Deep in the Arizona desert live a girl and her dad, burying secrets--and bodies.

                                                                      *****

Mesa Kingston's first memory of burying a corpse was at eight years old. Back then it had been the carcass of a large lizard her dad found that they buried in the backyard of their isolated cottage. At age fourteen, the body of a young lady accompanied the reptile's remains, and ever since, an accumulation of female bodies began to grow. Now, the only way Mesa can stop the haunting screams of the dead is by drowning them out with flames. Or is there more to the blaze than even she can perceive?

                                                                      *****

** Trigger warning for survivors of abuse for final chapter.

Everything Hurts بقلم analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

Shadows of Kingston بقلم AutumnLeighxo

Leilani Kingston thought she escaped her past. Years ago, her world shattered in one brutal night-her family was murdered, and her brother was wrongfully imprisoned for the crime. She's spent years hiding in the shadows, running from the ghosts of her past and the unknown forces that still want her dead. But when she crosses paths with Samael, a ruthless underground fighter and feared gang leader, everything changes. Beneath his hardened exterior, Samael sees something in Leilani no one else does-a girl who steals his heart, along with his instinct to protect at any cost. Enter Phoenix, Samael's fiercest rival and a brutal fighter with an agenda of his own. He wants to see Samael fall. But when Leilani becomes the target of a deadly threat, alliances shift, and enemies are forced to unite. Can Samael and Phoenix put their hatred aside long enough to keep Leilani alive? Or will the demons of her past-and the war between these two fighters-destroy her first?

Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novel

Her بقلم cianafaven

Phoenix LeFlore: She is alive. Her brother is dead. People are moving forward. She is standing still. He was everything. Now she has nothing. Aza Ainsworth: She is a soft girl who acts tough. She is a warm girl who was treated coldly. Someone made her heart beat faster, then broke it. Can a broken heart help a broken soul? _____ Girl meets girl. Girl doesn't like girl. Then girl likes girl. Could she like her back? Two girls. One story. _____ "I like: The soft side underneath her tough side. Her mind. Her wit. Her cute awkwardness. The way she bites her nails. The way she dresses, like a 90s character, like someone in a movie. The way she smells, like mint, spicy but sweet, like her personality. Her green, serious, sexy eyes. Her laugh. Her name. Her hand in my hand. The stars on her face. The X on the back of her neck. I want to make her laugh all day, want to say her name, whisper it, scream it. Phoenix. I want to hold her hand, want to kiss all the stars on her face, and want to cherish the X on the back of her neck. I want to cherish her. I don't like: Phoenix."

Demon Hunter (Male Reader x OC(s) ) بقلم DarkSoulsz

If I wanted to drop a pin on the timeline of my life, to point exactly where everything went to shit I'd say that when the line between reality and dreams started to blur. I was seeing things, I am still seeing things that only the most disturbed of minds could conjure. They are nothing but illusions, yet they were so real to me that it felt like it wasn't my imagination. I felt as if I was actively peering into a world that was waiting to invite me in. That's when my world went topsy-turvy. The line that separated the horrors of my mind from the sanctity of reality was erased, and the monsters were let in.

The Heart of the Sea- A supernatural thriller بقلم KelceyWinn

"Are you sure you want to know what I am talia?" Jason spoke. The huskiness in his words made her toes curls. She swallowed hard. She'd had the nerve on the drive here. Even gave her self pep talks to be able to confront him. But looking at his bare torso, and those pale grey eyes against his dark skin made her mouth dry and the grip on her book slack. He licked his lips, "do you really want to know?" Talia squared her feet and met his gaze.
