Sometime after a horrible fall from grace, Anthony Devain, while trying to figure out the reason behind his friend's disappearance, ends up in the city of Harhalgh. He finds himself wrapped up in one of the city's greatest mysteries, and takes it upon himself (and maybe some other folks) to solve it.

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.

✨️WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST + AMBYS Top Pick, Science Fiction! ✨️ | Gio, a man jailed for a crime he didn't commit, becomes an augmented human in exchange for his freedom, only to question his sacrifice when he becomes thirsty for revenge. ***** The plan was simple: Go in through the front doors, demand the money from each of the drawers, and escape with the getaway car before the cops arrived. That plan crumbled in less than five minutes. Giovanni only took part in the robbery to pay for his daughter's kidney transplant. But after he was arrested, then sentenced to life, he lost it all. He wouldn't see his daughter grow, start school, or fall in love. He'd miss every step of her life while wasting away in prison with what was left of his. So, when Paxton, a blossoming cybernetic company, approached his cell with a proposition, Giovanni didn't say no. In exchange for becoming their experiment, he'd get to see the sunlight outside prison walls. He'd get to see his daughter's smiling face. And he'd get to find his "friends" who ran away with his freedom. *** AWARDS: ⭐️First Place - Mystery/Thriller - Punk Rock Awards 2023 ✨️WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST ⭐ Editor's Pick September 2022 ⭐ Editor's Pick August 2023 ⭐ Featured: @Wattpad's Unlock Science Fiction ⭐ Featured: @adultfiction "Kills and Thrills" ⭐️ Featured #FreeThePOC ⭐️ Featured on @mystery - Mystery/Thriller ⭐️ Featured on @crime "Detective & Crime Featured Stories" ⭐️ Featured @BadassReads "The Rebels" ⭐️ Featured on @action - action stories ⭐ Featured: @Creators "Siri play "Backstabber" by Kesha: Stories of Betrayal" A Scifi-thriller ◇ COMPLETED ROUGH DRAFT ** Content Warning -- this story does contain swearing and violence **
