Just imagine peacefully minding your own business at your office-working tirelessly to get a promotion-and bam, you die without even seeing your brother's wedding. Talk about a plot twist. And then, just to add insult to injury, you get reincarnated into a RPG game? Life was not messing around with its plot twists, was it? Not to mention, now the hero and the villain are coming after you? You, the normal, non-magical office worker who was just trying to get a pay raise. That's a dramatic way to start a story! And you ended up in an RPG game? With heroes and villains? Sounds like a wild ride you didn't sign up for. The question is, how are you gonna get yourself out of this mess without getting too entangled in the plot? Stay focused on your peaceful life and avoid those dangerous situations! And maybe try not to run into any more heroes or villains for a while. You've had enough excitement for one reincarnation. 😂👻🎮💥

Follies Of The Past by SixteenAgain

Irrespective of what the characters involved want, some stories are just meant to be! This is such a story, from times long gone. Vayu Pratap Singh, the young king of Sudhagadh, unexpectedly crosses paths with Harinakshi, the girl with a mysterious past and an uncertain future. What starts as a mild flirtation for him and a most unwelcome encounter for her, ends up blowing into a raging fire which lights up their eyes and hearts, and fuses their souls for an eternity. This story can be read as a stand alone or as a prequel to my already published novel 'The Folly of Love'. It is a past-life story of the Sameer and Naina from 'The Folly of Love'. Please note all the characters, places and situations in this story are a work of fiction and any resemblance to reality is only incidental. * Important * If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Eleven Shorts +1 by ShireenJeejeebhoy

Eleven short stories, posted one story at a time: Two little girls, in two different eras, yearning for their parents. A shy girl in a new country. An uncertain woman dancing back into life after the death of a spouse. A thrilling short short. Mother and son argue over what is dignity, what value her life. A creepy little short that won an honourable mention in the Hart House Short Story Contest. The bureaucrat and his ever-so-busy day. A party that glitters and excludes ones who don't fit. A daughter rebels. A mother and her youngest, a conflict without end, that only death can solve? Murder stalks the homeless in Toronto's innocent streets. I hope you enjoy these stories! The ePub and Kindle versions include a bonus romance, written in 1919 by my grandmother, about two people who have to face danger to find each other. There's a story in that: My mother’s sister and mother liked to write poetry. My mother’s mother was a stellar speller and a killer Scrabble player. But I had no idea until recently that as an adolescent she had written and submitted stories for publication. I don’t think her queries were successful. And it wasn’t long before she got married and started riding the Wall of Death as a living with her husband. And so in honour of that century-ago effort of hers, I reproduced in the ePub, as she typed it errors and all (or what I suppose to be errors as grammar is different between countries and eras), the story my mother – her daughter – found recently in an old envelope postmarked from London 6:15 pm 23 SP 19 (23 September 1919) to Miss D. Searby. Purchase "Eleven Shorts +1" at Smashwords or Amazon to read it. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/82913 http://www.amazon.com/Eleven-Shorts-1-ebook/dp/B005ICFNWK Copyright 1988 to 2013.

The Tricolore by itmegritty1

The year is 2109. The West outlawed sports completely after the ten-year Bruins hockey dynasty caused the destructive riots of 2057. "People" have had no names since 2036, instead being identified by others using chips on the back of their heads. That is, until one person from a province known as Québec names himself Shea-Weber0600 and takes a stand. 33-year-old 0600 got his name and number from a gift his father gave him at his coming-of-age. It was a jersey, which had been made illegal, and 0600 found out that the person on the back had been named Shea-Weber. 0600 knows it's safer to keep the jersey hidden, but he doesn't. Instead, he starts a hockey team. He gathers other jerseys just like his and forms a team he decides to call the "Tricolore," French for three-colored, due to the three colors of the jerseys. The Tricolore set up shop at an abandoned arena, once the popular Centre Bell, and practice in front of thousands of people every week. One of the Tricolore is able to get the word out without notifying police, and soon, there are 32 teams in their new "league." The league lasts just a week before disaster strikes. Two Tricolore players are injured during the night, and forward Phillip-Danault0240 is found dead in his room, his throat slit. Who could have done this? Will the league survive and bring hockey back to the West? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 21k

The Boy She Saw in the Hospital by triciawritess

"Death isn't just one thing that happens and is over with. That description fits life more. Death is eternal. I mean that's how I view it. Death brings joy and pain. In my opinion life should be viewed as death is. The end. Death is the beginning. A new life, a fresh new start. Its beauty is unmatched. I imagine it feels like stars bursting, a million smiles and just pure happiness." Cancer. What a pain. Valerie's crippling illness leaves her hospitalised, bored out of her mind, dreaming of how she just wants to be a normal teenager. Although her thoughts are constantly intruded by someone. The boy. She was intrigued by him, he visited everyday at the same time, 2:47pm. She wanted to know his story, why was he here? Is he visiting someone? Her curiosity overflowed her. Anyways, it didn't matter, for her illness was getting better and she could finally get back to school. Sophomore year. Gosh. She could finally be a normal teenager. Then she saw "him" in the school hallways. The boy. Although he seemed different, less warm, more cold. It was like he put up a façade and barricaded his true self. His true self being... the boy she saw in the hospital. 🥇First place in The Star Awards 🥇First place in The Ember Awards #24 in sadromance #15 in cancerpatient finished- 22/09/22
