Quirky Stories

Hera forgot her umbrella. Julian forgot how to not care. Miles forgot to stop livestreaming. Valkyrie forgot how to trust. Sylvie forgot that time exists. It was raining on St. Bumblebee when a washer, a jacket, a slice of pie, and negative 999 aura turned five strangers into each other's problem. Echelon House doesn't find students - it finds disasters. Low battery. High stakes. Zero umbrellas.

Every full moon, Mira dreams of a different life. A different city. A different future. And a different man. Noah knows things about her no stranger should know-her work, her habits, even the little things she never thought anyone noticed. But Mira already has the perfect husband. Darren is her best friend, her safe place, and the love of her life. At least, that's what she thought. As the dreams grow harder to forget, Mira finds herself caught between the man she chose... and the boy from her other life.

His eyes narrow into slits, "Don't you dare-" "What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I smile, grabbing his cheeks and squishing them, "Don't make that face!!! C'mon, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Glaring, he mutters, "We're not doing this shit, Mari-" "Yes, we are!!" I let go of his face, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "You better not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're an idiot." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Senior year is coming up, and things seem normal. Friends are doing the usual, family is, well...familying, and life is as is. But after a chance encounter at a thrift shop, everything changes in a matter of seconds. What happens when a broody boy meets a bubbly girl who suddenly brings color to a world he thought had permanently lost it? Well two things occur: 1 - He isn't coping well, a little upset about it honestly. And 2 - He can't stop thinking about HER. And to make it all the worse, she's suddenly everywhere. Even at his school. Started August 2023 - ????

In the neon-colored capital planet of Chigu, Karel enters the school believing she has to prove the worthiness of humans to the empire as a whole. However, just as we all think of ourselves as the "main character" of the universe, Karel is not the only new student dealing with this life changing transition. She is joined by Francis, a tall lanky alien dealing with the pressures of living up to his culture's high expectations for him. Also, Nichol, an artful and highly intelligent alien girl whose innate scientific skills fit well with her family's expectations, but conflict with her own personal aspirations. Finally, there is Kenny, the handsome athletic type alien whose flirty and confident exterior is hiding the dread he feels over the role he plays in his culture's competitive examination systems. Oh, and there is a space dog named... Space Dog. He was named by a bunch of 14 year-olds on their first day of school, so not too surprising. I heard one class named theirs "Pupper-nickle." While initially having very little in common, all four must band together to form a detective and mystery club in order to solve the case of Principal Hobbs' attempted assassination. Along the way, they learn how to deal with their own feelings of anxiety about their roles in society, relate to other cultures, understand the international relations of different peoples and civilizations, find love, and try to turn in their report on Earth history on time. Yes, even with an investigation going on, they still have homework to do. They are not raising slackers at this galactic imperial military high school, I will have you know.

One built a reputation being good at being invisible - getting the job done, and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. The other restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, the bones of things that are already there - no new complications. Lara flew in from Singapore expecting sand, sibling arguments, and absolutely nothing else. A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for. Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files. Apparently his intel had gaps. Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.

The story continues as the mysterious warden of Zig-Zig is eventually informed about Herschel's escape. Against every principle of his precious Dalmicir school, Lyeasrakardsul submits and asks the Knomes for help before finally receiving the dreaded p-wyrd. Herschel is arrested as a chicken thief and brought to the town Stagna where he has been prejudged as a p-e-r-v-e-r-t by popular opinion, and where he will have some of the most significant encounters in his life.

she's the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 A bright-eyed nineteen-year-old with dreams bigger than the night sky and a heart soft enough to love every star in it. She wants to become an astrologist one day, even if everyone around her says her head's always somewhere in the clouds. He's a man of few words. 𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒 The grumpy bar owner with an attraction for her. he doesnt know why he's so drawn too her. her horrible catch phrases or her corny jokes. the way she laughs or the way she looks at him with complete awe. They are complete opposites. She's warmth and light and endless talking. He's silence and shadows and locked doors. Hallie becomes the brightest star in August 's dark sky. she brightens his world while he protects her from his. because some orbits are destined to collide. And some people pull you closer long before you realize you're falling. *** "You're pretty," I murmur. Oh heavenly father if you were to kill me any second, please let that be now. Just give me all you got. It's either I die in the hands of this man now or in embarrassment later. Both are totally fine with me. The tall figure goes still. His head tilts slightly, like he's trying to decide whether I'm serious or just concussed. His expression doesn't change. Not a smile. Not a frown. Just...blank. Like the words don't register. And maybe they shouldn't have. Of course they shouldn't have hallie! He shakes his head and holds out a tattooed hand for me to grab. I hesitate for a second before slipping my fingers into his, and he pulls me up until I'm standing-not even half his height.

A poetry collection written by yours truly. Jemexoxo123 of Cuban and Venezuelan descent, born in the US, and the eldest sibling to four, something she finds central to her identity. A first-generation college student struggling with the sheer amount of money college costs. All this along with an overactive imagination and special quirks define her and her work. Her current goal for her work is to create longer, less Dr. Suess-esc poems that properly reflect her views, wacky thoughts, struggles, overall weirdness, and methods to navigate her family.

One weekend is all it takes for her to start thinking he might actually be the one - until he disappears. Except he doesn't stay gone for long. Dead and stuck on Earth, commitment phobic Ren has been assigned as Grace's spiritual advisor. And he can't move on until he's done "helping" her. Which would be easier for them both if Ren's idea of help didn't involve inserting himself into her life and insisting on finding her a date for her sister's wedding. Unfortunately, the longer he stays, the more complicated leaving starts to feel. A story about modern dating, messy romance, and the chaos of being ghosted... in more ways than one.

Four group of kids discovers an ancient, dusty compass (magical compass with great design that is shiny and attractive) in a forgotten attic trunk (one of the kid's parent attic), only to learn it doesn't point north-it points to hidden places no one else can find. Each time they follow its strange directions, they're whisked away to a new, fantastical location: a jungle where plants whisper secrets, a mountain peak guarded by talking winds, or an underwater city lit by glowing jellyfish. The compass belongs to the long-lost Hidden Compass Society, a league of explorers who once protected the world's forgotten wonders. Now, the kids must solve riddles, outsmart shadowy treasure hunters, and decide whether to keep the compass's magic a secret or share it with the world-all while juggling school and chores!

Two things are inevitable in this world: Life and Death. When you tamper with that balance you're asking for trouble. Andy didn't think about what would happen if she used her strange gift just this once on an actual person. She just wanted to give someone a second chance. But good intentions don't interest the Grim Reaper. Not when he's owed a soul. Cover by: @PeachyReg

Here's a Hero you all can love that popped into my head.

Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is still rebuilding, and so is Draco Malfoy. Once feared as a Death Eater, he now works as an Auror, determined to erase his name from the Ministry's list of war criminals. Redemption is slow, frustrating work. Draco has learned patience, restraint, and the difficult art of controlling his temper... most days. Far from this hidden world lives Mabel Brown, an ordinary Muggle who believes in structure, discipline, and cold, provable facts. A respected lawyer at a prestigious law firm, she has built her reputation on logic and precision. Mabel knows how to read people, how to push the right buttons, and how to win. Magic, myths, and the impossible have no place in her carefully ordered life. Until one accidental night forces their worlds to collide. What begins as a tense and unwelcome encounter soon drags both of them into something far more dangerous than either expected. Strange disappearances, buried secrets, and whispers of forbidden rituals begin to surface. Someone is moving in the shadows, someone who still believes in the Dark Lord's cause. As Draco and Mabel are drawn deeper into the mystery, they are forced to confront not only the truth behind the growing threat, but also the parts of themselves they would rather ignore. Pride, guilt, fear, and the fragile hope of second chances begin to blur the line between ally and stranger. Because some secrets were never meant to be uncovered... And some wars are not as finished as the world wants to believe.

Armed with only her instincts, a strange blank diary, and secrets connected to her grandmother's past, Jenny must uncover the truth behind a world where fairytales no longer follow their own rules. Because when fairytales mess up, chaos begins.
