Flynn Parker, a photographer with his small town newspaper with a small hobby for hunting, likes to spend most of his time in the woods just outside the town's borders where he can get the best pictures of the wildlife for the newspaper published every Tuesday morning. But one day as he's taking pictures of a deer before he attempts to shoot it, he hears what sounds like a haunting call, similar to a melody, coming from deeper in the woods.
Old town legends speak of fairies and wisps that live deeper in the woods, drawing people in to disappear without a trace, like a ghost that no one speaks about outside of small-town whispers. Flynn has never believed these rumors before, and he's always attributed them to just those: rumors. But now that he's hearing it and he's face to face with the haunting call of legend, he can't help but begin to wonder: Is there really something sinister behind the "Woodland's Call of Halls Valley"? Or is something else going on and does something need his help?

The Werewolf [COMPLETE]
The Werewolf is a game with life and death. Under the sun or under the moon, every breath and every heartbeat has become a fight for survival. For the Werewolf has begun. Every truth is now lie. Every word is now false. Every gesture is now wile. The companions of yesterday are the enemies of today. The past protectors are the present murderers. The bonds of the heart and of the blood have been broken. For the Werewolf has begun. Forget the past. The smiles that have shone and the tears that have fallen hold no meaning anymore. Destroy all hopes and dreams for the future. The promises of tomorrow have become empty words. Fear the present. For the Werewolf has begun. ――― Emily Pierce didn't awake to the chirps of the birds that morning, neither did she to voices in the streets nor voices in the house. She awoke to silence that day and all of the days to follow. Every inhabitant of the Village had become soulless, they had gone mute, blind and deaf for the time of the game. Everyone but thirty of them, the thirty players. In a game where Werewolves killed Villagers and Villagers killed Werewolves, Emily had to find her allies from her enemies amongst the people she had always known. On that fateful morning, Emily started playing a game with herself and her first love, her best friend, her best friend's brother, with the child she'd babysat and the old man and woman she'd cared for her entire life. And she didn't know if she would survive, if they would survive, and above all, if they would deserve to.Complete
