"My chest feels heavy.
So heavy I can't breathe.
In a panic I open my eyes and look around.
Thank god... It was just a nightmare."

In the year 2037, Edith, a recent university graduate, starts working at the place of her dreams. She makes new friends and learns more about the world. Both the beautiful and the not so beautiful. 
In this new world, she gets the feeling of someone following her. 
Murders that at first seemed to be just nightmares are getting closer and closer to her.

Just what is her connection to the killer? 
And what if they aren't human?


This story has horror elements (gore and stalking for example), so viewer discretion is adviced.

Project Pen (first draft) by kaisetic

undergoing 1st round developmental edits!! When Edith, an overworked college student goes no contact with her parents, she must find a way to financially support herself while she gets her degree. She enters a writing competition in which the winner gets a book deal. When she struggles to write the violence in the slasher novel she decided to write, she turns to drastic measures for inspiration. After all, you should write what you know... a/n: hi guys!! this is an (incredibly) rough first draft of what originated as a project in my Creative Writing class. We were given the school year to write an original novella, and this is mine! I've grown really attached to the plot, but at my current writing skill, I don't think I could've properly gotten the point across in the time I was given. I'm publishing it here both to share it with my friends and to hopefully find proofreaders! I would really appreciate it if you could leave suggestions in the comments as they occur, or dm me for longer explanations! I'd also love to have people to help with the outlining in general, so dm me if you want to see the outline so you can critique that as well!

Love, Anonymous by Liz_Plum

*Completed* "I just want to know why." I say as I turn over, trying to find his figure through the dark of my room. "Why what?" He asks. "Why you're being so nice to me." I say quietly, vulnerability seeping into my words. "How we even became friends." He sighs, "I want to know how." I scrunch my brow. "How what?" His response is soft, the opposite of his sarcastic personality. "How you don't see it." ******* Reagan Holt was about as average as a high school student could be. She didn't play any sports, didn't participate in the popular activities, and wasn't the girl all the boys chased after. All except one boy. He wrote her a letter every week. Each letter described something new for him to love about her. Whether it was how beautiful her laugh was or how his heart swelled with every smile she gave, he never failed to write how he felt. So the two should be together, right? That's the way Reagan wants it, but there's just one problem. He signs his letters "Love, Anonymous." Now add an obnoxious, conceited, sex god into the equation and you get a teenage girl confused on who really loves her. The sweet, tender written anonymous lover, or the cocky, ignorant asshole? -REVIEWS- "You create such wonderful characters and I can't wait to see what happens next!" VampireSa5m41993 "Thank you for wonderful dogs and little brothers and eccentrically hormonal best friends!" -Nat-Attack "I am totally hooked on this book!" nbazinet "I love the way the story flows and that you have really roundabout characters.

"She was a rogue agent. A master in worshipping her work and herself. But suddenly she disappeared, without any track. Some thought she is dead, some thought she has taken a momentarily break and some thought she was still looking out for a chance to pounce on any other gang. I don't blame them, she had a track record for doing that and she was pretty good at it." Her last kill before she vanished out of this world of war, was one of the biggest group of smugglers. Now, many other groups and rogue agents are trying to track her down for one reason or another, but in that crowd this last group which she tackled down to ashes is also included. Not revenge but something bigger. More than hard feelings, more than just a rage of vengeance. Something to gnaw at for a specific reason.

All That Remains by SamiCoops

It started with software. The kind that would ensure you live forever. A miracle microchip they install in your brain, promising eternal life. Only, instead of having extended lifespans, people died and their corpses clawed their way back out of the ground. But they weren't the same. Their humanity was gone and in its place was a ruthless instinct to kill. Jaelynn 'Jae' Moore lost everything during The Rise. Now, forced to tag along with a group that call themselves The Lost, she has had to do unspeakable things to stay alive. Elias Zhou is torn between his allegiance to his family and his disgust at The Pride's practices. When Jae crosses his path, his integrity will be tested and his loyalty pushed to its limits. As war brews between the survivors, and the number of the Risen multiplies, it's up to them to unite the remains of humanity. But, sometimes the monsters aren't the ones that should be feared and Jae and Elias will find out the hard way that you don't need to die to become a ruthless killer. You just need to be desperate enough. [Featured on @fright and @newlywrittenbooks] [Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered March2021] [Winner of the Writer's Recognition Awards 2021]
