Loss Stories

Eight years ago, I fell in love with a widower and the little boy who needed a mother. While everyone else saw Daniel rebuilding his life, I was the one holding it together. I dried Noah's tears, celebrated his birthdays, sat through his fevers, and loved him as if he had been born to me. Every time I asked about marriage, Daniel promised, "Soon." I believed him. Until the day I discovered he wasn't planning our wedding. He was planning his wedding to another woman. To make matters worse, the woman he was marrying had no idea I existed. She believed she was marrying a devoted single father, while the little boy who called me "Mom" had no idea his family was about to fall apart. Walking away should have been easy. Except Noah refused to let me go. A heartbreaking psychological romance about love, sacrifice, betrayal, healing, and discovering that sometimes the greatest love story begins the moment you stop begging someone else to choose you.

Link, the Hero of Hyrule, has just learned of Princess Zelda's fate after seeing the final dragon tear. Overcome with grief, he sets out to seek a legendary power, one he believes will guarantee Hyrule's victory...and his revenge. But will he lose himself in the process? A HUGE thank you and shout out to @fire_bird_ana for making the cover art for this fan fic! She has some incredible LOZ art you should check out, as well as her own fan fic that I highly recommend. Author's note: This story takes place during Tears of the Kingdom, right after Link discovers the last of the dragon tears. It combines elements from that story, in addition to some of my other favorite Legend of Zelda games. Though I generally try to stay true to lore, at times I made adjustments to help things flow. I don't claim to be a professional author or Legend of Zelda expert, I just wrote a story that I would enjoy. *I do not own any characters used in this story.

1917 Having been recently relieved from a brutal stint at the front lines, Thomas and a small unit of medics are stationed at a secondary casualty station. Thomas's cynical shell is cracked when a four-year-old girl named Rosie is brought in. The sole survivor of a direct hit on her family home, she has lost both legs below the knee and her parents in a single heartbeat. Major Clarkson, recognizing Thomas's meticulous (if distant) nature, assigns him to her constant care. Initially, Thomas resents the "nanny" work but eventually something shifts. For the first time in his life, Thomas isn't performing for a master or scheming for a promotion; he is simply needed. He uses his "acquired" luxuries-chocolate and extra blankets-to coax her back to life. As Rosie stabilizes, the camp receives a shipment of primitive prosthetic limbs. While the surgeons are busy with the endless stream of dying soldiers, Thomas takes it upon himself to be Rosie's legs. In the quiet hours between bombardments, he teaches her to balance, then to shuffle, and finally to walk. In Rosie's stubborn refusal to give up, Thomas finds a reflection of his own survival instinct-but hers is pure, untainted by the bitterness that has defined him. She becomes the only thing in France that makes him feel like a "good man." Thomas realizes that as a Sergeant, he is bound to the mud until he is either dead or "broken." Desperate to stay with her, or at least be sent back to England where he might find a way to track her down, he looks at the flickering lights of the enemy line. The shot that shatters his hand is his ticket home-and his greatest shame. As he is loaded onto a transport, he catches one last glimpse of Rosie watching from a distance, standing tall on the legs he taught her to use. He leaves behind the only person he has ever truly loved without conditions, carrying a permanent scar that will forever remind him of the cost of his humanity.

3 Days SF Thriller For struggling filmmaker Andie McKenna, life could be better. Her fledgling film company is on the rocks. She's seventy-two hours away from being kicked out of her rent-by-the-week shoe box of an apartment in the dodgiest part of San Francisco, and her marriage is on life support. And if things couldn't get worse, she receives a cryptic telegram from the Mexican orphanage where she grew up: "Come quick, your father is dying." Interesting, since she's an orphan. Andie rushes to the orphanage where she grew up to find Father Pakal Ramirez, the priest who raised her, alive and well. He's going into the jungle after a lethal parasite, and he wants to see her one last time in case he doesn't return. When Andie is accidentally exposed to the parasite, Pakal draws her blood and gives her an anti-parasitic. She reacts to the medication and passes out. When she wakes, Pakal is gone. Furious beyond words, Andie returns to San Francisco to find the Bay Area plunged into chaos. Something fell from the sky and crashed north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Something not made by humans. And then there's the frozen, long-forgotten vial of blood, padlocked in a metal box and buried in the orphanage's freezer. Blood that will impact Andie's life irrevocably and shatter the illusion that we are alone in the universe.

My friends supported me to do a collection of my occasional short stories I wrote for funzies. I write short stories usually because I randomly thought of something and I wanted to write it down, which may or may not be used in the future. I would also like to clarify that every short story's characters and plot are not related, so the confusion may last and I'm sorry for that. But I am starting this collection anyways, and I hope you guys will enjoy it. You guys could comment if you guys have any suggestions, and I would love to improve. Love you all.
