✍️ HEATHCLIFF BEFORE HEATHCLIFF
My entry for The Wattpad Wuthering Heights Movie Reimagined Contest. A repressed Emily Brontë finds herself haunted by the very characters she has dreamed up on the moor. What begins as a feverish dream-affair with the dark, bitter Heathcliff turns into a battle for creative control. As Emily realizes her characters have wills she did not authorize, she must decide if she is the master of her masterpiece - or just another soul trapped in its orbit.
⚰️ THE BODY THEY BURIED
He sleeps in a box. His parents file his teeth and feed him blood. He's never seen the sun, never seen his reflection, never been outside. Then one day the sirens come - and with them, the truth.
🌮 THE SPACE BETWEEN TORTILLAS
When a self-made flour-taco rebel defends her family's legacy against the arrogant Prince of Corn, their Tuesday night turf war ignites a heat that transcends the kitchen. But Javi Reyes is a black box with a forbidden secret: the heir to the corn empire is hiding flour in his own tortillas - and he's hunting for the magic in Elena's masa to save his own dying spark.
🥀 UNRELIABLE
A collection of short stories where the narrator is not who you think they are-and often not who they think they are either. Trust no one.
