The Painting by colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

A Jane Doe is found wandering the forest, her hair uncombed, her clothes torn. The last thing she remembers is the forest, an extensive case of severe head trauma wiping her memories.

Hidden (Papa IV X Male) by bottlecapheek

*THIS STORY IS REMAINING UNFINISHED* An aspiring and burnt out writer finds inspiration for their new book in the old ghost stories of their hometown. Namely, a secret cult hiding out in the woods. In an attempt to search for this group, he is thrust into an unfamiliar world of sin and, surprisingly, compassion. *I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OF THE BAND GHOST* *this story does not use the Y/N format but the main character is purposefully pretty undeveloped as of now to make up for that* This story contains heavy language, sexual themes and innuendos, and other adult themes. Discretion is advised. I am a fairly young writer, so constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome and encouraged!

Hunted and Abducted by Forbidden_secrets_

\\THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK. I started writing it forever ago and it's sort of short. So sorry about that.// "So when can I leave," I asked. He took a big breath, "You aren't leaving." "What?" "You can't leave, Malia. You're staying here, with me." I never knew how much of an impact words could have on you, until now. I wanted out, I needed out. What is this, a dream? "This is all a dream," I said as I closed my eyes," Malia this is all a dream." But my kidnapper in front of me and the pain that was ,without a doubt, in my shoulder told me otherwise. - - Malia is a , more or less, typical high school girl. She has her crushes and her best friends. Her parents don't pay much attention to her though. What happens when someone walks into her life and flips her world upside down forever? \\ I'm not good at descriptions. I promise the book is better than the description of it.//

Ripper - Hell Rider's MC #1 - by BeWhoYouAre--

This story has plot holes and grammar mistakes, I get it. This book isn't edited at all and I plan to once the series is finished. If you don't want to read it than don't read it but don't comment and bash me for mistakes when I have warned readers many times that I don't edit. Thank you. ____ I shivered as I pulled my coat tighter around me. I had been walking for days, and sadly it was mid winter. The chill felt like it would never go away, and no matter how many shops I went into to warm up, I always had to trudge through the snow once more. I had no clue as to where I was going, but I was praying that I would find someone safe and warm before I was either found by the one person I was trying to escape, or before I froze to death on the side of the street. ~ Lilith, or Lilly, is running from her mother after she tried selling Lilly's body to some men. Her mother had been abusing her for years and once the night had fallen after being beaten severely, Lilith took action. She grabbed all of her money and headed East from Colorado in hopes of living a better life ~ Disclaimer: There will be swearing, violence, and more so if that is something you are uncomfortable with then I suggest you do not read this story. NOT A FUCKING AGEGAP STORY. IF YOU READ PAST THE FIRST CHAPTER YOU WILL FIND THAT OUT. THANK YOU. * I am horrible at descriptions so please do not judge the book based off of my descriptions. *

Blackout. [COMPLETED] by evemaym

A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.
