Ever sneezed and felt like your soul was just about to leave your body? Well, Marcus never imagined such an absurd thing could happen to him either, because it literally did.
****
One minute he was at a house party, the next he found himself sneezing so bad, he could swear he felt his soul leave his body.
Or did it?
All Marcus Velasco knew was that he found himself in a weird reality with the last person he expected to see at the moment.
What was more, there was a twenty-four-hour timer embedded at the back of his wrist with a quest to find his way back home within that span of time.
It was either that, or his heart would stop if he didn't meet the requirements before the time was up.
He was faced with two choices, and whichever one he made would cost him the other.
Would Marcus make it back in time? Or risk losing his soul forever in a dream fatale.
That in the first place, was if Marcus could realize what home truly meant before it was too late.

Passage to Kraälst Ta'ark
Benjamin Mills turns thirteen with the arrival of the Fall Equinox, but he doesn't want to grow up and this means he's one year closer to adulthood. At home, he feels alone and abandoned by the adults that were supposed to be there for him. When the clock strikes midnight, a strange door appears in his basement. Before he could decide whether to open it or leave it alone, it instantly transports him to the alien planet of Kraälst Ta'ark. The aliens that inhabit the planet kill and eat every creature that crosses a door. This makes Benjamin quickly realize that his worries were trivial when compared to being trapped on a world where he's considered food. Only another prisoner can help him escape, but should he really trust her? Can he learn to be courageous enough to face all the dangers and allow the extraterrestrial stranger to help him? ___________________________________________ "It's not the destination, it's the journey." ___________________________________________ YA Science Fantasy novella. ***Novella made from the short prompt Stranded on the Other Side finalist.*** Reviewed by @MajesticIncAwards and reviewer @amaranthinepoetryComplete
Final One Standing
Time. It's a tricky thing. No one knows just how much time they left. It can be 100 years or 100 seconds. 12 hours or 12 minutes. No one knows. They were just given life and they have to spend their time while they can. But what if you avoid your expiration date? What happens? Are you now invincible or do you have the biggest target on your back. Or what if you just piss off the grim reaper, what then? What if you aren't careful and accidentally drop a coin? What happens if you're the last one standing in a pool of blood? What happens...?Complete
Hollow Dream ✔️
A voice asked. "You'll catch a cold, why didn't you take your jacket?" I spun around, and my eyes locked with Marcus's eyes. "Hey," I said, my voice a little trembling from the cold, and I wrapped my arms across my chest, my shoulders stiffening. I had not expected that it would be so cold. My fingers dug into my sleeves, and I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, trying not to shiver too obviously. Marcus didn't answer right away. He just looked at me for a second, then stepped forward. Silently, he slid off his jacket and placed it over my shoulders, and I ensnared it tighter around me immediately. It was still warm from his body. The inside smelled... citrusy?Complete

This Our Soul
Rose texted him about the rubber snake they used to hide to freak each other out. She wanted to know where it was so she could hide it for Dad's birthday. James remembered very well where he had seen it last. As for where it was now... Well. He responded with what was only a tiny lie. Rose was disappointed. But what else could he say? "Sorry, Sis, but it vanished into thin air... and thus freaked me out way more than it ever did sitting in the bathtub..." It wasn't like convincing Rose he didn't remember was so hard. It was just... this was the first time anybody had brought up his disappearing-objects problem (albeit unknowingly). Every time he thought about it, that aching Tug in his chest revved up. He'd think about that flicker of a memory in the library back home... how he'd lost Something he couldn't explain. Now here he was, in this tiny town of Donally, searching for that same Something and helpless to explain why he couldn't leave, even for Dad's 50th birthday party. James Collins has been waiting his whole life for Something he can't explain. Chouko Miura has as well. When they finally meet at the place their hearts seem drawn to, they find much bigger consequences than they expect. (Complete! Part 2 is coming soon!)
