Ahoy

Backstabber by Aurelie Kostova

Chapter 1 – Escape The gentle sound of hammering raindrops lurches me out of my sleep. My clothes are soaked through, and I’m shivering. I slowly get up, the spiky leaves, sticks, pebbles, bugs and other annoying naturey things sticking to my damp skin and getting inside my pants and…

When the Nights Become Longer by Phoebe Harris

Specimen 400012 by Bertie Atkin
