Youngwritersprize Stories

Ira Sen has always lived by one rule.. stay in control. A topper. Disciplined. Unquestioning. In a world that never stops expecting, she never stops delivering. Until the day everything changes. When her sister, a scientist at Indian Space Research Organisation, discovers something impossible, a phenomenon that shouldn't exist. A black hole. But this isn't just any Black Hole. Inside it, time doesn't move forward. It exists,all at once. Past. Present. Future. And when Ira comes face to face with it, she doesn't just see the universe.. she sees herself. Every moment. Every choice. Every version of her life... right in front of her. But when time stops being something you can control.. what do you hold on to? And what do you finally let go?

Jasslyn Brookside has always harboured a curiosity for her childhood friend. She can't be blamed: Jacoby Harold is constantly trailed by flowers and plants, the occasional balloon or firework. He isn't the only one. From the day Jasslyn could form the thought that this was out of the ordinary, she has seen others like him. Men who stand like statues, as if hoping no one would see them. Women who walk around pretending nothing is wrong while vines as thick as pythons slither after them. After a chance encounter with two reportedly "missing" people, Jasslyn realizes that her past and future are more entwined with Jacoby's than she ever imagined. When she finds out the extent to which their paths cross, a message becomes clear to her: to delve too deep into Jacoby's world would mean unearthing secrets she would be safer without.

Ram doesn't get it - he has no children. Why do subjects take her as the heir? Who's spreading these rumours about him and his brothers? Is it wise to mingle with those youngsters? No one knows. Another thing no one knows - one Narunan, one Night-enforcer, one wizardess, and one demigod will change Ayodhya forever.

Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win? We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals. (This was previously called Show 'em Who's Boss.)

Inspired by the haunting and powerful imagery of Stray Kids' Hollow music video, What We Left Behind the Curtain takes you to the mystical world of Orbia - where eight friends begin their journey filled with laughter, dreams, and magical sigils: glowing necklaces that mark their first steps toward greatness. As they chase after brighter, more coveted orbs called Lumes, symbols of achievement and recognition, their bond begins to fracture. What starts as a joyful quest soon spirals into a haunting struggle for more - more light, more glory, more validation. But every Lume taken deepens the hollow inside them, threatening to consume everything they love. Now, only one remains at the edge of the curtain - faced with a choice: keep chasing the light alone, or find a way to bring back what truly matters. Maybe in another world - but this time, they just might save themselves.

Humanity have always questioned their mortality. The world; riddled with disease and crime, each day gifted with a sense of dread. "I'm getting older." Humans have evolved, fought wars, overcome the impossible and survived as a species, until now. Now that they question death and what comes after. Among the humans are a group of people, hiding in plain sight. Those that inexplicably are able to connect with their souls on an entirely different level to most. They have no name, hidden purely by disbelief, in a society that doubts those that are different. How do you name something that you refuse to acknowledge exists? The Misvan Gatu is an underground government controlled by an unknown force. It is their mission to find a cure for the death of a soul, not caring who they may destroy in the process. Misguided and twisted by an evil unknown they are driven by the need to know more about the afterlife. Breaking down barriers and finding answers to questions best left unasked. If the soul could be transferred then that human life could continue, couldn't it? And if there was a way of stopping death and harnessing the power of the human soul what else could we accomplish? This is where faith and science began to work together. Already you must understand that the two are not compatible? Book one in a trilogy of short novellas.

That is one thing I believe in and that's what led me here to this. Just some words tied with teenage emotions and an overwhelming sense of responsibility towards the entire human race. The hatred toward others, belittling oneself, negative perception towards almost everything in life and just...... not being real to self, all of this and so much more is harrowing. Here is just a small effort to voice out all that most of us go through. Happy Reads! All the love. S.

Ten-year-old Lena (Helena) thought losing her parents in a house fire was the worst that could happen-until her new foster parents, the Chois, turn her into a child star-for-profit, forcing strict diets, punishing her with mile-long runs, and even forging a doctor's note when she collapses from exhaustion. Almost two years of fear and burnout build to a single, heartbreaking moment at her friend Sophie Yang's birthday party-just as she's about to taste real cake, the Chois drag her away. It's Sophie's mother, social worker Emma Yang, who finally sees through their lies, steps in, and fights to bring Lena home.
