A lizard trapped in the monotony of his life encounters strange food that grants him a gift greater than he dared hope for.
The story experiments with narrative voice growth over a short period, starting simple and building up to an in-depth account of the narrator's new experiences. Along with it, a fabel-esque message meant not to discourage effort or growth, but to acknowledge that there are limits to what we can achieve.

Stolen Pages
~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters.

"Ma, she's gonna take me! Help me hide!" ⚠️THIS BOOK HAS DEATH, BLOOD AND GORE, VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED ⚠️ Whisker doesn't like change. He wouldn't ever want to be away from his home. His siblings, his owner, his mother. His life is perfect. But like most cats, once a kitten is born and grown up, they need to go, find a new home, start a new life. Whiskers siblings are thrilled with the idea of a new adventure, however Whisker is not. He never wants to leave his home. But you can't stop change, especially when it's forced against you. A strange woman decided to choose Whisker for something, and Whiskers mother and siblings assumed that she would take him away to be her housecat. Whisker doesn't understand why it has to be him, out of the three. But you can't stop change. Especially when it's forced against you. No matter how hard you try to get away, you just can't. Whisker learned that the hard way, especially when his new loving home isn't so loving at all. It's not even a home. Whisker would define it as a prison. Where does Whisker live now? What will happen to him? What's the point of this book? READ TO FIND OUT!! Also there's so much more I wanna say for this but I can't cuz it will spoil everything so like yeah.

The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist]
*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting. [minimal changes] The plot will generally be the same, I'm just removing some plot holes and grammatical inconsistencies* #974 dysotopian - out of 1.8k stories #442 science fiction - out of 5.9k storiesLengkap
The Suggestion Box, Vol. 4: A to Z Challenge
Back in June, I decided to take the "A to Z Challenge", which usually involves writing something centered around one word corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. It being a short story challenge, occurring weekly, I decided to "up the ante" to incorporate the rules of a Suggestion Box list (Name, Place, Time, and Object) and turn it into the next iteration of this series! Forthwith, I went through every letter of the alphabet and tried to look back over any previous story that I'd written (except the fanfiction) to find characters whose names began with each letter. Most of the time, I could find a character from a previous Suggestion Box installment (so be sure and check out the referred "original stories", always noted at the beginning of the tale!) but I also took the opportunity to use characters from other unfinished novels, and even a few opportunities for tie-in stories to my published novella, "Princess of Undersea."Lengkap

*complete & edited* Please don't go by my writing on this book, I was fresh on this platform and had no idea what I was doing Eve Madison tries to do everything she can to help her struggling parents.

That is until Damien Westwood comes along. Damien and his three brothers owns Atlanta's number one auto body shop. He's been heartbroken but is willing to try again for his mom sake. When he happens to see Eve in the shop with his younger brother, he wants her and won't stop til he has her. She wants Daminen, but her priorities are her main concern. He fell hard for his Evie baby, and no one fucks with what's his. Follow Damien and Eve as they face a crazy ex and a stalker who just doesn't get it. * "I'm going through a lot right now, with family and all. There wouldn't be any time. That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content. I don't drag out feelings for two people who care for each other. This is a fictional story so some info may not be accurate. Enjoy!Lengkap
