Colton Dawson is a highly skilled detective in Miami, Florida. His colleagues attribute his success to his intelligence and charm, but the truth is a lot more perplexing: Colton has a hidden, paranormal ability to read minds.

This superpower has its obvious advantages, but Colton has lived with it long enough to have experienced the adverse effects of such a turbulent power.

A series of events causes Colton's downward spiral into darkness. At the age of thirty, he is miserable and desolate. He feels as if he's on a fast-sinking ship. Can Colton swim safely back to shore, or will he sink lifelessly into the deep depths of the ocean, leaving behind a mere legacy, that will soon be forgotten?

THE CURSE LOVE by A_believerlife

He pulls me closer to him and stares at me as if he wanted to express everything he wanted to. He holds my waist, moves his soft hands on my body, grabs my face, and whisper" You are mine. Wherever you would be and wherever you would go I will be there as your shadow or being your worst dream" Little do we know how a simple gesture of our action changes everything in our life. How our emotions end up by controlling our life over the things we needed to understand before the time passes out. I should have never approached him that day, at least life would have been much serene and maybe things would have been different.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time ✔️ by BlueStarrySky1

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and demand chocolate. '"Sweet baby Satan!" I screamed, accidentally gaining the attention of the murderers. Act natural, Arya. "Did you just shoot them?!" I mentally face-palmed. So much for acting natural, "Why did you do that? Holy cheese balls that's a lot of blood." I swallowed, willing my legs to do something goddammit. But they refused to cooperate. ' Arya McKenzie is a bright seventeen year old with a knack of getting into trouble. Her only friend is her younger brother. One day, Arya was walking home- completely soaked- when she decides to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Bad idea. She sees five scary boys kill three other slightly-less-scary men. Instead of running away or screaming like a normal person, she begins to ramble to said five scary boys. Instead of letting her go, however, they kidnap her. Rude.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

On a night when most of her schoolmates were partying, uninvited and unpopular Lola was busy minding her own business, watching her favourite kdrama when Julian broke into her not so secure room, claimed that he's been framed and begged her to hide him from the police. With someone's life now on her hands, Lola must decide if this is a risk worth taking. Should she help Julian or will this sleepover turn out to be a deadly one? 3rd place in the Seasonal Contests Teen fic genre :)
