bit of horror. I have never told anyone any of these, so I think it might be fun to share them with you guys and get to know if you have experienced anything like I have. I really hope you like them and enjoy them. These stories are 100% true (even though it may seem hard to believe at times), so the names have obviously been changed. If your name appears in one of my stories, it's purely coincidental. I hope you like it and can have fun sharing stories. (BTW, this also serves as a diary to help internalize and process many things in my life. It's a safe place where I can express my opinions and thoughts, which I sometimes don't say out loud for different reasons. Also, beware. There will be a lot of invented random words, crazy writing, and some curse words, but nothing too serious. It's a small glimpse into my mind to just have fun).

For influencer Carolyn Danes, #aboutlastnight is the best hashtag. It perfectly sums up an evening filled with adventure and excitement. And her last evening out really WAS perfect. Her dress fit perfectly, her hair and makeup were on point, and she met the man of her dreams, out-of-this-world-hot and charming Damian Bradley. It just had to be ruined by something as silly as waking up in a strange empty room, in Damian's body, her own lifeless corpse lying on the floor. No amount of screaming in the world can make the nightmare go away. Her only clue about last night is a letter from Damian himself. It can all be undone. He just made a deal with the Devil, and now the Prince of Darkness wants one small favor to set everything right. Find a tiny shard of soul. But when Carolyn can see every bit of soul the world has lost, finding one particular piece may prove impossible. 👸 This is my open novella contest 2020 entry. Yay me!
