    Chapter 1

    I wrote a story about an Escape room for one of the anthos ages ago. Based on that story and this story, I will consider it very carefully if ever asked to go to one The creep factor here was off the charts. Just looking a beach gives me the heebie-jeebies. I really felt the tension and did not expect the twist at the end. Well done, SA!

    Chapter 1

    It's a difficult road sometimes to live life as our authentic selves, and realizing that we only have ourselves to rely on when people betray us. Although Tim has Nanna in his corner, which is awesome. Hopefully Thet will live up to his name at some point in his life. And I totally groaned at the pun.

    Oh wow. This story was quite the gut-punch. I can't imagine living your whole life with the guilt of knowing you caused your little brother's death, even if it was accidental. I loved how Phineas became Markus' guardian angel, and I imagine he disappeared at the end because he was escorting Harold home. Well done, SA.

    Gotta love greed and entitlement. I'm glad bio family got their karma in the end, and that Bruce and Kirby got their HEA. I enjoyed this story.

    Nice twist. I enjoyed the humor of this and the happy ending.

    A murder of crows... 😁 I loved it.

    Chapter 1

    London Bridge is falling down... And East Karjackistan. I have an author in mind, so we'll see if they're on Cia's list 😁

    Chapter 1

    Oh my... I had a specific author in mind for a different story, but now I think I may have to change my mind. That was... hilariously twisted

    Chapter 1

    I'm with Luca on the motion sickness. All I have to do is look at a boat and I'll puke I'm glad they were able to reveal their true feelings for each other. I really hope they make it to shore.

    Short and sweet. I totally get that group of friends. Cute story!

    Chapter 9

    Horses are amazing creatures. You should definitely give them a try

    Chapter 8

    I think the fences around mini golf courses are there as a challenge

    Chapter 3

    The Tor is an amazing experience! We definitely planned on climbing it at least once, figuring on later in the trip. I was not able to do a lot of conditioning to get myself in shape for the trip, so was worried about how I would handle it. So when did we actually go? The first night, of course! After the long flight, on 2 days with minimal sleep, and in the early evening on the day of the eclipse. And. I. Did. It. Took a while to get to the top, but I freaking made it. It's one of the proudest achievements of my life! There were so many people there, celebrating the eclipse. It truly was a magical experience. The town itself has an energy to it, not found here. I could go on and on, but I'll stop now. If you do end up going, be sure to visit the Abbey too.

    Chapter 3

    The title and King Arthur connection was definitely deliberate. I spent two weeks last year in Glastonbury, England, which is steeped in Arthurian legend and lore. Fascinating place which I highly recommend visiting. And yeah, the boyfriend can totally stay away

    Chapter 2

    As much as I love homemade mac and cheese, nothing beats the comfort of good ol' Kraft Dinner. With extra butter, of course

    Chapter 1

    Buckle up because it's one hell of a bumpy ride! I'm glad you decided to check it out

    Chapter 1

    It's the writer's style and wording that makes me think I know who wrote it. I don't read horror on a regular basis, but will read them in the antho or SA contest as well.

    Chapter 1

    I'm glad Darren didn't have to go into the system after the loss of his parents. How heartbreaking for him, but he'll have the support of Angel and his family. I'm pretty sure I know who wrote this one

    Chapter 1

    Very unique twist with using the aliens as the vehicle for Liam and Neil to reveal their feelings. I like how the aliens communicated with Neil and fixed their 'mistake'. I enjoyed this story.

    Chapter 1

    I wonder how many "other lives" Henry has left behind Interesting story with a twist at the end that was unexpected. Well done, SA!
  21. This has always been one of my favorites too.

    Chapter 1

    This is a good start, but I definitely want more. This has the makings of a full novel based on the snippets of world-building in this slice of life piece. I had to... slice... scallopini 😁 Pretty sure I know who wrote this one

    Chapter 1

    I definitely related to Jake's reticence at going to his reunion. And can I just say that how the frick is the class of 2005 twenty years ago??? I graduated twenty years ago! Oh wait... with my Masters degree... Anyway, I haven't attended any of my HS reunions because I have no desire to go back to that time in my life. I thought this was a well-written story, and I enjoyed it. I'm glad Jake and Derek were able to finally reveal the truth of their feelings for each other.

    Chapter 1

    Oh what a tangled web we weave... I'm glad it untangled and everything worked out perfectly!
  25. Like for many others, Ozzy was an icon of my youth. I remember being on the bus in fifth grade and my BFF at the time putting a cassette in a tape deck and blasting Black Sabbath. It was my first introduction to Ozzy, and my BFF was considered the coolest kid around for doing that. Sadly, he ended up passing way too young after cleaning himself up after a troubled youth. Rock on, Ozzy and Cory. Rock on.
