The Undesirables
Chapter 1 It was like waking up from a bad night’s sleep. Sienna’s whole body ached, and nausea washed over her in waves. She squinted against the intense light that was all around her. Then there were hands everywhere, grabbing at her.

OCEAN BREEZE
Every Part of a Story is Important. But nothing is as Captivating as the Opening Scene. The first scene is vital to your own interests. It can either draw you in or be a total turn off. Simultaneously for me; the opening scene is like that joy of waking up in a beach resort with the ocean seaside view of a shoreline. This scenery has always been my adrenaline fix. Like a Folgers breeze in the midst of sunrise, I enjoy soaking in every glimpse and beauty of this magical scenery. Besides the fact that I also enjoy taking long walks along the sea-shore, this is what I considered my go to happy place whenever I am in dire need to rest my mind, body, and spirit.

On the wedding night, seeing off the last group of guests, Milo was like a long-cooked noodle. His body was sour and swollen, and he no longer had the strength to speak. Yuan Ye opens the door of bridal chamber, a warm and ambiguous pink warm ground to come. In the drawing-room, two tall dragons and phoenixes were blazing. It is the meaning of the old people on both sides. They say that the longer the candle burns on the wedding night, the more the couple will be happy and prosperous for a hundred years.

The Accidental Date
Chapter 1 There are three things my friends learn about me very quickly. First, I’m an L.A. girl heart, soul, and mind. It is a source of pride for me that I have lived my entire adult life in L.A. Second, I love my job. I’m in high demand as a make-up artist for weddings throughout Southern California with the occasional trip to Hawaii, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Third, I think that life is like a Shakespearean comedy with more tragedy than comedy, but everything will turn out all right in the end. My philosophy: if you can’t laugh at yourself, you are setting yourself up for an unhappy life. Laughter really is the best medicine.

Planet Z
Chapter 1 Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They being Commander Penn who, undoubtedly, was just pulling his usual scare tactics. I’m not usually phased by Commander Penn, or any of the Commanders, for that matter, but with the Ship Date approaching quickly I was starting to give slightly more consideration to their remarks. Beale, on the other hand, was losing it over Commander Penn’s threat of the day.

Ghost Train
Where was she? Who was she? The first thing that registered was the steadily unsteady rocking that suggested a moving vehicle of some kind. The next sense to return was sound, and the regular click-clack of wheels over a cross-spikes and slats: a train.

Weightless
PART 1: Spiez, Switzerland There were no words to describe the view of the Bernese Alps from where she sat, and Lucia didn't seem to have them either as the train's stopping jolted her awake. Looking out of her window she only noticed the bright rays from the water, bending with each ripple. The bottomless blue was met with a plush alpine skyline, but she couldn't shake her feeling underwhelmed as she scanned the horizon of boats, shops, and tourists interlocked in between the two.

Runway Xpress
Runway Xpress I did not ask to be a part of this generation but here I am! 2022 in the land of the free (where nobody is really free) struggling to make it further than we did last year. Fresh out of a painful relationship and all I want to do is spend money I do not have. There is a name for people like me, it’s just not coming to me right now. I’ve always wanted to be more, but this moldy unleveled studio is all I got for now.

Down the Rabbit Hole
I remember the night of my twenty-first birthday. My friends and I decided to go mini golfing that day. It was an old golf shack right off the highway, one that I remembered going to when I was ten or twelve. The actual mini golf course was rather small, and quite frankly one that looked run down on its slowest days. But it had its charm, of course, as it had a special wonderland theme that made you feel as though you lived through the stories of the dear Alice Liddell. I lived my youth going to the golf course almost every Sunday in the summertime, and every time I remember I would make my mom buy me a blue raspberry slushie afterward. After a few years, though, I stopped going entirely, enthralled in the other magical world of setting up for keeping a good high school record and preparing for college.

The Meaning of Pop Tarts
You wake up on a train. You have no ticket and no memory of how you got there. In the few moments you have of consciousness, you can tell the train shows no signs of slowing down.

I don't like this train
The noise woke Beth, heart racing. Was someone in the house? Was she going to be murdered in her bed? ‘Don’t worry, dear. Everything is going to be fine.’
