1912 businesstrip family forest india love paranormal phantoms thelisteners tragic uk walterdelamare

I don't own the plot or the title of the poem "The Listeners" by Walter de la Mare. I just wanted to imagine what the past would have been for the traveller and the phantoms in the house. So I just wrote an imaginary story on their lives.

The Venantium Auallonia Trilogy: Summer Tide by prettyoddGal

This is a story I wrote a long time ago. I was about 12 and obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I started writing it. I mainly wrote it for myself as a method of self-therapy, even self-published it for a time, but It never got anywhere. Im hoping maybe putting it on a site like this will give it some recognition. If you've liked what you read here, there is a second book titled Midsummer Sky that you can read on here as well. Commentary of all forms and rating is welcome. Here's the description: "But all the story of the night told over,  And all their minds transfigur'd so together, More witnesseth than fancy's images,  And grows to something of greater constancy; But, howsoever, strange and admirable." ˗˗William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream In May of 1827, Emery Winchester, a young man who like his uncle was a starving artist living off the streets of downtown London. Until the night he was murdered by a beautiful woman that was less than human, awakening as an immortal, and a vampire. From this, he swore off love for eternity. Now almost 200 years later, in quaint little Cape Cod, fate gives him an cruel deal. Dawn Waters, another anti-love supporter because of abuse, neglect, and sexual assault, finds herself falling in love with the strange newcomer. There's something off about him that sends Dawn into a roller coaster of life changing events...

Hold My Hand by EarthPrincess11

Regency era, alternative story about Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. Sidney's mother is pushing him to marry and marry well to save the family from ruin. His pursuit is Mrs. Campion, a wealthy widow with a horrible personality. On the verge of asking her to marry him, he goes on a hunting trip to clear his head. What happens on this hunting trip changes his path in life forever. Sidney POV When I first had the idea for this story, I pictured a bear attacking Sidney. But doing research I found that bears are not common wild animals in England. I'm American and live in a state where bears are common. In doing research, I found that in the regency era there were wild cats that were referred to as phantom cats, panthers, jaguars, or leopards. Although, some accounts claim there is no such thing and stories were exaggerated. Anyway, for story purposes, this phantom cat exists. I know it may not sound realistic, but as I said before, there were stories about these wild cats in some of my research. I also came across stories of the aristocratic and higher class bringing these exotic animals to England to show off and look grander to others. It reminded me of someone purchasing a dog as a puppy, thinking it'll be great. Then months later realizing these cute puppies grow up and destroy your home and chew everything up. I pictured a rich woman insisting she have one of these pure black cats on one of her many voyages to far off lands and her rich husband buying her the exotic animal. Then as this cat grew and suddenly the realization that it's a wild animal and could potentially kill someone, these high society people may just decide to let the animal go in the woods to fend for himself. Now this cat is alone in a land he doesn't belong and trying to survive, perhaps resenting man for the cruel way he was treated. Now I feel sorry for the panther. Anyway, that's the backstory on the panther and why it may be in a place it's not supposed to be.

(BEING REWRITTEN) An Opera Ghost- A Phantom of the Opera Fan Fiction by cashleykate

((Currently, I am rewriting this story to fit my current writing style, given this was written when I was in high school and I am in college now. There are a lot of changes, but I am leaving the original because I still like looking back on it. You can find the new & improved rewrite here: https://www.wattpad.com/433738666-an-opera-ghost-a-phantom-of-the-opera-fanfiction )) Florence was supposed to be the first child to Raoul and Christine de Chagny. Sadly, that wasn't the case. From the moment her parents saw her black eyes they knew Raoul was in no way the father. They knew it was the Phantom who had given Christine the child to make them suffer. Raoul, unable to keep this ghost of his past, takes Florence to the Opera Populaire knowing the Phantom still was lurking there as they tried to restore the place.The Phantom was in fact still there and he gladly took his daughter, hoping to raise her to be one of the opera's greatest singers. And as she grew, it was obvious his plans would succeed. But when Florence begins to fall for one of her patrons, will the Phantom allow her to love? *Just so you know, this is not just about the Phantom's daughter, but also about the Phantom himself, the Giry's, and the de Chagny's*

The only real thing in this story is the Museum of London (which has an excellent Roman gallery, btw); any coincidence with real heritage experts - or indeed the unrealistic probability of such a find - is my fault. -'Cyclopean Arches'.
