Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began.
Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself.
Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become.

Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

Christmas Lights is my very first Cell Phone Novel (CPN).


If you don't know what a Cell Phone Novel means, let me clear it up for you.


The cell phone novel is a remarkably unique new form of writing, fusing serialized online storytelling with simple haiku-like poetic technique and with prose narrative. Each chapter or page is at most 200 words, but usually averaging around 50-100 words, using white space, line breaks, fragments, free flow poetry, deeply personal thoughts, emotions, and onwards. As it is about the literary culture, form and style, there is no restriction of genres or content.


(extract from the website/blog created by @Takatsu who brought CPN to English literature - according to CellPhoneNovel).


The story showcases happenings taking place during 2009 and 2017 simultaneously.


Numbers like 1, 2 and 3 stand for present happenings (taking place in 2017).


Numbers within brackets like (1), (2) and (3) stand for past happenings (taking place during 2009).


I wrote this as a kid 8 years ago so there's that. yet it is still one of the best stories I've ever told.
