"What am I doing here and why am I handcuffed??!" I asked the guy in white uniform whom I assumed to be the doctor. "I'm sorry Mr Bryan that's not my place to tell, I came to inform you the detective would be here in a second to ask questions" he replied in a bored tone. " The police,Why??" I asked him confused which made him raise an eyebrow. Then i remembered it all....I was charged for murder!!!! I killed my beloved wife....

She was never the same, after the car wreck that left her as the only survivor. Before the accident she was a quiet, shy girl. Mostly because she hid her true self from everyone, especially from her family.

#JustWriteIt #OnceUponNow Everyone always tells you to be yourself, but the second you step out of your shell people disown you, badger you, shun you. People tell you to do whatever you have to do to be happy, but when you do everybody seems to claim that it's just not you and do anything to have you be your 'old self'. Now there are these two girls, a Brazilian princess in the United Kingdom and an Australian tomboy in the United States, they want to be themselves for a change, and they are as determined as ever, they'll do what they want to do no matter what! Are they going to be able to meet their fate, or will the universe turn against them and put many dangerous obstacles in their way?

"But like all dreams... this can't last forever. You have until midnight my dear... on the stroke of twelve." I wanted to tell this famous fairy tale in a new and innovative way. This story speaks volumes and I think love is as classic as this fairy tale. It's time for us to legalize love in all shapes, colors, and genders, not only in the United States, but everywhere.

A modern take on the classic tale "Ugly Duckling". A young girl is dropped off at an orphanage after her mother simply doesn't want her anymore. This girl goes through her life constantly being put down. Everyone tells her she isn't worth it, and she starts to feel that way. With a love of nature and animals this girl starts to grow and mature. Many trials and challenges put her through hard times in her life. Will she always be the ugly duckling? Or will she one day grow into a beautiful swan.

Stories can change over time until it is almost completely backwards and unrecognizable. How it came to be is often lost. That is why it is best to look toward the beginning of things, rather than what it became; because only then will you truly understand. It didn't happen ages ago in a land far away-but it happened right here, right now, in an ordinary town with ordinary kids. Let me tell you my story of how it all began. Let me tell the story of the boy who never stopped running, that is, until he began to fly. Created 2016

Penelope "Poppy" Icarius fell in love at the curious age of 5. Poppy never questioned her love for the lively, freckled boy down the street, not even after he moved away, leaving Poppy alone in their make-believe world. Now, age 25, Poppy faces a turning point in her high-profile fashion career. Faced with a major career decision, her sister's impending and ridiculously over-the-top wedding, and a slew of hilariously bad dates with New York's most eligible, Poppy must come to terms with the realities of the life she's living and the secrets she's keeping--even from herself. This modern-day retelling of Penelope's story from The Odyssey explores the bittersweet intersection of change and certainty, and the challenge of defining yourself in the face of uncertainty, reminding us that becoming ourselves is sometimes the greatest--and most difficult--adventure that we can choose to wander through. *Thanks so much for checking out my #onceuponnow entry!

Avalon Lane is your normal average person. She wakes up in the morning, has her breakfast, travels to work, works (or well, tries to work), returns home, eats dinner, sleeps and wakes up next morning to honour the routine all over again. Things go haywire though the day she bumps into her doppelganger... who's not human! Who is Avalon's doppelganger? Was their meeting just by chance? Which world did her doppelganger come from? And most importantly, why does it feel more than just a doppelganger connection?

This alludes to the needle in sleeping beauty, but it is shown in a different way. This story is based on one of the Harris Burdick pictures, Mr. Linden's Library. I would like to give credit to Harris Burdick, however, he did not the right the story. This story is an original and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't copy it. The fairytale element in this book is a magic object which you will soon learn. Here is the intro: This story begins on the first day of summer, in a small town called Winter Falls. A beautiful and careless sixteen year old girl, with long brown hair that's always pulled back into a sporty ponytail, has something dangerous fall into her hands and she doesn't even know. Fortunately, she isn't alone. A tall and smart sixteen year old boy with blond hair and a sweatshirt is there to help her.

The people of Mysticity were lovable, outgoing and friendly. Their pleasant smiles were ever present, despite their ever changing weather. But at the single mention of Blanch, they would turn into sullen men and women, and gloomy little children with downcast eyes and hushed voices. Journalist from the kingdom of Factious City, Harold P William is avidly curious about the queer weather and the pleasant-to-a-fault people of Mysticity. And mostly, their mysterious dislike for the word, Blanch. Blanch, however has problems of her own to deal with, and her patience with the nosy journalist is quickly running thin. He only wants to help, and help is a foreign word to her ears. Blanch's problems can't be helped, as far as she knows. And Harold is unrelenting in his questioning and infuriatingly determined in solving her problems, and beating the White Bite. But no problem is ever solved easily, and really, what harm is there in just one bite?

Aerabella knew she wasn't aloud to date creatures that aren't of her kind, but Sean had a firm grip on her heart and she didn't want him to let it go.

From the time we are born, they decide what or who we become. Those who are "normal" become part of what they call the human race; while those who are born "abnormal" become part of the "inhabitants." My name is Jane Doe; my brother is John Doe. We are part of the inhabitants, but we believe that both parts should become a whole. There's only one problem- the head of the human race is not exactly "in line" with our plan for the future of OUR lives. #OnceUponNow #JustWrite
