Hello!

This isn’t a story, it’s just for anyone who really actually does check my posts, if so, thank youuu :). Most important: AshQuill isn’t really working out the best for me, and the website is being debated to be taken down because it does cost money and the pre-paid portion is over, since it never gained much traction in the year I had it up. I really love this website, but I have found out that I’m not the type of writer to post my book as I write it, it doesn’t feel fair to

Chapter 5, Part 3: Almost Dead Without hesitation, Evelynn wrenched the door open, bolting down the hallways she’d thought she’d known her whole life, now turned red, filtered, and unbearably hot . Sweat beaded on her brow, not looking behind her out of fear that she might see something there that she didn't want to be. The panic fueled her burning leg muscles to move faster,   faster, faster, and faster until the sounds of the monster wouldn’t make her ears ring, faster u

Chapter 5, Part 2: The Red World Evelynn bounded up the steps, breathing heavily. Her palms struggled to grasp support that could keep up with her rapid pace, adrenaline coursing through her veins like she was high. Crashes rang through the stairwell, motions behind her a chaotic mess that shook the building. A cough rang about her as dust fell from above, a gray powder that made her gut twist. It seemed like the concrete wasn’t holding up much longer. There was nothing to

Author’s Note: Merry Christmas, guys! I hope you enjoy. I’m going to try and update soon, but I have been working on another book recently that I don’t put on here, and I actually got pretty far, but anyway, enjoy! <3 A bitter chill breezed by, making Death clench his fists tighter as he strolled. The winter was not his favorite time of year. Houses nearby were decorated with colorful lights and animals, a jolly yet stale air about the scene. He met her on the porch, alrea

Author Recommendation: Read this while listening to the song "Till Forever Ends (Live)" by Grace Power. Death walked through the darkening streets, leaves crunching quietly under his tread. This was unusual for him, to feel the peace of a fall breeze on his monstrous form. Children dressed in strange costumes, resembling ghosts and zombies, pass by him, heading home with their parents. They couldn’t see him, his own choice. He knew all of them, could feel the life left in th

Chapter 5, Part 1: Flickers Evelynn shifted to peer around the fort. The air felt thicker, almost, with a red sheen on it all like those colored glasses she used to play with as a kid. Except now seeing the world like this felt strangely unsettling. Her stomach turned like a washing machine, over and over, as she got up. Alex was no longer next to her. Jack was gone from the corner. In fact, everyone else was completely gone. She blinked, quite a few times, trying to tell i

Chapter 4, Part 2: Back to Base Everyone felt a collective fall from disappointment as the key failed to unlock the door. The night janitor pulled the key out and threw it on a nearby table. Evelynn felt her anxiety crash over in a wave. Now she gave them all the wrong keys. It was not going to give her more popularity points. “Well, that’s discouraging,” The man said, frowning, shoulders sagging slightly. Evelynn walks back out of the room. She didn’t want to hear their d

By Ashlynn Blue ~ Recommendation by author, Ashlynn Blue : Best read while listening to the song "Fourth of July" by Sufjan Stevens.~ A pleasant breeze flowed through the air as Death himself arrived at that little spot. It was the end of a small town he knew, where there was a small cliff behind the gas station overlooking the forest nearby. His eyes roamed immediately to the reason he had appeared here. The girl. She was standing peacefully at the edge, watching the co
