blackcomedy comedy comedy-drama comedy-romance con criminal feelgood grifter horror humor myster mystery novella shortfiction

A meticulous grifter tries to stay below the radar by hiding out in a privileged suburb, using a fictional family as a cover for his schemes. Murder, mayhem, HOA wars, and PTA meetings ensue. 

Basically, if you like self aware narrators, sarcasm, satire,  and dead bodies, this one's for you. It's super short you can read it in like forty five minutes, so as opposed to binging a whole series it's more like watching a Netflix movie you become unreasonably attached to.

Dickhead Syndrome by imfullofpain

The story of bullying and romance and gangs. And abuse. It shows how any life can get out of hand. "My boyfriends father is choking me! Because I won't let him rape me!" Does she give in or not? "My family will be looking for you and me. They will come save me so you better let me go." "Your family isn't your family no more we hear that you have gone different paths is that not true. And before you lie. We have a lie detector here. And if anyone goes looking for you they will see your note that you will be gone for awhile." My fear started to eat at me. The overthrowing urge of vomiting came across my body. Does she get out or is she gone forever.

Flight of the Gazebo by KentSilverhill

Drome isn't paranoid. The entire world really is out to get him. And that world isn't even Earth. It's a weird hollow world that his whole village ends up in through a thaumaturgic accident. And to make matters worse, as soon as they arrive he's taken hostage. If the creatures who abducted him, and took him to the Imperial Palace, don't kill him first, there's a queue of hostiles, sharpening their knives, right behind them. Luckily Drome escapes with the help of a living skeleton, but that relationship is more than a little strained by Drome's unerring ability to annoy everyone he meets. Getting back to his village won't be easy, seeing as he's not even sure where it is. But he needs to return quickly and warn them of the homicidal imperial troops on their way to wipe out every person in it. That's if someone else doesn't kill him first.

Sort of Dead by RaghavBhatia7

**This book features short, fun, snappy chapters** **Perfectly fine as a standalone** [Caution: may pack a couple of gutpunches.] "First things first: this is the story of how I die. Over and over again." __________________________________ Marra is NOT a vampire. He is a normal human, just like you. At least, that's what he tells himself. Life pits him against odds so bleak, that he'd rather die than face them. That's precisely the problem though. He just doesn't seem to . . . die. And now he's headed towards his worst nightmare, accompanied by a grumpy one-armed adult, a quippy spirit, a copperhead nerd, a sassy actor, a beagle, and a corpse. Welcome to his wacky world. Herein lies a hilarious, heartfelt, and first-hand account from Marra himself, ridden with characters to tickle your funnybone, witchraft to bewitch you, and loads of weird but laugh-out-loud stuff. Like, loads. Enjoy. ______________________________________ { Awesome cover by @jaszthewayyoulikeit } #completed ***All rights reserved: Do not recreate or plagiarise. This is an original work.***

Now that the trial has been put to rest, Rueben believes that life is on an upward trend. It's not long before he understands he is sadly mistaken. Around every corner lies a new demon lurking with the desire to rip the rug out from under him. He makes the decision to team up with a secondary squad, but in the end, he wonder it's worth. Will dragging more people he cares about into the fight to save his best friend be beneficial?-or detrimental? The answer remains unknown. Without realizing it, more enemies have accumulated in his temporary departure from mafia business. Some seek vengeance in a faceless nature, while others are those he wouldn't dare believe would hurt him. Constantly stricken with the fear that his friends and family will receive the same fate as his sister, the fight to earn their freedom grows ever present. ☽ ☾ Mason feels as if his personal life is becoming what he's always wished for; he found someone that not only lights the fire in his body, but keeps it burning. However, not all things that start well, end well. Kai has a new person in his life and he's stealing all his time. The once open communication turns into broken boundaries. As the two of them slip into the shadows, acting in unison, Mason slowly gets shoved into the dark. And now the question remains: will everything he fears become reality? Everyone finds themselves battling for something. Love. Lust. Desire. Greed. Revenge. They've all got a motive. Only problem is-someone has to take the heat for it. ⤷ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴇ ᴍᴄꜱ ꜱᴇqᴜᴇʟ ᴛᴏ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇʟʏ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱ ⤷ ✩ 350, 817 ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ © COPYRIGHT MARELIZXX
