"One day I go upstairs into the attic to clean some things up and explore through the ancient objects my parents keep up there."
"I stumble over a box while cleaning the old arm wall. I opened it up and came across a glass crystal looking key, with many other rugged papers. I look to the right of me and notice a small wooden door I've haven't seen before.
I grab the key slowly walking towards the mysterious door. I stuck the key in, waiting to see inside this unexpected entry that suddenly appeared.

The Playing Fields First Draft
The last thing Claire Fischer remembered before waking up in a strange field was her walking home from a party. The field has a supernatural air to it, a feeling enhanced by the clothing she finds in a strange trunk, and a note explaining the rules of the "game". Five humans. One monster. The humans need to find three key components to open a gate that leads to their freedom. Sounds simple enough, except the note didn't tell them what kind of monster would be stalking them, nor did it rule out the possibility of a changeling. Claire and her fellow abductees must unmask the monster, avoid it, and find the three components for their freedom.Complete
Whispered Legends
"In the depths of legend, where myth intertwines with history, the creatures of ancient tales have lived and evolved through the ages, each bearing a morality uniquely their own, shaped by the passage of time. Yet, beneath the shifting sands of centuries, the earliest accounts of these beings persist, and for good reason. Among these timeless legends, none stand as enigmatic and potent as the fairies. Their tales, once whispered in fear and awe, have taken on countless forms, their nature a puzzle both beautiful and dangerous. Now, in a world where such truths are relegated to myth, a young and insightful girl embarks on a journey that will unravel not only the existence of these beings but the hidden realities that lie beneath. With knowledge in her grasp and courage in her heart, she must uncover the fairies' true essence, and discover a way to face the ancient forces that have remained unseen for far too long. For the stories may have changed, but the creatures themselves remain, waiting. Written by RubyShards.
