White Wake. Runner-Up in Stay a While Challenge.
The boat was smaller than most people expected when they heard the word chartered, which is why Evelyn had chosen it. The guests laughed about that when they boarded, but Evelyn knew it would be perfect. Intimate. Romantic. Exclusive. Her groom had kissed her temple and told her it was perfect.

Star Titan
The crash site was even worse than Mara anticipated. A crater the size of a city stretched out in all directions. The Star Titan was aptly named; it was nearly 3 miles long, so the ensuing damage was roughly equivalent to several city blocks slamming into the planet at terminal velocity. Dead brakka bushes and uprooted grubnar trees littered the area, and massive scorch marks suggested the surrounding forest had been on fire for days. The height from the edge of the crater to the ground was almost a hundred feet. It was a good thing Kerrigan packed climbing gear, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get to the bottom of the crater at all.

Boblo
I squeaked out of excitement! Yes, my husband is the best! So creative, so outside of the box! We both loved to escape to small, unknown places. Away from the noise, away from tourists. And again, he found a dream spot. The place was not only unique but also a few hours of driving. An island no one knew about!

Mission Ridge, South Dakota. Top Story - May 2026. Content Warning.
Annabelle was feeding the chickens when a pop of red caught her eye. A strand of yarn, resting on the dirt floor. She reached down to pick it up and it yanked away from her. Annabelle giggled. She reached for it a second time and it was tugged again, pulled through the wire mesh of the coop.

Under the Influence
"I thought for a ghost town, there'd be more of a...town," Liz said. Their destination wasn't much to look at- just a standard clearing around which she could see the crumbling stone of old foundations. To top it off, there was no signal on her old phone, which was already dying by degrees, and the bugs were hell out here in the middle of the woods.

"What do you guys want to do first? I say we go check out the Bald Eagle sanctuary at Plato’s Bend." "Josh, please put that tourist map away for now." Enzo said. "We can check out the sanctuary in a couple of days. Today, we're going off-road. You guys are gonna shit your pants when you see this place... Nathan, did you remember to bring it?"

Sundown. Honorable Mention in Stay a While Challenge.
Bleached white by the sun, an old church's broken bones stand sentinel by the roadside. Throwing out long, grasping shadows. Thin dark fingers that reach across the cracked asphalt, stretching longer as day slowly dies.

The Beachcomber
"The ocean!" Chloe whined. She rolled her eyes so hard it rolled her whole head. "I hate the ocean." "Well, good thing the beach house is on the beach, dipshit," mocked Riley. "If you don't want to go in the water, you can just stay out of it." Chloe playfully punched him in the shoulder.

The Monster of The Lake. Runner-Up in Stay a While Challenge. Content Warning.
The windows rattled violently from the howling wind as bloated drops of rain pounded against the panes. The lights flickered inside the little diner and lightning danced across the turbulent black waters of the lake outside. The sight captured Via’s attention, distracting her from her task. Micah didn't seem to notice she'd stopped mid-pour; he also had his eyes turned to watch the raging storm.

The Hollow at Black Creek. Content Warning.
t The Hollow at Black Creek Walking home that Friday afternoon felt no different than any other. Then the air changed. It didn’t smell like rain, but there was a faint hint of grapes. The sunset stained the sky like a fresh bruise. Guinevere knew those colors all too well.

Hags Tarn House. Runner-Up in Stay a While Challenge.
“A dog, I reckon.” Peter said it boldly, as if his reckoning it made it the most likely of all possibilities. Michaela, two years younger and a head shorter, had been answering back since before she could talk, and if that kind of speculative conviction hadn’t washed from her dad, she wasn’t going to take it from her brother.
