The Shrinker by PSGusto1926

On her 16th birthday, abandoned outcast Jamie Cooper gets three surprise gifts. The first is the awakening of a long dormant power inside her; she is an incomplete size-shifter, with a near limitless talent for shrinking whatever she wants, but a total inability to grow a thing or restore anything shrunken. The second is an unexpected first meeting with a new transfer student on their first day of sixth form school, with whom she falls in love. The third are nightmarish visions of a sadistic, remorseless size-shifter with an obsession for cannibalism and a power far greater than hers. As the year goes on, the small town of Vorford is hit by a series of sudden disappearances, giving rise to fears of a serial killer within it. Faced with constant internal and outward struggles, Jamie must decide between her morals or her desires, pushing her into a final shattering choice everyone's lives depend on. ***** [Word Count: 110,000] **THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT FORMAT, AND IS 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT WORK, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

"You should have known me better than this, little sparrow," He chuckled deeply, his gaze fixed on me. "Lucas please!" I cried, now stopped by the wall as my heart beats faintly. "Don't worry it's just a little game, you and I will play, you'll love it, little sparrow," He smirked. I knew this was a trick, Ben lied when he said he wouldn't hurt me and I stupidly fell into the trap. Now, I was alone with him and in his room. I think this is the time for me to announce my funeral... "Strip!" His cold voice snapped me out,as he stared at me with a deadpan expression while I gazed at him in ultra shock. *********************************** Camilla Evans is a gentle nerd in her finals at Watermark Highschool.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Code Obliteration (Preview) by LiAWake

Only those passionate can survive the firewall. Matt, John, Clarke, and Rose make up a group of friends who've never met in person but share a bond as if they have from spending the last year together in the virtual world on the cusp of obliteration. A year ago, virtual reality had blossomed into a haven for young adults to connect, play, and explore life together. What drove the sudden popularity was a game fueled by players' desires, where they could embody anyone or anything. The four friends were some of the first drawn into this captivating world, their virtual personas becoming well known. But nothing could have prepared them for the sudden emergence of the firewall, a mystery that would change everything. Now, with three days left, four friends have to make what lasting memories they can while avoiding the gaping maw of the firewall when not navigating their lives outside the game. Still, a question looms, with an answer seemingly out of reach. Is there a way to stop the firewall's advance and avoid obliteration, or will this be the end of their friendship? Obliteration's Countdown is a story told from multiple character perspectives.

Every Little Thing by SueLou66

Mallory finds herself brokenhearted when she loses the love of her life in a tragic accident. She's left to pick up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend, Kendall. Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broken heart when something unexpected happens; she comes face to face with Dr. Samuel Daniels. Will she find love again, or will her grief blind her from her second chance at love and happiness? *** "Kendall is under the illusion that you're in love with me. Can you believe that? I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards 🥇 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards 🥈 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards 🥈

The Best Friend Equation by thunderbird999

Aria Matthews is in love with her best friend, Lucas Miller. It is the best kept secret since Area 51 and she knows she would take it to the grave. But things start changing in her senior year of high school when another of her friends takes it upon herself to set Aria up with the captain of the football team, who, incredibly, seems to be interested in her as well. And she doesn't understand why Lucas suddenly grows a stick up his butt about the whole dating deal. Sometimes it just takes a nudge to knock down years of carefully laid plans like the blocks of a Jenga tower. And sometimes, just sometimes, deeper and darker secrets are waiting to be exposed.

[Book One of The Phantom Saga] PG18+ Status: Completed [August 2, 2020]/Editing In Process "Daddy, where're you going? You're all dressed up and you have luggage. You're not coming back, are you?" The brunette man, with brown eyes of two different shades, looks down at his seven year old child. She hasn't stepped foot in a school before, but she has made herself out to be a genius and he knows this. Still, he tries to convince her, lying through his drug decaying teeth, "Daddy will be back soon, don't worry." Alessia narrows her gaze of chocolate brown and sky blue, telling him flatly, "No. Don't come back." Mentally forsaken from the moment she learned to think for herself, Alessia Sterling strives for only herself, no matter what comes her way. At least, that's what she had planned, until a man, powerful enough to sway her young mind, claims her as his own and she looks up to him as her saviour. Along the road of her new life, she meets others, forsaken like her, but none could compare to her. And she meets a blind boy who sees. "Run away with me." He bites out, clicking his tongue. Caught between following her saviour's alluring words and hearing the concerned boy who's speaking of freedom, she has to choose, quickly. Make a choice before things escalate to a point... "ALEXA!" She whips around and her eyes go wide with terror. ...of no return. Warning: The WHOLE story MAY be triggersome.
