A high school senior, Connor Norwood, gets a job working at a Haunted House so he can earn some money that he can use to buy Christmas presents for his family. It doesn’t turn out exactly as he plans, because a spirit is taking objection to what he’s doing. So, how will this work out?

My entry for the Sub-Genre Rewrite the Prompt Challenge. Mystery Noir/Hard-Boiled. A hardened and weary detective sees a lady in over her head and the only spark of good left in his soul compels him to intervene.

Rio Shal'Darim is a city ripe with conflicts. With the upper city and the lower city tearing at its once magnificent land, will there be a chance for hope to rise again? Or will its inhabitants be trapped forever in an endless swirl of darkness?

After one man dies in the real world, he wakes up to find he has transmigrated into Red Riding Hoodie, the worst novel he ever had the misfortune of reading.

As he awakens, he's greeted by the Re: Life System, who tells him his "account" is now bound to the character Hal Schuyler, the original hero of the novel (who is petty and a huge asshole). He realizes he has to change the story to avoid being killed by the main character's sometimes friend, Alaric. But the System has other ideas, not allowing him to act too out-of-character to avoid derailing the plot.

A kindness, an example, a bond, an aspiration, a lesson, a thought. No more, no less.

Inspired by Jan Hutchinson’s prompts for National Poetry Writing Month 2023.

As I said somewhere else, I won’t manage to write a poem a day this April. The start was delayed, as I didn’t want to bore you with unimaginative rants giving righteous indignation and certain occurrences too many words and importance.
