This story will all be posted as one "chapter," but is a complete short story. I wrote it for a college assignment, and decided to post it so I wouldn't lose it if my laptop ever crashed...
This is a story about a college student trying to find her way, and wanting to be sure she's made the right choice for her life's work. On her last travel adventure before starting her career, something happens that will change her life forever. Will it be a good change, or a bad one? Read on to find out.
P.S. Sorry for the terrible introduction, I'm really not good at descriptions. But, just know that there is a lot of build up in the short story, a bit of action, (an accident included) and a resolution that is technically not a cliffhanger, but could lead to a bigger story...

A Chance Encounter
She'd been his fan for about a year. When the chance for her to possibly meet him came around she jumped on it and that day changed her life forever. The question now would arise was would this encounter change her life for the better or the worse? I'm Seriously thinking about just deleting this story. I think it sucks. I don't know. I've lost hope in it since I haven't gotten any feedback. D:Complete
The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete
Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete
