At the end of their lives, their story begins.
Death gathers the souls of seven seemingly unconnected people in The Land of Deceased to give them a rare opportunity. Death will reveal to them the truths of these tragic and untimely deaths. He will give them closure and understanding and reveal to them the truth of how our souls survive.

The Dragon Kings and the Prophecy [SAMPLE]
The is now a SAMPLE ONLY. The story will continue EXCLUSIVELY on AnyStories. "Hello little one" came a booming voice, deep and sultry that made my stomach flutter like wings of a butterfly. "My Lord" I replied, keeping my head down, a quick curtesy, and eyes glued to the floor as if the marble tile was the most interesting pattern in the room. The auras coming from the dragon king was so demanding I felt like I could pass out. "Look at me little one. We do not bite. Much." the voice commanded, although gently it held power. A few snickers softly resonated. I took a breath and gently rose my eyes to meet the most beautiful golden eyes. I was so entranced that I almost didn't hear the one word that was going to change my life forever. Little did I know just how much my life was about to change. "MATE." It took me a minute to register what just happened. Excuse me? Did i just hear the word mate? Oh shit. -------- Everly lives in a world where supernatural creatures live side by side humans.

A GODDESSES PARADISE (girlxgirlxgirl)
The sight shocks her. It shocks her more than someone should shock a girl from a small conservative village, far from society. Girls are everywhere, literally. They are walking through the mess of small marble bridges and paths, holding hands and whispering to each other. They are swimming inside big pools of water, the ones that the bridges cross over, playing around or even worse, kissing. They are seated by the pools, kissing, making out, staring at the other girls and laughing --- Irene finds herself stranded on an island, looking for her lost brother, only to find a whole city only for women. When she is taken to the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, everything changes. But who will she ultimately fall in love with?

Her last Letters
Last words. What exactly are they? Are they the secrets one wanted to reveal? Are they the apologies one never made? Are they the promises one will never break? Are they the words one could never say? Are they the goodbye's one never had the time or heart to say face to face? Are they one's gratitude for a lovely life? Or are they about the pain one felt? The anger one never expressed? The fears one never faced? The answers are many... Point is what do you believe in? And as for me, I believe Last Words are heart felt confessions. Whatever the person says, it comes from their heart. And when it's suicide, the last words are the words the person has always wanted to say but was stopped by some or the other kind of fear. _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* This is story of a young 17 year old sweet girl with the heart of gold. This is a story of a girl named Anna who, unfortunately, lost herself while fighting to survive. This is a story of a girl who committed suicide. Wondering why? All you have to do to quench your thirst is to read this story. "Her Last Letters" _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* WARNING- This story contains triggering words.Complete

Walking Into Black
Don't fear death. It does nothing for you. Death is at every turn; the challenge is if you choose to accept it or not. Don't fear pain. Pain is how you learn. Pain is the side-effect of life. If you live life fearing getting hurt...can you truly live life fully? I've felt pain. I've accepted death. I've lived, I've learned, I've drowned a few times. If all I have to show for it is small bundles of letters and words...so be it. That's more than I could have ever hoped for. Everything that means anything to me are just words. You can put anything into words. Anything and everything. You can put death into words. You can put pain into words. You can put fear into words. And I have. And you can read them, if you want. You can learn from them; learn to stop fearing, learn to stop living in the future, behind your mask. But only if you care enough to listen. I speak loud and clear, yet nobody can hear me. I am not hidden, yet nobody can find me. If they even try.Complete

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series)
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close.
