I got down on my hands and knees, the grass poking me and the leaves sticking to my hands and pants. As I crawled through, it felt as though I was entering a forbidden castle...one that hadn't been entered in years. I stood up and brushed the leaves and grass from my clothes. Taking in my surroundings, I saw a haunted house before me.
Most people would leave it alone, but I was a curious person. I had entered the beyond, and I would explore it.
I pushed the door open and walked in.
A 2-part short story I'm writing based on the Owl City song Plant Life. Kind of a mini-writing challenge.

"Can I give you a hug?" Is it possible to want and not want something at the same time? "Please?" he insists and I nod. He approaches me and my breathing becomes irregular, our bodies are too close. He doesn't hug me. Instead, his hands touch mine, brushing my skin. My fingers caress his. His head comes closer to me and rubs his nose gently on my neck, making me shiver. I hear him inhale, and I close my eyes. I can feel his warm breath on my skin and I'm already on fire. "You realize that I've never wanted anything so much in my life." I feel his lips brush my neck and go up to my ear. I sigh. "Peter ..." I manage to say. "Don't do that. Don't moan my name like that or I won't be able to pull away," he whispers in my ear and then he gently bites it. My hands squeeze his. *** Kelly, a female player, has to resist a boy for the first time in her life in order to stop getting into trouble like she always did. But he's so hard to resist.

If you have questions about, don't hesitate to ask. The roof crashed down at the speed of lightning, crushing me under the table as I gasped for air. My mind scrambling to process what had happened as I felt rubble falling around me, surrounding me in darkness. I reached up, my arm stinging as I hit the hard wood table over me, which was keeping the rubble off me, miraculously. I wiped my forehead, sweat, and probably blood dripping down my arm and side of head as I reached for a nearby rock, trying to push on it, hoping that it might help me out of this disaster. "Mom? Betty?" I called, hoping for a response, only to get none. I didn't even get the slightest whimper from any of them. What the heck happened? "Mom?! Betty?!" I screamed this time, trying to push myself up onto my back, my leg killing me so much that I had to give up. I laid back down on the ground, placing my hand on the bottom of the table; anger, fear, confusion getting the best of me. I screamed as I banged my fists on the wood table. "MOM? BETTY?" Nothing. I was ready to bang on the wood again, but I flinched back when I heard the sound of moving rubble. Whoever it is was almost near where I was, and ... moving quickly. So, there's no possible way that it was a human. It would take hundreds do men to lift these boulders, but whoever this person is, is stronger than anyone I would kn- My thoughts froze as I watched something large wrap around the edges of the table, lifting it up; my eyes widening as I came face to face with the largest creature known to mankind. A giant. (This is my book from my own brain. These are my own characters based off my family members. Please do not steal it.)Complete

A gifted ballet dancer, an early high-school graduate, and a girl with a carefully planned future, Elise believes she knows exactly where her life is headed-until one rejection leaves her questioning everything she's worked for. Then she meets Nolan. He's confident, ambitious, and seemingly determined to challenge every belief Elise has about herself. What begins as an unexpected friendship slowly becomes something neither of them planned for, and for the first time, Elise begins to wonder what it feels like to be wanted simply for who she is. But life has a way of changing the plans we cling to most. When one unexpected moment forces Elise to grow up faster than she ever imagined, the future she once feared losing becomes the least of her worries. Caught between ballet, family, love, and a decision that will change everything, Elise must learn that being unwanted by someone doesn't mean she is unwanted by the world. Sometimes, the life you never planned becomes the one worth fighting for.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.
