Prompt #109
A professor realises a student's mystery stories mirror real missing persons cases in town and the newest one points to them.
******
A record-breaking winter shuts down Massachusetts. Classes move online. Roads ice over. And people begin to disappear.
Emma Remington studies narrative ethics at an elite college where crime is discussed as theory. Her professor encourages all students to be creative.
Emma delivers until her writing starts aligning too closely with real events unfolding beyond campus.
What begins as an academic exercise becomes something else entirely.
As missing persons cases multiply and the storm isolates the town, Emma is forced to confront a question she's spent her life avoiding: when does observation become complicity?
And what happens when the wrong person is paying attention?

Hit Rewind
Time heals all wounds. When you have the power to rewind it, you begin to wonder whether it's too much responsibility for one person to hold. ***** Sometimes, walking away is the scariest, yet the bravest thing one can do. Iris Fox would know; after returning to the coastal town of Emelle Bay, Oregon, and finding her life in shambles, it's hard to ignore the voice in the back of her head that beckons her to stay. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and Iris finds herself drawn to the heartbreaking reminders of how it all went wrong. Echoes of unfinished business and painful memories wash up, awakening the dormant power to rewind time, and Iris realizes she has a choice to make--she can either use her power to try and fix what has been stolen from her, rewriting her past, present, and future, or she can tuck the past where it belongs. Either way, there's only one conclusion. All actions have consequences. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 33, & 54 [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2024 ROUND 1 AMBASSADORS' PICK, LONGLISTER & SHORTLISTER]] [[THE AMBYS 2025 AMBASSADOR'S PICK IN CONTEMPORARY NOVELLA]] © 2024 caterina george // all rights reservedComplete

Firstly, Lexi is a closeted gay to her sister and mother, unable to out herself to Callie in fear that she won't do the list with her. And Callie... well, she only has one leg.

𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺 When a sentient shooting star crash lands into Carolina Callista's gardens claiming that a great danger is coming, she doesn't quite know what to think. Especially not when the star -- who answers to the name Whimsy -- is unlike any moonchild she has ever met before. Soon enough, Caroline is utterly transfixed. But it'll take more than the pair's growing connection to save the moonchildren from what's to come. Which just begs the question: what sort of magic does it take to banish monsters born from nightmares? DISCLAIMER: 100% of this work belongs to duckywritez.
