Young Adult
Soul Shifter
The summer heat was burning hot as Andy sat on a bale of hay in the field. His father’s farm in Missouri was suffering greatly. In fact, he heard talks of his father selling to a real estate firm that wanted to build a neighborhood on their land. But Andy had other worries as well. Every single member of his family were shifters. They could copy animals by looking into their eyes and change into them. Sometimes to intimidate enemies, sometimes to hide from enemies. Other times just to have fun. The festival of shifting was nearing and even though Andy had reached the age of sixteen, where shifters gain their ability, he had not been able to change. There was a particular animal that would be a shifter’s main animal, the creature that activates his power and the one creature he can change into over and over. He tried coyotes, ravens, foxes, dogs, even a cat, but nothing happened. Sometimes once they connect, it would take an hour at the most for the first time, but never longer than that.

Never Goodbye
Abigail looked at the same road she had walked a thousand times. The dirt path leading from her front door turned into pavement a little before the 7-Eleven came into view. A couple miles past that was her high school. Most days, she was awake and headed to class before the sun was up.

All About My Bruises (pt 5)
CHAPTER FIVE One Year Later I had the kind of wedding that girls only dreamt about. My wedding was the talk of the town. Anybody who was somebody was heavily represented on my wedding day. The result of that was that I felt like a stranger at my own wedding. I did not know anyone and as Sam continued to introduce me to so many people, I tried to smile and look civilized and sophisticated like I knew Sam liked, but it was very hard. Every time I felt choked by the many attending strangers, I searched around frantically for a familiar face and my eyes always came to rest on my father or Oge. I had begged for her forgiveness which she did not give since I refused to forget the wedding, but she agreed to be my bridesmaid.

They had been here for a few days now and she resumed with Lewis’s studies, much to his displeasure, but she couldn’t get the mysterious aspects of the place out of her thoughts.
