Quiet streets.. Dim lights, shadows crawl..
Crows chirp, the squeaky gate of the cemetery pierces your eardrums.
No one can understand the mystery, apart from one boy.. He's the key to everything...

UNTOUCHABLE
In a town veiled in secrets, the rules are simple: don't touch, don't ask questions, and never, ever look back. When a curious outsider breaks the first rule, he finds himself plunged into a chilling nightmare. Guided by a mysterious girl who seems to know too much, he must navigate a labyrinth of darkness, whispers, and shadows that feel almost alive. But as the whispers close in and the shadows take shape, one question looms above all-what are "they"? And is escape even possible, or has he been claimed by the town's sinister curse? If you'd like, we can make edits to fit the exact tone you're going for. What do you think?

My classmate is a demon...
------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile. "You okay? Did you hit your head or somethin'?" I tease. "Shut up." ------------------------- Olivia, a 16-year-old girl with a tragic past. Her sister was kidnapped and brutally killed, her father comes up with the brilliant idea of moving. As she's getting settled in school, she meets this mysterious boy, and before she knows it she is dragged into hell. Literally.

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete
