[ONC 2022 SHORTLISTER]



In a small city, catering services are not the best business to opt for - too late for Lucas Schneider to realize that. With a catering company on the verge of bankruptcy, he is at his wits end. He has no choice but to give up on his dream job not until a certain Mr. Pheles decides to hire him.

The event? A midnight celebration at their mansion. The payment? A hundred thousand dollars for the whole night.

The menu? It's better if you don't know.

***

This is for ONC 2022
PROMPT 20: You manage a catering company. The latest request has a few... interesting menu items.

The End & The Beginning by NEosHoward
17 parts Complete Mature
Oops! I accidentally summoned a demon! When a crazy man threatens her family if she doesn't kill the man holding them all hostage, Eve comes up with her own plan to keep her family safe. What she doesn't expect is that her sacrifice is only the beginning. Note: This began as a #WITWContest challenge, but became a mild obsession as I fell in love with it. It's still a one-shot but is now a not-so-short short-story with all the answers to the questions you had when reading that first chapter. How did she get there? Where did he take her? And so much more! TW: violence, mentions of trafficking, food/housings insecurity, and domestic neglect All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel the MC and demons are all pansexual, all demons/angels are intersex (closest definition possible since they're not human), and much of the supporting cast is also LGBTQ+. Releases for this story are WEEKLY on Tuesdays until the story is finished publishing. Contests/competitions this story is participating in: * The Turquoise Quill Awards 2025 * Shut Up and Write Awards 2025 * The Freedom Awards 2025

🏆 ONC 2021 Ambassador's Pick, Shortlister, & HONORABLE MENTION To the outside world, young novelist Cristina Castillo appears to have nothing but success. With four published works under her belt, she is a literary wunderkind. But behind closed doors, she has a secret shame: countless notebooks filled with unfinished stories. Cristina's waking mind is plagued with the underdeveloped characters, incomplete plots, and cliché themes of her countless abandoned and discontinued tales. So many dreams, forgotten. While attending the release party for her latest published novel, Cristina comes face-to-face with none other than the protagonist of one of her most beloved (and unfinished) passion projects. He tells Cristina that he wants an ending for his story. And he warns her: he is not her only forsaken character seeking fulfillment. As Cristina's vengeful creations begin coming out of the woodwork, she is plunged into the depths of her very vivid and expansive imagination. A journey of humor, adventure, terror, and startling self-discovery ensues as Cristina tries to return to reality. She soon learns, however, that the only way to escape the fictional worlds she dreamed into being is to appease her creations by writing their endings. *Rated MATURE for language 32,000+ words ☆☆ FEATURED STORY ~ Eight Times!!

[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?
