The Ocean's Love Tale I wrote this piece for writetheworld's fairytales and myths competition back in March and but I'm still quite proud of it (though not very confident) as it's better than most of my other writing. As an ocean loving sad sapphic it's only natural I'd write this lol. Anyways please let me know what you think! Feedback is always welcome :)) (also the photography in the background is mine!) . . #writing #writer #shortstory #shortstories #writingcommunity

Eep! Today and tomorrow! This is one of my favorite (and the original) Magik Prep Academy short stories. This is the story that sparked what would become a magical academy that then later birthed Of Flame & Frost. I'd be ever so appreciative if you'd go snag yourself a copy. I'd love to introduce you to Magik Prep Academy. :D It's a very cool place, and even better when shared with friends. <3 :D What "An Egg and a Kiss" is about: Dreams, desires, and wishes get involved when a dragon egg and a note are mysteriously left in Silvey's locker. Could it be the start to everything she's ever wanted? For all the dragon lovers out there...who also appreciate good swoon. ;) Link in bio. <3 #magikprep #magik #magic #magikprepacademy #offlameandfrost #egg #dragon #dragonegg #shortstory #academy #ya #romance #yaromance

A glimpse into the future, where the sun sets on a city of dreams. #FuturisticCity #SpaceshipView Short Story: In the heart of the cosmos, a marvel of human ingenuity stands tall. A city, not bound by the confines of Earth, but thriving amidst the stars. Encased within a colossal spaceship, it’s a testament to advanced technology and human aspiration. Skyscrapers reach out, as if trying to touch the distant galaxies, their lights twinkling like stars against the cosmic backdrop. As the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the city, spaceships dance in the sky, painting a picture of life beyond our world. This is not just a city; it’s a beacon of hope, a dream of a future where the sky is not the limit, but just the beginning. #ShortStory #Futuristic Hashtags: #DigitalArt #AIart #FuturisticArt #Spaceship #AdvancedCivilization #ArtCommunity

‘Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy meet every Thursday to sample fine cheeses, to reminisce about their former lives as professors, and lately, to muse about murder. Decades ago, a vicious cabal of male poets contrived—quite publicly and successfully—to undermine the writing career, confidence, and health of their dear friend Fern. Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta. All they need is a plan with suitably Shakespearean drama. But as sweet and satisfying as revenge can be, it’s not always so cut and dried.’ This was meh. Almost DNF’d it, but because it was a short story, 34 pages, I decided to just finish it. I’m also glad that it was a freebie add-on from ‘First Reads’. #cutandthirst #margaretatwood #shortstory #amazonoriginal #booklover

Inspired by 3 interactions over the last 24 hours, and more so my judgemental attitude toward people who might well just have been having a bad day. My mind went into overdrive and created four #shortstory #vignettes with 1 common theme. When I finish them and find somewhere to publish them, all will be revealed….. Bottom line tho is. None of us know what’s happening in another’s head. It’s much easier to be “judgey” than show compassion. I’m definetely guilty of this. When I get close to final product I will add a couple of “trigger warnings” as I feel these pieces go dark and deep. But most importantly - damn it felt good to birth these ideas. The more I write, the more confident, the more confident, the more I write. And so it continues.

I worked on this painting while thinking about this short story that I wrote. I like writing magical realism because it creates wonderful stories. “She is the one who illuminates the night, the guide of those who sleep under the moon. She emerges with her light and with her awaken the ancient souls and sing chants under the stars. She dresses in black and on her shoulders she wears an adornment that looks like a crescent moon and a cape of golden feathers like the sun covers her back. She walks proud and the plants wake up to see her, and the serene animals observe her. A wise owl is her companion. She is light, life, mystery.” “Ella es la que ilumina la noche, la guía de los que duermen bajo la luna. Emerge con su luz y con ella despiertan las almas antiguas y entonan cantos bajo las estrellas. Ella viste de negro y sobre sus hombros lleva un adorno que parece una luna creciente y una capa de plumas doradas como el sol cubre su espalda. Camina orgullosa y las plantas despiertan para verla, y los animales serenos la observan. Un búho sabio es su compañero. Ella es luz, vida, misterio.” #acrylicpainting #arte #art #magicalrealism #shortstory #painting #homedecor #artist #austinart

The past week I have had a lot of authors reach out regarding bulk copies and customs. One custom book is currently on sale on my Etsy for $20. That includes a design and paint. For authors who want to purchase more than 5 copies, this weekend, ending on Monday, I am running a special for $10 per book for special edition books. One color paints are just $5 per book and then for shipping it’s just based off of media mail pricing! These are going to be done through email or through dms on instagram or Etsy as I won’t be creating a listing on Etsy so I can honor these prices. Reach out today to get your bulk author paints! I will be working on these around regular orders, but it should be within 2 - 3 weeks of them being delivered to me. This is completely separate from blind dates with indie authors, but you are totally fine to do both! This special pricing will end Monday morning at noon. #bookaholic #literature #bookphotography #bookshelf #igreads #bookaddict #yabooks #booknerd #shortstory #scifi #reader #readinglist #readersofinstagram #novel #bookcommunity #bookreview #instabooks #thriftshop #bookshop #booklove #thriller #goodreads #currentlyreading #kindle

Surprise 🎉 We're excited to announce this short story by @robynsarty. We promised our readers 20 stories and we take that promise seriously. Enjoy poems by @scarlettlunastrange and @selinawriting Please enjoy this sweet Princess and the Pea retelling 💚 Can one find hope when the king wants you dead? Princess Bretta and Prince Dario's fathers might hate each other, but that hasn’t stopped their love from blossoming over their years of acquaintance. But when Prince Dario's father gets wind of their romance, he invokes the tradition of the Princess Tests to choose his son's bride. All looks lost until Princess Bretta's godmother shows up with a plan to keep her in the competition. Armed with only a pea as her clue, Bretta must face the most difficult test of all — one that might just turn deadly. A Renewed Hope, a retelling of The Princess and the Pea, is a standalone novella, complete with such tropes as "forbidden romance," "no spice friends to lovers," and "royal romance." It is part of the “Hope Ever After” series, a collection of twenty hopeful and uplifting fairy tale retellings. Each book is written by a different author so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the O.U.R. (Operation Underground Railroad) to rescue children from exploitation and trafficking.

Riva was sleeping when there were frantic knocks on their front gate. When Raj opened the door, it was the Commissioner of Police, one of his close friends. Riva thought he needed Raj’s help. But it was her he was asking for. Her husband made Prithvi sit and offered him a drink. The man looked like he could use one. She had never seen him that nervous. Granted, he still looked composed, but there were signs of stress. He tapped his foot on the floor till the couple sat with their drinks. “What can I do to help?” Riva asked as Raj placed his hand on hers. “I need you to come with me to the murder site, Ma’am.” He was a friend. But this was a professional request. Raj’s hand tightened around hers. “Why?” She asked. “I remember Raj telling me once about one of your novels. The scene I am coming from today. It is an eerie copy. As if someone has used your book as a guide.” Head to the link in bio to read the full story. #thrillerstories #shortstory #indianthriller #indianthrillerbook #indianmurdermystery #murdermysterybooks #indianwriter #indianshortstories

New Release! Murderbugs is a delightfully irreverent anthology of murderous insects sure to make you laugh. My story "The Rise and Fall of Frankie's Patisserie" is a noir/SF/comedy/cosmic horror (how's that for a mashup?) with a bakery thief seeking justice, murderous sentient honeybees, and enough noir tension to make you reach for that fifth of bourbon in your desk drawer. My favorite story in Murderbugs is "The Telltale Cricket" by @cr.lisle_author. Yes, it's told in the style of Edgar Allan Poe, and it had me absolutely cackling.

- Ada sebuah Kisah - tentang seorang kakak beradik yatim-piatu yang hidup di zaman peperangan. Sebut saja namanya Hendra (20) dan Rendra (11) Setiap harinya Hendra selalu bekerja keras untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dia dan adiknya, si Rendra. Namun di suatu ketika, ada hari dimana Hendra tak pernah kembali. Rendra sebagai seorang adiknya, merasa khawatir atas kehilangan Hendra. Hari demi hari dia menunggu kakaknya dengan perut laparnya. Pada awalnya, Rendra merasa sedih saat Hendra tak pernah kembali, namun semakin hari kesedihannya berubah menjadi kebencian. Dia merasa bahwa kakaknya telah menelantarkannya. Hingga akhirnya, Rendra pun bertekad mencari pekerjaan mencukupi hidupnya sendiri. Puluhan tahun pun berlalu, hingga suatu saat ketika Rendra (60) pergi ke restoran tradisional yang baru berdiri di pinggir kotanya. Dia mencium bau makanan yang familiar, itu adalah nasi goreng jawa. Rendra pun memesan nasi gorengnya dan dia memakan nasinya sambil menangis tersedu-sedu. Sang pelayan toko pun bertanya kepada Rendra kenapa dia bisa menangis, Si Rendra pun menjawab bahwa di tiap suapannya, dia merasakan momen saat memakan nasi goreng jawa tersebut bersama kakaknya. Itu adalah masa sulit dimana telur adalah suatu hal yang mewah, namun kakaknya selalu berkerja keras sehingga dia dan kakaknya bisa memakan telur setidaknya seminggu sekali. "Aku tidak tau apa yang terjadi pada kakakku di hari itu, aku membencinya karena dia tak pernah kembali. Namun, kufikir kebencian yang dipendam terlalu lama ini juga bisa disebut kerinduan. Aku benar-benar rindu dengan kakakku" ________________________ Terkadang kebencian yang kita pendam hanyalah sebuah kerinduan yang tak pernah kita hiraukan -@Mulaii_lagi Jangan lupa share postingan ini ke seseorang yang kamu benci🔥 ________________________ #dailyreminder #dailyquotes #quotes #quotespagi #quotesindonesia #quotestagram #kerinduan #shortstory #ceritapendek #ceritasedih #sadstory #motivasiindonesia #motivasicinta #motivasibelajar #motivasihidup #motivasionline #mentalhealth #kesehatanmental #mental

MY CHILDHOOD ADVENTURES (a short funny story about my childhood) PT 1. 🤣🤣🤤🤤 Many of us have done this, but let me just share my own experience. While I was a kid, I used to steal my mum's fish and meat many times. One day, I was in the kitchen with my mom boiling meat. We planned on cooking a delicious meal of fufu and eru later in the day. The aroma that came out of the pot was overwhelming me, but there was nothing I could do. I was fully aware of what the consequences would be if I made a move. Like an answer to my prayers, my mum left the kitchen suddenly. She went into the house to get something. That was my opportunity and I seized it. I got the kitchen rag and opened the boiling pot. With my bare hand, I removed a piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth. The searing pain I felt in my mouth was unbearable because it was very hot, but it was worth it. I struggled to chew the half-cooked but tasty piece of meat, but it's hotness wouldn't allow me. I shifted the meat from one end of my mouth to the other, then my hand and back into my mouth, hoping that it would cool off enough for me to eat it before my mum returned. But that was not to be. I thought of swallowing it whole, but that would have been a bad idea for two reasons: one, I wouldn't have enjoyed it's taste and two, it would have burnt the hell out of my throat. Then, in great shock and fear, I heard the approaching familiar footsteps of my mum. She was coming back to the kitchen. Time was against me. My mind, like a computer search engine searched for a solution and thankfully, one came. As my mum apprached the kitchen door, I left my seat and attempted to exit the kitchen. But I was too late. I had wasted too much time. I bumped into her at the door and received the first slap for walking carelessly.

was pleasantly surprised to get an email through last week letting me know i could download an exclusive short story in the DI Kim Stone universe! I immediately downloaded it & read it in one sitting, and thought it made such a good addition, especially as a prequel short story. Would recommend reading if you get the chance! Gave it 5⭐️ How do you feel about short stories/novellas from series you’re following? #bookstagramuk #smallbookstagram #shortstories #firstfight #kimstone #dikimstone #angelamarsons #dikimstoneseries #shortstory #bookishquestions #5starread

A man had a wife and a mistress and he didn't know who to choose as his Best. He decided to go see a wise man and find answers to his problem. He asked the wise man if he had to be with his wife or his mistress. The wise man looked at him and took two pots in his hands. One with a rose 🌹🌹 and the other with a cactus 🌵🌵 and asked him, "What will you choose if I ask you to choose one among these two pots? ". The man looked at him and smiled, " Obviously, I will choose the one with a rose 🌹🌹". The wise man smiled, " You proved that you are reckless and rushed. You don't deserve any of this pots either, since you choosed the one with a rose. Neither the one containing a rose 🌹🌹 nor the one with a cactus 🌵🌵. Some men driven by beauty chooses what seems to shine most. The rose 🌹🌹 is beautiful but will wither soon. But the cactus 🌵🌵 even though it is not very beautiful at first sight, remains the same, whatever the climate is. Dark green with thorns, but when bloom, offers you a beautiful flower. Your wife knows all your weaknesses, flaws and mistakes, but still love you for who you are. Your mistress doesn't want you whole but just the beautiful part. Your smiles, victories, caresses. Your wife loves your tears and defeats. She is beside you for better and for worse. When difficult times arrives, your mistress will go away and look for someone else. But your wife will always stay by your side no matter what. Don't look now that everything looks good. Things might not go that long. It's never too late. Don't despise the cactus 🌵🌵 to get the rose 🌹🌹. Time is coming when you will know the importance of the cactus. Until then, make the right decision. But one more thing, don't leave your diamond at home and go in search of stones somewhere else".
