On his deathbed, Heathcliff watches his life flash before his eyes in a series of tumultuous visions.

A tale of the sea.

The Phantom Of The Opera by Gaston Leroux First published in French as a serial in 1909, The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christine's childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous 'ghost' of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster. Leroux's work, with characters ranging from the spoiled prima donna Carlotta to the mysterious Persian from Erik's past, has been immortalized by memorable adaptations. Despite this, it remains a remarkable piece of Gothic horror literature in and of itself, deeper and darker than any version that follows.

Emma from Jane Austen. Emma Woodhouse is one of Austen's most captivating and vivid characters. Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect. #HessasBookshelf

A young lady by the name of Mary Howard comes to the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, in an attempt to uncover the reason as to why the man she is to soon marry has changed so drastically in so little time. It seems quite the elementary problem on the surface, but as Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson, begin to unravel the threads to Miss Howard's interesting dilemma, they find that there is a more sinister plan lurking within the depths of her fiancé's mind. ____________________ This is my first attempt at writing a Sherlock Holmes story, so I'm really hoping it's good enough. I tried to write it in exactly the same style as the original stories, so it proved somewhat difficult, but I'm much relieved at having actually finished it, rather than leaving it in the drafts forever. I really hope you'll like it!

Great Expectations charts the progress of Pip from childhood through often painful experiences to adulthood, as he moves from the Kent marshes to busy, commercial London, encountering a variety of extraordinary characters ranging from Magwitch, the escaped convict, to Miss Havisham, locked up with her unhappy past and living with her ward, the arrogant, beautiful Estella. Pip must discover his true self, and his own set of values and priorities. Whether such values allow one to prosper in the complex world of early Victorian England is the major question posed by Great Expectations, one of Dickens's most fascinating, and disturbing, novels.

My English teacher made us write a two page epilogue for Fahrenheit 451 but never had us turn it in so I might as well upload it here so someone could read it. This is one of the best stories I've read (so far) along with Anthem by Ayn Rand.

Lord of the Flies, girl-on-the-island fanfiction. Probably rated Teen. Original character belongs to me, but nothing else. Dezibelle Xeng is my OC, based off of one of my friends from Hoboken. (She begged to be part of this story in return for helping me with the American bits.) This is a modern AU, based off of the book, the '63 movie and a little of the '90s movie (for Simon's character only). The rest belongs to William Golding. Note: Ralph and Jack are both 17, Dezi is 14, Simon is 15, and Roger is 16.
