Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist by OnceUponASonder

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.

Missing Like You by AbbyRoseTyler

When Isabelle Donovan doesn't show up for work one morning, it calls for great concern. Isabelle has a near perfect attendance record and wouldn't dare miss a day without giving notice. The police begin investigating right away and focus on her husband, Scott Donovan, who she separated from six months prior. Scott, who claims to know nothing about his wife's disappearance, is caught in a lie when Isabelle's best friend comes forward with new information. A year earlier, another young woman mysteriously vanished under similar circumstances to Isabelle and was never seen or heard from again. Her body was never found, but police were convinced it was the husband, though they could never prove it. Now, as the search for Isabelle continues, questions begin to surface. Why did her marriage really end? Is Scott telling the truth? And most notably, could there be a correlation to the other disappearance? But if there is, then Scott must be innocent. ... Or perhaps not. Because in this story, nobody is innocent.

Blocked by T_Nilanta_

Mia Jenkins has never fit in. As an orphan in the foster system, she's used to being alone, but nothing prepares her for the torment Chad Turner, the son of a powerful school trustee, brings into her life. After he assaults her, Mia's world crumbles. Chad twists the story, making it seem consensual, and soon, rumours and explicit photos spread, leaving Mia ostracized and broken. When she's on the verge of giving up, Mia finds solace in an unexpected place-a new phone gifted by her only friend, Andy. But when Mia sees a TikTok video mocking her trauma, posted by Chad's girlfriend, Hannah, she blocks her on social media out of sheer rage. The next day, Hannah disappears. At first, Mia doesn't think much of it-until it happens again. Another bully vanishes after Mia blocks them online, and the chilling discovery of Hannah's body with the word "Blocked" carved into her skin raises terrifying questions. Is Mia somehow responsible? Or is the phone she now carries imbued with a dark, mysterious power? As Mia grapples with guilt, fear, and a growing sense of control, the line between justice and vengeance blurs. What will happen when she blocks Chad himself? And more importantly, will she lose herself in the process? Is the phone a tool of justice or a curse? Can Mia stop before she goes too far, or is the darkness inside her already in control?
