As soon as Valence von Ornell had been crowned the King of Orken, he devoted his life to helping his people and bettering the community. A good-natured man, Valence exposed the community to opportunities of education, literacy, creativity, and more. However, his family did not agree with his way of ruling, but his nephew was infuriated. So much so that he chopped his uncle's head off in his sleep (he was taking a nap). From that night forward, the kindly king was forced to roam the Earth for eternity as a ghost. It was his choice and his bravery that led him to this decision. When his spirit began to inhabit the Rehabilitation Center, Molly had no idea that a ghost would be a part of the 2023 lineup... She becomes friends with his spirit and learns about Valence's past, his life, and the way he was killed. 

Told from the perspective of the late King Valence Von Ornell (voiced by Bluey)

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.
