Oliver has always been different. After being abandoned by his parents and left with his bohemian aunt, he wondered why they left. But, when he reached the age of nine he began to realize, he could see people who weren't actually there. Now, he wasn't crazy. He was blessed with a curse. All his life he'd seen ghosts. They were usually his only companion, so by the time he reached his teen years he was thoroughly isolated. 

After being kicked out of his third school within a year, Oliver and his aunt move. With the amount of troubled spirits that linger there, Oliver knows he's going to be busy. Soon, though, he finds a darker secret hidden behind the mass of ghosts that contact him. With a new crush, possible friends, and a great danger, Oliver honestly doesn't know if he'll make it to his nineteenth birthday.

The Tragedy of Eden's Gate

14 parts Complete

When a dark situation leads Theo to the quiet village of Eden's Gate, where the residents are odd and the pool of friends severely lacking, he's less than thrilled. The town is a miserable means to an end. And, to make matters even worse, he's pretty sure the house is haunted. Cold spots, flickering lights, a shadow that won't stop following him- a recipe for a haunting, and for a complete disaster. Sam is a vengeful spirit, cursed to walk the halls of his own murder scene for the rest of eternity, doomed to an afterlife of dismal solitude. And then his favourite resident goes and dies, the house is given to new people, and Sam discovers - quite by accident - that the boy sleeping in his room can see him. And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. - Open Novella Contest 2023 - Prompt 23: "They were not real, everyone told me they were not real. But why are they here? Why are they trying to talk to me? Why are they calling me the ONE? Why are they staring at me like that?" ───── • ⋆⋅⛧⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 40,000 words Disclaimer: this story contains themes that some readers may find distressing relating to death and mention of domestic abuse.
