Bucketlist Stories

Carton is a young cancer patient living out the final months of his life with a quiet acceptance that both comforts and terrifies him. Determined not to let his remaining time slip away in hospital walls, he creates a bucket list-small, strange, and deeply personal goals meant to make him feel alive again. Item number seven is simple but unpredictable: call a random number. When Carton finally gathers the courage to complete it, the call connects him to Elias, a stranger whose voice carries warmth, curiosity, and an unexpected willingness to stay on the line. What begins as an awkward, one-time conversation slowly turns into a daily ritual. Through late-night calls and shared stories, the two begin to open up about their fears, dreams, and the parts of themselves they usually hide. As Carton's condition worsens, their connection deepens into something neither of them planned for love. But with time slipping away, both are forced to confront a painful question: can something so fleeting still be meaningful enough to last?

Dulce is a teenager dealing with typical teen struggles and living her life in a notably pathetic way. But all that changes the day she gets wasted and wakes up the next morning with the discovery that she's committed herself to something way bigger than she can handle. Now, she has to face all her fears, and complete the list of things she wants to do before she turns 18- all the things she's always dreamed of doing as a teenage but never actually had the guts to try . The one person who promised to help her pull it off is Nyx, a mysterious and stunning girl she met at a party. Dulce has a choice: keep living her life as it is-and likely end up dying alone as a granny surrounded by cats, or finally take a leap and give herself a real chance at changing. This is a story about self-discovery and the beautiful mess called "adolescence": from never ending overthinking, rock-bottom self-esteem, and social anxiety, to failed hangouts with friends, explosive outbursts, messy romance, and the kind of dreams only teenagers are crazy enough to dream. Triggers: overthinking, broken humor, high levels of sarcasm and sheer patheticness. Consider yourselves warned!

People always tell me I have a wrinkled brain full of the weirdest ideas and thoughts of the world around me. I used to stare at my mother when I was three, like the people from horror movies who are possessed by demons. While other children were scared of the boogeyman under the bed I feared the tree outside. Now that I think back maybe it wasn't the tree. Maybe it was what could hang in it. I'm not scared of that tree anymore because I know I won't hang in it. No. I'd prefer a different death. One you can find on the school rooftop. There's just one problem. My bucket list. I have to finish it before I die. How am I going to do that alone? That's when I met Lorenzo. I knew of him and his status as school bully but the first time I really met him was on the school rooftop where we had the conversation that saved my life...

Someone notice. Someone please notice. Anyone. Anything. Everything. She begged invisibly, silent screams shooting from her bleeding lips as she threw anxious glances towards strangers who stole them without a care. Her blood was alive, but her body was dormant. Her brain sent shock waves to the heart, breaking it piece by piece as shards of ruby lodged their way into her veins. Strangers walked by...unnoticing...preoccupied...robotic. She stood on the slight hill of the yellow line, scruffing green stains from her pearly white shoes...the grass always was greener on the other side. She had survived for so long. Silently. Successfully. She didn't want to stop...but there was no other choice. No. There was never a choice. She wanted to live...to explore...to see, what she could be. The only thing stopping her were these people. These strangers, who walked through her like a poltergeist, an angry, confused and wicked presence they disregarded from their lives. The thing adults were always most scared of...their past selves. The poltergeists of their adolescence. Spirits of long before, the times in their lives they wanted to miss. The reality was, she was a ghost. Was alive, and would be dead. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amelia has a regret: she's tired of living.
