“This is an exert from my novel (possibly series?) That I am writing.” by Cam Croz

Bonita  When the sun set in the town of Bonita, it lowered with precision, falling precisely between the two lush hills off in the distance. Most of the town, by that time, would then be in their homes getting ready for the perfect, calm, and peaceful night ahead of them. No interruptions, no disturbances.   See, Bonita was a small town. Nobody knew where it was, or how it got there. Most didn’t even know it existed. Nobody ever left or came. It was dark and silent at night, but when the sun rose, so did everybody else. And on...

“Visionarys.” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #15

~Prologue:“RUN!” the man shouted. “They're coming!”“Who?” The woman demanded.“The hunters, the visionary hunters.”Genuine fear fell across the woman's face.“Find a nurse! Take care of the child!” he told her.“Very well.” the woman gazed at her large stomach. Then she walked into the castle. Where the doctors were waiting.---When she was born, they called her beauty, her mother did, the nurses and doctors did, even the grumpy, old cat took a liking to her. As they all had stated, the child was indeed ravishing. Her small tufts of hair we...

“I Write The Songs. (Note: this is based off of the song "I Write the Songs" by Barry Manilow.)” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #14

I’ve been alive forever. And when I say forever I mean, forever. In fact, I wrote the very first song, sort of. It was one of my more great accomplishments. I guess you could say it was one of his greatest accomplishments, but it was not he who thought up of the words or wrote the music. Not really. It was actually me.O------------------------------------------------------------O He was a bright young man, and, like any boy his age, was constantly hoping and wishing that someday he would be well known, and liked by everybody. He was my...

Submitted to Contest #13

I never thought that the most important day of my life would turn out like this…A trip to the store.A friend.A wig.A party.Some food.More friends.And most importantly... a cat.But before any of that, it was just me. Me, alone. In my house. --- To anybody else, It would have been just like any other day in the world, but for me, it was more than that.  For me, it was the start of a new life.  New house. New neighborhood. New school. New everything. From this point on, everything would be different. I’d never lived in such ...

“The Woman with a Locket.” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #12

The clock ticked and tocked into the skull of the chief of police's head. The man doubted that there was anybody who could not have a headache after listening to it for more than thirty seconds. Sometimes he could think of it as soothing (usually only on days when there was nothing that needed to be done). But that rarely was the case. There was always something or other going on at all times. All the man wanted was some peace and quiet.  "Mr. Chief Sir?!" a squeaky high pitched voice called over the loudspeaker on his desk. "Sir? Your ...

“Letters to a Special Someone.” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #11

My Dearest, I know that you might not know who I am, but you should know how much you mean to me. I was too scared to confess my feelings to you when I saw you last, but that’s alright because I can just do it here, in the safety of my own room. In the warmth of my own bed.  I just want you to know that I admire you and everything you stand for.  And that I love you. The girl sighed as she finished her letter. Her letter for the kindest most caring boy in her school. She had fallen head over heels for him the first time she’d seen ...

“It Will be Okay.” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #10

"Vroom!" The bright young child said, mimicking the sound of a car engine as she slid her neon green race car across the plush carpet."Vroooom!"Cars were her favorite, and the little girl just couldn't wait till' she turned 16 would finally be able to drive one...Legally anyway.Just the mere idea of cars fascinated her tiny mind. They moved you from place to place with the push of a button and could always be relied on to get you wherever you were going in record timing. Much better than her rickety old bike anyway. Although the girl's bike ...

“ It Was Halloween” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #8

Have you ever heard of the abandoned school? The school my mama attended to when she was my age. Nobody knows what happened to it. My mama seems to have forgotten.  Anita Dunlap, my very best friend, told me that two bats live there. One short and stubby and the other long and windy. Of course, she was joking. Such a silly thing could never be real. “Ivette it's time for school” my mama hollered, “You're going to be late.” It was Halloween today. The sky was inky black, my window was all foggy. The spooky touch that Halloween brings wa...

“Living Bomb” by Cam Croz

Submitted to Contest #7

So many people take advantage of life's many pleasures. Accepting all the gifts they are given without really opening them, without really appreciating them. People here have a love-hate relationship with pretty much anything that really matters in our world, and they don't even realize it."My family is so weird. I wish my parents were like yours," They'll say, when really, deep deep down they would never trade their family for anything.Of course, they don't realize this. In fact, I'm not sure they ever will. Not for a long time. To them fam...

Author bio

1. I dont understand why people feel the need to downvote -_- Do you really have that much hate in you that you must take so much time out of your day just to make others feel bad??? Let me tell you its NOT a good feeling for me to see the points I've been collecting since 2019!!!! BEING STOLEN FROM ME SO SUDDENLY!!!!!! PLEASE. STOP. 2. You are the reason Reedsy has become less of a place where any writers, whether they be anywhere between just starting out to the experts can share stories and give feedback. This was supposed to be a place to improve upon writing and create a community where you get feedback and love for your pieces. But that has changed. 3. The whole feel of Reesdy has become less earning points by writing and improving each week, but is now a place where one must rely on connections to get by. Getting on the leaderboard is no longer attained by putting in time to write stories that you are proud of and publishing them, but by how much you are up, or downvoted. Frankly I miss the old Reedsy and I dont know if it will ever be the same. 4. This is the reason I don't know if I will continue to publish on Reedsy. If I ever do It will be for myself, and my own wants and needs. I sincerely LOVE getting feedback on my writing, and that is why I have stuck with this tainted system for so long. 5. And I love all of you who have been there to give positive feedback and support to others! Keep up the love please and make Reedsy a better place for me? ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 - heres my old bio: 💜 Here is random stuffs 'bout yours truly: I'm just your average teenager, set on writing something great one day.
