By Mariah Shade

In "Twisted" we follow Princess Shastra a young runaway and her assailant who has been sent to take her home. Who will win in this strive of wants?

"The Ferris Wheel" is one of the first stories I wrote that got published in The Adelaide. It is about a young couple stuck on a Ferris Wheel, but the day takes a horrible turn when they get stuck in the air. Through rain and twist and turns it will have you wondering how it will end.

In "The Great Misadventure" we are under the waters of another planet where young Marla, an Acidum mercreature, is going beyond the kelp around her town for the first time. She finds a shark blocking the fields that her town needs to survive. How can they get rid of the shark can they save their fields?

"The Investigation" is a paranormal suspense story. Follow along as the main character goes through her memory and retelling of her story as this story unfolds. She will never be the same after this experience.

Follow young Holly in "The Snowmaggedon Festival" as she tries to win a plushie for her younger sister Jolly. This story follows the true spirit of family and will hopefully warm your heart.
