I can't get the image of a beaten Tetsuya out of my mind. Could he be bullied? No it can't be, he's practically invisible... But there is no other explaination to this, Tetsuya has been acting strange lately as well. There was something off with him. If the way he moved didn't give the hint, then the wincing and slow reactions every now and then would. "Is there something wrong?" I ask following him, seeing his eyes widden for a moment then go back to the normal blank again in the next, as if it never happened. "It's not your problem anyway..." I was enraged, but Tetsuya left, not giving me a chance to threaten him or to pursue him further into telling me. Damn it Tetsuya! I will find out what's going on. ~ How? How did he find out? Why did he even notice? ... why would he even care?... "Everyone split in two teams. We're having a match." The coach yelled and blew his whistle. Everyone did as they were told and soon I found myself facing Haizaki's goons, their smiles sending shivers down my spine. Well, I'm screwed either way.

*Cover by the uber-talented Pixie Stormcrow!* (covers.pstormcrow.com) All bad decisions are born out of one key moment. A moment, thoughtless or not, where you choose wrong over right. Evil over good. You roll the dice and brace for the consequences, and that's exactly what Jolie and Carson did the day they met by mistake. One wrong number, one simple conversation over text, and their lives as they knew it were gone. Jolie, a miserable housewife who clings to the bottle just to get by, and Carson, a doctor who's stitched together the perfect facade to hide his failed marriage from his children and colleagues. Loneliness consumes them both, and when they find an unlikely friend at the end of a stranger's phone number, they cling to whatever connection they can get. Neither intended to cross any lines, but then again, good people rarely intend to do bad things. For Jolie and Carson, their key moment was fast and not at all easy. And the consequences might be even worse. ~~~~~~ The Wrong Number short story was one of the winners of the Forbidden Love Contest in 2018, and now an expanded full novel on Radish! If you haven't read the short story and don't want to spoil the novel, skip the first chapter!

It happened in August. One morning she was here, laughing and singing by his side, and the next morning, she was gone. It took a single day for her to disappear, for her to leave an empty space in their apartment and in his heart. Her smell still lingered over the towels of the bathroom, the covers of their bed she had neatly folded, that last morning, still laid untouched on her side, and the flowers she had put in a vase on the dining table were slowly withering away. He had never seen it coming, that she would be gone so fast. He never expected that she could vanish from his life the way she had appeared, so suddenly and unexpectedly. He had never expected it, that he could be left all alone after knowing what it was like to be with her. It happened in August, but the clouds would linger over him for a long time. Min Yoongi AU.

On reading Collin's Hunger Games trilogy I was so moved I didn't want it to end. I wrote this after the release of the Hunger Games movie, but before the last three films. This rambling is based on the books, not the movies. I wrote it as way to keep the legend going. I would love to see Ms. Collins continue a truly moving tribute to people. This is complete and I will not add to this story.

#1 in humor! (8/28/17) #1 in crappypasta! (8/7/18) Wow I'm just on a roll with these books. Welp, might as well get this description over with... Hello everyone! My name is horror-queen and this is Crappypasta. These range anywhere from Sp00py spin-offs to people who literally didn't try at all. Only the worst of the worst go into this book and though these stories can't send chills down you your spine, they're scary bad. Now keep in mind that these stories aren't MEANT to be bad. And if you should find that you wrote one of these, and you want it removed, kindly ask me. Because if you're mean, I'll probably keep it up. Anywho, grab some coffee, bundle up, and enjoy these Crappypastas. (By the way, this book contains A LOT of poor grammar and spelling. It will kill your brain cells as you read. So if you die, I'll host your funeral.)

How many ways are there to be scared? Well, in my book 365 Nights of Fear I will tell you one good way to be scared each and every single night. Just watch out though because some scares just might be a little too close to home.

The only chance lies with the monsters that lurk in the shadows of her world, Beasts with violent minds, a taste for flesh, and power enough to rival even a Letter. Her pact with them-- a cure for her brother in return for her service-- will reveal deep-seated hatred in her own heart, souls twisted by greed and fear, and love where she thought nothing but evil could grow.
