Incinerate

When Ash Woodward moves to a new town before the beginning of the school year, he makes it his goal to befriend anti-social track star Sera von Abaddon. As Ash traverses his new life with his new friends, mysteries arise as to who Sera truly is. But how deep does the rabbit hole go? And will Ash like the secrets he uncovers?Excerpt: "Why do I always have this feeling that I need to be close to you? Why am I always so drawn to you? Why is it when I'm with my friends, or I'm at home by myself, I think of you? Why have you been in my dreams? Why is it that whenever I seem to turn around, you're not far away?" The silence after my frustrated curiosity coats my lungs with its thick and sticky suspense. As I stand there, eyes glued to the girl in a desperate aching need for answers, she hesitates. Her mouth opens ever so slightly, surely a new sharp and sarcastic quip drawing its venom on her tongue. But something changes in her eyes. That usual coyness softens, the layer underneath breaking the surface and letting itself be seen for once. That vulnerability, that honesty, that inner battle to say something nearly sacred scrunches her eyebrows for a moment. Part of me thinks she's waiting for me to say something, anything, to make her deviate from what she thinks she must do. I kind of want to, to give her what she wants. But my own tongue dries up of its inquiries. "Do you believe in magic?" Her hushed question almost has that hint of evasive playfulness. Almost. However, the question feels earnest, sincere, grave even. No jokes. No comebacks. Only that tender pale layer she keeps buried under the caustic shell. It knocks me for a loop. "Yes," I breathe.Awards:🥇🥈Best Title (Glimmer Mini Awards), Best Opening Chapter (Glimmer Mini Awards)🥉Best Blurb (Glimmer Mini Awards)
Lightbringer

This is the oldest story in the universe.But it's not the version you know. They say the victors write the history books. The truth was the price I paid when I did what I had to do. I believe that when you see something wrong, you have to take a stand and do something about it, consequences be damned. And I did. That's how I became the villain.Lucifer tells his side of the story: watching his father change for the worse, and determined to make a stand for the humans he loves, he abruptly finds himself exiled from heaven along with all the angels who stood with him. He sets out to carve out an afterlife for himself, the other fallen angels, and the humans he knows will soon be joining them. Through it all, he must anticipate God's next moves if he hopes to save humanity from final destruction, and he cannot shake the feeling that war is inevitable.*Note:* This draws heavily from original biblical concepts and church tradition, but I weave it together and built on it with my own fancy. This is also not meant to be an attack on anyone's set of beliefs, but do know that Lucifer is portrayed as a protagonist and God is not portrayed in a favorable light 100% of the time (and functionally fills the role of an antagonist). If you are not comfortable with this, give it a pass.

Luna's Canvas

In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, where skyscrapers stretched towards the heavens and the streets pulsed with the ceaseless rhythm of progress, there existed a hidden sanctum untouched by the city's chaotic soul. It was on the crest of an antiquated building, one that had seen the passage of eras, that Luna found her refuge. This rooftop, a mosaic of worn shingles and whispered histories, was her canvas, where the night sky offered an endless palette of blues and the stars waited patiently for her stories.
