Hello lovelies!
In my English class this year in year 9, we were meant to write a short story (1200-1500) words about a crime, written in the same form crime stories are usually written in. Personally, I had very few experiences with creative writing, which meant that i did not feel totally comfortable or easy writing this one, but i gave it by best shot.
So here it is! Please enjoy and don't forget to comment your opinions! :)
Cast:
Vera - wife or Mr Harold
Harold - husband of Vera
Fred - Vera's friend
Sir Lockhart - investigator
Bruce - sidekick of investigator
Mrs Chilton - neighbour
Michael - neighbour

To Warm Frozen Fingers // A Short Story Collection
I like to write. As you may be able to tell. I haven't been very good at writing lately. As you may also have been able to tell. That's why I've decided to write a short story collection. The stories won't interlink, some may vary wildly and you might even wonder if they were written by the same person (the answer is yes). Overall, I'm aiming to write 23 stories, which was one per day for 23 days but I failed at that (*seethes* college work...) so now I'm just aiming to finish it before winter is over! The stories won't be very long - I'm only allowed to write for 10 minutes per story, just to get me going again (and literally warm my fingers, I get really really cold fingers for some reason) and the most I've ever written in that time is around 500 words. If you want to check out all of the prompts in my challenge head over to my blog - hannahbanana98[at]wordpress[dot]com - and have a look. I hope you like the stories! Feedback is appreciated. :) Completed Feb 29th 2016. Thanks for reading. :DComplete

All Yours
"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
The unsolved love crime.
These short stories will be of mine and my friend's characters that we made to cosplay the videos are on YouTube. By day, the 2 main characters were the city's most celebrated detectives, unraveling the darkest mysteries with unnerving precision. By night, they were something else entirely-killers, bound by a pact forged years ago when the lines between justice and vengeance blurred beyond recognition. This is also contained GAY lots and lots of gay (LESBIANS!!!! YAYAYA) If you don't like it you can just leave thenk you!! Please also let me know if you would like access to my youtube account so you can watch the videos involving these characters to get a better idea of what they look like. DISCLAMER: some of the videos will be similar to the story line but not the exact same. Credits to my friend as well who made one of these 2 characters LOVE YOU BESTIEEEE!!!
A Very Messy Business In Belgravia
*** OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2021 - HONORABLE MENTION *** The year is 1907, and Amalthea Huntley, Countess of Claremont, is bored. Recently widowed at a young age, she finds very little to entertain her in Edwardian London, until an unusual turn of events at a society party plants the seed of an idea. Lady detective? Why not? It would only be a hobby after all. Lending her considerable powers of observation to some of her closer acquaintances to help resolve their more sensitive issues. After all, what could be so difficult? An instance of minor household theft here, a brief indiscretion there. And it would serve to pass the time. Yes, she resolved. With some careful thought, she was sure she could pull it off, and it would certainly liven things up. Little did Amalthea know that she had bitten off far more than she could chew, when she suddenly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous murder investigation, her only ally being an attractive but rather disagreeable private investigator with a secretive past and a strong dislike for opinionated women. Still, if she wasn't careful, she could find that the biggest threat to her latest diversion was not the case at all, but rather an unexpected something, or someone, a little closer to home. This story is dedicated to Dickie, who acted as my consultant in all things historical. Highest Rankings: #1 historicalmystery (March 2021) #1 crimeromance (March 2021)Complete

Hate Loving You | COMPLETED
❝ I love to hate you; because if I don't, then I will hate to love you. ❞ (PLEASE note that this was my first work and is unedited. I've greatly matured in my writing and please don't judge me on the basis of this piece of work. Read at your own behest.) ~ "You know....." he whispered seductively. "People would die to see us together." Huh, as if. "Too bad their dreams won't ever come true." I leaned forward and gave him a sorry look. "Ever." I added with a sharp edge and narrowed my eyes. He smirked. I stood my ground. But I could still feel my cheeks take up a slight pink. It also made me think if Sam was my only mysterious problem. But I knew better. ~ They're arch-enemies. One popular, friendly girl and a hugely dangerous secret. One popular, arrogant guy and a dark deadly secret. One ruined relationship. Two entwined secrets. They hate. They bite. They prank. They fight. But above all.....they deny. When popular and handsome Sam Drew Lockhart and just as much of his equal regarding arrogance and sarcasm, Lea Olsen Summers, find themselves at their usual revenge crossroads, sparks weren't meant to go off. They never did in the last three years, so why would they now? With a mystery to unravel and a dangerous and mysterious stalker hot on her heels, Lea finds herself in a tight spot. What she thought would be easy, soon turned into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Feeling history repeat itself, Sam isn't really willing to let everything, including Lea, go easily. Even if his secrets are in danger of being revealed. Now despite all this happening, was friendship; let alone love, still an option for these two? That too, when more than a few guys were willing to fight for Lea's affections? Read to find out. And trust me........ You want to. ~ (Please proceed by clicking on the READ button and do vote and comment! Slowly being Edited. PS: This is a work of fiction, please don't copy it.

Are you ok? " Detective Beck asks. I couldn't manage to answer her. Millions of thoughts flooded my head. Memories after memories. The fights. "I need you to confirm her Identity, Aaron."
