This novella will be for the 2025 ONC competition. I chose these two prompts:

88. Lately, your phone feels... off. It seems like it's watching you. At first, you dismiss it as paranoia. But one day, each message on your phone reads "I'm watching you."

104. While on vacation, you receive a cryptic message from an unknown sender, throwing your carefully planned itinerary into chaos.

Blair Evermore: a simple kid with a complicated life. With a brother that would do anything for her and two FBI agents for parents, she doesn't have the safest life. She was never the first to volunteer her parents for career day, and "bring your child to work" was a foreign concept. But she liked it that way. She didn't know any different. Blair was content with the way things were, because even though they were distant, she always knew her parents loved her. But all that changed on her nineth birthday. That's when she experienced the hardest year anyone could imagine. One month that felt like a lifetime. A week full of tears and sorrow. And one day that changed her life forever. October 27th, the day her parents died. Killed during a last-minute undercover job, Amanda and Bryan Evermore were prepared for the inevitable. That didn't make it any easier for their children though. Grayson and Blair's whole world turned upside down. Neither of them knew what to do, but they coped the best they could. Now, seven years later, Grayson is missing. Without any leads or witnesses, the FBI is having trouble finding him. That was until Blair got involved. With a letter from her parent's murderers, another from Grayson's potential kidnappers, and a whole lot of will power, she leads her new-found FBI buddies through riddles, secrets, and puzzles, gathering as much information as they can to get justice for her family. She knew exactly what she was going to do once they found the people who destroyed her all those years ago. She would make them pay. But sometimes what we plan doesn't always work out quite right. ************************* Started:1/1/2023 Finished: 9/26/2024 © 2023 Taylor Sassone Cover by my amazing sister @owlhootsburger13

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.
