Karen gasped as a wave of consciousness flooded through her body. Ever since the alien invasion that happened just recently, she was knocked out cold. She didn't know how long she was knocked out, nor why she wasn't taken by the aliens.She sat up, wincing as her body ached under the pressure. Her head throbbed, and her muscles felt like a plate of jello."Hello?" She called. The terrain around her was desolate. "Mom? Dad? Ricky?" Her family didn't reply. She started to quiver with fear, and with cold as the icy wind whipped against her bare s...

“The Golden Gift” by Ashlyn Feld -

I had to get something for her. I couldn't let this year pass without giving her something to tell her I cared."Austin, stop pacing the floor, what's going on?" Mom said, tapping her foot."Mom, it's nothing. It's something I can deal with on my own." I said."You look tense. What's on your mind, hon?" She said, taking me by the shoulders and walking me to the couch. We...

“Hey, speaking of my name, where is that adorable little child, who happens to share my nickname?” Tobias said. Austin and Abby both looked at each other.“I thought he was with you!” They said at the same time. Mom looked at Alex.“You had him last, Alex!” Maddy said.“I set him down next to his parents!” Alex said. Just then, I heard a scream from behind me.

“Land of the Wanted: Plane Crash on Carakulin Island (Novel Snippet)” by Ashlyn Feld -

“JESSICA!” A faded familiar voice screamed. I felt a strong arm grab my shirt collar. “W-W-Who-” I was so cold, and so overcome with fear that I couldn’t finish my sentence. I suddenly felt a stabbing, burning pain in my arms, “OW!” I screamed. It was the ropes from the parachute. They were getting tighter with every movement, and they slowly dug into my skin, My head then went underneath the water again, and the strong arm pulled me up. After a few moments, I was placed on dry ground. My head was pounding, and my eyes hurt so bad from...

You made it out of my fiery realm of death I see. Good progress. Get off your butts and keep moving. To retrieve the next key, you must cross the river, and hike up Mt Kestler.

We started walking, but I stopped in my tracks. “How are we gonna get across the river?” I aske...
