For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine.  She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old.  No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks.  Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. 

Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away.  There's a little glitch this time.  The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally.  Everyone thinks she's just another runaway.  Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered.  Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone.  Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. 

Now the killer has set his sights on her.  It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister Kit

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.
