It was late summer when I came bursting through the shaded, blue door. "Mum, Dad guess what I just discovered!" I yelled, excited.
"Let me guess; a moss, green treasure chest filled with pearl necklaces?" Mum laughed.
"No, even better!" I called back, longing to finally tell them about my discovery of the rock pools.
I begged and pleaded and by 6:00pm that night, Mum and Dad finally gave in. They had decided to go to the rock pools; we could look out at the huge, turquoise blue ocean and snorkel for the whole afternoon.
So it started that day, the 14th of February 2012.
I entered this story in the John Monash Short Story Comptetion in 2013, year six. Please comment and vote! Also feel free to have a look at my other books. By the way, it's very short but after all it was entered in a short story competition! Thanks, minlovestoread

Untold thoughts - Between us (WinTeam)
Win wanted to go home, the seniors told everyone that swim practise was canceled. So why? Why was the light on at the pool? No one was supposed to be in there. He thought, he just forgot to turn them off and went inside to quickly turn them off, but what was that? Someone was inside the pool, drowning deep inside. He jumped in to see it was Team. He did his best, but... was he too late? How could that happen? The story takes place after Team almost drowned in the pool, just that Win was not fast enough. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster. This is my first fanfiction since... 2014? (I started writing Fanfiction around 2011?) Don't be too harsh to me and give me time for new chapters. :)Complete

The Runaway Sister
standalone ~ mafia siblings series "You can't make me stay here! I will get an emancipation." I yell. Flashbacks of the gun in my hand, the almost-dead boy. I shudder.

The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom
For those who love to adventure... This STUNNING debut novel will captivate your imagination and immerse you in its magical, fantasy world. My name is Rose and I have a question for you. Have you ever been transformed into a horse or a unicorn? How about a dragon or an eagle or even a dolphin for that matter? Have you ever been transported into a strange new world? Well let me tell you, it's AMAZING!! It all started when I began dreaming about a house when I was eight years old. I told my mum and dad about it and they showed me an old photograph of the house for real that they had kept hidden away from me since I was a baby. That was when they told me I was adopted. I wasn't really shocked or upset. It was like somehow I had always known. Fast forward five years and we stayed in that very same house. That was where we found the cave in the woods and more importantly, the crystals buried inside it that we took back to the house. Now that would have been the end of it under normal circumstances; if this was just a normal wood that we had walked through; and if we had just found a normal cave, with normal crystals. But the truth was it was not a normal wood, it was not a normal cave and the crystals we had found most certainly were not just any old crystals. In fact, that night, something amazing started to happen. A soft glow started to appear from one of the crystals in a corner of the garden and covered us, before gradually transforming each of us into magical animals. Then we started floating one by one up into the sky, inside the beam of light. This is the story of what happened next and how I discovered The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom.Complete
The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
