🏆 SHORTLIST - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025

Two teenagers embark on a cross-country music tour to outrun the threat of war and curtailed creative freedom.
                                                                              ⋯⋯⋯
As Ash finishes identifying his parents' remains from a full-blast attack, he should have stopped writing silly songs. With rebels controlling the country bit by bit comes the diminishing right to express themselves, so when a boy with a lopsided grin and penchant to chase trouble convinces Ash to perform his music, he only has one answer―no. 

But Jet has a way of getting what he wants, and there is no way Ash can let a golden boy run off on his own. With only a beat-up neon-pink car, a patched guitar, an obnoxious red pen, and a battered polaroid, Jet and Ash embark on a cross-country tour to make a name for themselves, outrunning authorities, and maybe even Fate itself.

What can go wrong...right?

From the award-winning author of 𝘋𝘪𝘦 𝘢 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘈𝘳𝘭𝘰 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, comes a story of young love, the fight for freedom, and the eternal struggle for meaning set in a world of oppression and violence. There are many ways to the end, and it is up to us to choose which path to take.

The Lighthouse's Reflection || HONORABLE MENTION by FoxLock34

🏆ONC 2025 HONORABLE MENTION 🏆 A lone lighthouse keeper watches over the coast, tending to her light as the sea rages beyond. The storms are nothing new-neither is the solitude. She is content with the quiet rhythm of her life, the crash of waves against the cliffs, the scent of salt and parchment filling her days. But when a shipwreck leaves a battered stranger at her doorstep, the tide of her world begins to shift. The man is rough-edged, a relic of salt and shadow, with secrets hidden beneath his scars. He speaks of a past that the waves should have swallowed, of maps inked in the margins of forbidden books, of love letters lost to time. Trapped together by a storm that refuses to pass, they share stories by lantern light-one seeking refuge, the other searching for something long forgotten. Yet not all ghosts are content to stay buried, and not all storms end when the sky clears. Whispers of war linger in the distance, and the truth he carries may threaten the safe harbor she has built for herself. As the past and present begin to intertwine, she must decide-will she cling to the safety of her lighthouse, or will she risk everything to follow the reflection of something new? -- Cover by @Heuristic_Hashmath

Whiteface by BlueJay325

A city gleaming in gold...and dripping with blood. //// Jacquarious Whelan liked his old school, but his parents didn't. Fed up with the violence and drug arrests erupting within the Browning Heights educational district, Pierre and LaKwesha enroll their son in Goldengate Academy, an idyllic campus filled to the brim with fair skin and wealthy pockets. Fearless to defy the expectations of the his familial circle's more derisive members, Jacquarious soars amid this new environment. He makes his mark quickly as both a talented sportsman and a budding essayist, impressing his doting English teacher so thoroughly that she nets him a position writing for her husband's national news column. Championing the causes of the oppressed and the socially downtrodden, Jacquarious dons the moniker Whiteface as he assumes the tentative mantle of bringing present-day injustice to light through gripping headlines and scathing editorials. But not all eyes in his new and glinting community look on with approval at the pseudonymous writer's meteoric rise to stardom. As a string of increasingly racially motivated crimes breaks out, bearing the mark of a killer eerily familiar with secrets far too intimate for Jacquarious to ignore, the members of a cookie-crusted city smothered in endless cream find themselves in the midst of a horror too terrifying for words, a reckoning near unfathomable, a nightmare drenched in blood...blood that may well be Jacquiarious's very own.
