Hitchhiking Stories

(based on a writing prompt from @writing.prompt.s on instagram) A hitchhiker waits on the side of the road to be picked up, planning to kill the driver. little does he know that his driver has killed 14 hitchhikers to date, and doesn't plan on stopping now.

Fourteen year old Holly Morris is an ordinary girl with OCD (Obsessive Castle Disorder), she was so caught up in watching the latest episode on her phone one day after school. She hitchhiked and watched the episode in the car. Holly got off after one episode and realized she was in New York instead of LA! The last thing she remembered beside her phone was going through a tunnel. Then she found a dead body and called 911, but the investigating detectives turned out to be Kate Beckett, Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan! How is this possible? Read to find out! Some Caskett fluff and family fluff involved. I update whenever I'm in a Castle mood (mostly after I watch an episode).

Once upon a time a friend said to me: "Do you know some people are kissed by luck and flying through life like birds, but you are different. You can not fly and nobody wants to kiss you, but you have a really sweet relationship with misfortune.". Sadly, she was right with this statement. Maybe at the beginning everything looked like a fun adventure but it turned into something bigger than a little trip through this country.

Much like his first collection, "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers," Alex C. Telander's new short story collection, "In That Quiet Earth," runs the gamut of genres, showing his extensive breadth and range as writer. Readers will not be disappointed and will find a number compelling storylines and complex characters to become engaged in reading about. The collection kicks off with a short piece exploring a man who is changing in a way he doesn't want to. "The Lonesome Road" is one of the first stories Telander wrote, and goes into depth about the security we feel in everyday life, and what happens when that is suddenly taken away. Some other interesting stories include "Outside the Chamber," exploring the role of Nazis charged with gassing victims, to a classic fantasy tale in "The Adventure of Lem, Odo and Tom," and ending with "Motion in Motion," a unique stream of consciousness story unlike any other. The collection also features two sneak peeks at two of Telander's future novels. The collection is a broad and fascinating one, providing something for everyone, leaving readers at the end wanting more and waiting for Alex C. Telander's next work.
