A SHORT STORY BY LUMERISDAR
It had been twenty-six years since the events of the infamous Silent Zone incident- a corporate catastrophe which leaked an alien-like material in a hazardous cloud across the eastern coast of the United States, bending reality to its own degrees, causing widespread chaos.
It drove many families to move to major cities where it was under control, such was the case with Ezra Susho and his family. He now grew up and lived a solitary lifestyle in New York, spending most of his days alone at school, downtown, or at home.
However, when a new girl who had recently moved to the city arrives at school at the start of his second semester, his world is flipped upside down as the two seem to connect like puzzle pieces without reasonable explanation.
Ezra would finally gain a friend to bond, admire, and talk to who brings him out of his shell. However, her odd behavior grants him a tour of the other side of reality- the unnatural world beyond the city's borders. Soon, though, he learns frightening secrets about himself and her that the world had been hiding from him all along.

Drawn to You
What if the moment you turned twenty-three, the universe pulled you toward the one person you were meant to love? In a future where romantic attraction is no longer left to chance, Jules has spent her whole life wondering who her soulmate will be. Everyone wears an electromagnetic bracelet - designed to guide them to the one. On her twenty-third birthday, hers activates. But it doesn't lead her to who she expects. A pull through the city. A memory she didn't know she'd kept. A stranger who isn't a stranger at all. As Jules is drawn to Devin - a quiet, steady soul from her distant past - she's forced to confront everything she thought love would be. What follows is a slow-burning connection marked by second chances, shared history, and the unshakable feeling that sometimes, fate knows you better than you know yourself. Heartfelt, grounded, and quietly magical, Drawn to You is a romance about timing, memory, and finally finding the one who feels like home. This was a challenge from a friend. I was given the prompt and told I had to write at MINIMUM 10,000 words.Complete
Signal To Noise
A flash of light, a hiss of static, and a city of 50,000 became a ghost town in an instant. The area was cordoned off, eye witnesses were taken away in black helicopters, never to be seen again, and officially, the city no longer exists. The only people left inside the cordon are Curi, Crypto, and Tech, three members of an expedition into the Zone who can't remember who sent them, why they're exploring the Zone, or even their real names. The only thing they can remember is they are tracking a radio signal coming from the center of the Zone. A signal that can't possibly be human. But the Zone isn't ready to give up all of its secrets. And it is more dangerous than any of them realize. [A story for the Literary Lounge Gen 3 Contest]Complete

Primed: A Kayla Madison Story
Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading! I've been working on this story for quite a while and have drafts for a five book series. I would love feedback on what I can do to make it a stronger story. If there are things you enjoy, let me know (so I don't change those parts.) :) All portions of the story have been submitted and final chapters will visible by Nov 18, 2023. Among other degrees, I have my MFA in creative writing. I am a science teacher when I am not writing.Complete

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
