Into the Eye of Erin

|3X FEATURED · SHORTYS 2025 SHORTLIST · AULD LANG SYNE HONORABLE MENTION · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| #SupportPacificIslanderVoices Erin, a conflicted Elemental Spirit, embarks on a life-changing journey across the ocean as the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. *** Erin hasn’t been an Elemental Spirit for long, but she has watched the Earth change right before her, becoming more unrecognizable each day because of humans. As her first journey across the Atlantic Ocean approaches, she has one goal and one goal only: to eliminate the humans. Take them out one by one, starting with the Caribbean. As Erin moves her thunderstorms away from Cape Verde and begins organizing into a massive hurricane, she starts seeing the world from different perspectives: between ships, islands, animals, and even the Hurricane Hunters investigating her.  When she nears peak intensity in the Caribbean, Erin faces the toughest question of all: “Is this right, or am I just another monster?” That’s something the young hurricane must figure out on her own. *** *A short story inspired by Henry Loomis’s quote in Jurassic World Rebirth: “When the Earth gets tired of us, believe me, it will shake us off like a summer cold.”* *FYI: This is a story, not a science lesson, so don’t expect everything to be completely accurate.* *Moral: There is just as much good in the world as there is evil.* *Word Count: 5,000 exactly (500 words per chapter).*

The crown of shadows and Lies

In the cursed realm of Noctyrrh, night has ruled for centuries—an eternal darkness bound by a blood-forged curse that absorbs grief, memory, and truth to keep the realm alive. Lumi Reyes, twenty-two, is a rare Truth Bearer, gifted—and burdened—with the ability to hear the truths the night consumes. Her role is to interpret these truths for those in power, at the cost of her own certainty and identity. Blake Crowe, twenty-four, is the Dreadsword Prince: heir to a throne built on shadow, trained to rule a realm that cannot change. To stabilize political unrest and deter foreign powers, Lumi and Blake enter a strategic arrangement—publicly presenting as lovers to project unity and control. As they navigate court politics, rival factions, and the looming influence of the Concord (a coalition eager to exploit Noctyrrh’s curse), Lumi uncovers a devastating truth: the curse sustaining the realm is not eternal—it is transferable, and Blake is expected to inherit it. When betrayal within the council accelerates this plan, Lumi and Blake must choose between survival through sacrifice or dismantling the very power that defines their world. Their false relationship deepens into genuine love, complicating every decision. Lumi learns that the curse was never meant to be ruled—only endured until the people were strong enough to live without it. To break it, she must relinquish her identity as Truth Bearer, surrendering immortality, certainty, and power in exchange for a human life. Lumi chooses freedom. The curse unbinds. Noctyrrh survives—but altered, mortal, and finally capable of change. Blake refuses the crown, helping establish a flawed but accountable governance. Together, they learn to love without prophecy, power, or permanence. Years later, the night remains—not as a prison, but as a companion. Lumi’s stories preserve what truth no longer must. The novel closes on a quiet affirmation: endings are not failures, and love does not require destiny to endure.

Andrew Black

Andrew Black — A Tale of Levison Dalte is a dark, multi-part saga set in the kingdom of Wruning. It follows Levison, a young assassin shaped by violence, who at the age of twelve slit his own brother’s throat by request. Not just any request, but one made by the brother himself, and sanctioned by the Black Association, an infamous group of killers. Nine years have passed. The nightmares haven’t. Levi is still haunted by green eyes, black dragons and a brother who only ever asks one thing: forgiveness. But Levi doesn’t forgive. He doesn’t wish peace on the brother who left him behind to save himself. Levi wants him to suffer. And yet, it’s Levi who cannot escape the torment. Now, the name no one has dared to whisper since that blood-soaked night resurfaces alongside secrets that threaten the very foundations of the Black Association… and the bearable existence Levi has only just managed to carve out for himself, a life stitched together not with joy, but with survival. It begins with a letter. A request for death. Sent to Andrew Black “the Father” to his sons and reigning head of the Association by none other than Merlissa Highmore, the beloved niece of the king. Heartbroken and desperate, she pleads for her life to end. Andrew sends his most troubled, most loyal assassin to assess the situation. Levison. Neither man expects what follows. What begins as a simple mission spirals into a war of ghosts and grief, dragging them all into a web of loss, vengeance, and unraveling identities. For Levi, what was meant to be a clean job becomes something far messier, something sweeter. Bound by shared tragedy, Merlissa and Levi find themselves entangled in a love with an expiration date. Because once Andrew Black accepts your name… survival is never part of the deal. Still, Levi hopes. Through Merlissa, and through others—Gavin, his cheery and devoted servant; Audria, the crown princess hiding a double life; Mortis, the old, caring physician; Hugh, a fellow “Son”; and Master Luu, Levi’s brutal mentor —Levi starts to open his heart again. But for every step forward, death drags him back two thousand steps.
