[Short story]
You could call me morbid, but sometimes the idea of death excites me. Which is why I spend my days making cupcakes in this sweet bakery, not distracted by the ideas of love or boys or even somewhat appealing death, some may say I'm suicidal? No. It's something different. I've just got a sweet craving for some dark things. At times I feel like I might explode with this desire? You know? But stuff like the outcome of a dirty apron and sore muscles from endlessly cooking is a better sort of idea, I bury those thoughts away, I don't want to be seen as the clueless teen who falls for love at every corner-on those summer holidays where the right guy appears. I think of that as cliche, But maybe I am wrong, and maybe I was wrong. Because Gage came along and everything changed.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
