POV: A Shadow's Perspective
Let me introduce myself.
I'm a shadow. Yes, that shadow. The inky thing that clings to your heels, lurks behind you when the sun's out, and occasionally makes creepy hand puppets when you're bored during PowerPoint presentations.
I'm assigned to a human named Greg.

Single-Blind ⇥ Newt (TMR)
"So when did you- you know- fall in love with her?" Thomas smirked, knowing he had him right where I wanted him, with his head in Fionaland. "Woah," Newt defeated with his hands up, "What?" "I may be slow to getting to know things around here, but I'm not that slow." Tommy chuckled, "I mean I'm pretty sure half the camp has a crush on her but you're fifty shades of complicated." He rubbed the back of his neck, "You keep surprising me, Greenie. It's... just history now." He played absentmindedly with his fingers. "Why do you ask? You uh... have a thing for her?" "Gally would happily filet me if I did." I joked. He laughed but didn't seem fully at ease. "No. I don't have a thing for her, she's a friend." He nodded, with a silent radiant of pleasure. I broke and asked him about her, "Is it really history? I mean... ever since I noticed you two together now I can't stop noticing it. She walks into a room and I feel like I have to remind you to breathe." He pulled a chair over and straddling the back of it. "You know when you're running through the maze and you're almost finished, you can see the glade and you have all this built up adrenaline? You're sore, tired, sweaty but you still feel the last bit of energy to get you home? That's what I feel whenever I'm around her. It's like every nerve in my body wants to wrap around her but I also teetering on the verge danger that would come with that." "Why does she hate your guts so bad then?" -- #1 in #MAZERUNNER #1 in #NEWT -- Enemies to Lovers because it is superior. You're welcome. Stop reading this and just read the damn book. Trust me, it's got some spice and a little bit of everything else. You can yell at me in the comments if you don't like it. Based of The Maze Runner, Scorch Trials, and Death Cure movies.
Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete![Can I Stay The Night?

Perpendicular to Reality (Halloween Short Stories)
Short stories for the spooky times. Could be scary, could be metaphorical, could be more comedic. Whatever I'm feeling like every October. Mirrors are spooky, but so is life. Whats scary? Cute little dogs or cute little children? Having a new baby scares me. Maybe some clown. They're pretty spoopy.
Welcome To My Life
I'm different, I've always known it. Rather it be because of my disbelief's or the way I keep my hair, people have always rejected me. I don't see things the way others do, in fact my best friend happens to be a fallen angle, and every time I sleep I meet a different fate. It depends on who I'm seeing that night or day where I end up, weather it be on a abandon swing set or a field of daises. All I've wanted was for someone who loves me for who I am, a love that not even my own father could give. Ps: some readers have had questions about the gender of the main character, Shade is a boy! His full name is Shadow Gray Dark! Aka Shade.Complete
Glader Girl
*Points at Gally* I LOVE HIM, YOUR HONOR! Gally does NOT get enough love, I stg, SMH. Plot: The first girl wasn't Theresa, it was me. I came up in the box, injured, with no memory, a necklace I don't recognize, and no trust for any of the boys around me. Except him. A Gally ship-fanfic. I try to blend both the books and the movies together, so it does follow the plot, but that isn't till waaaaaay later. This will all be one book. **Character notes: Gally- If you look up the WICKED files on Gally, it says he has Alpha tendencies, but I like movie Gally better, so that's how he'll be acting. There might be some dom. instances here and there, but they won't make up 100% of his personality. Newt- I AM A NEWTMAS SHIPPER, *FUCK YOU THERESA* But for plot, he has an attraction for the MC. It's nothing crazy, but it's relevant b/c I love the little cinnamon roll too. Alby & Minho- Again, I like the movie version of the characters, so the Gladers aren't assess lol.Complete
