Nocturnal Wonderland Novels & Stories

She then began to look for a way to open the skylight. She looked under the bed for a remote that might have dropped, but could not find it. She then searched the dresser, recliner, and closet, but still, nothing was found. She soon began to touch the small buttons on the windowsill. She heard a soft hum and looked around to see what had changed. A beam of light shot from her right and it began to grow. Hae Mina stepped back and watched the walls retract and reveal the night and ocean. She climbed on the sill and used the headboard to rest her back on as she watched the moonbeams dance on the waves.

I flopped back unto the chair like a rag doll. Damn! I was messed up now. I picked up my phone and winced at the bright light that hit my eyes. What! The time said 13 midnight. But that can't be right, so I shook my head to clear the cobwebs, but that just made me dizzy. Everywhere was spinning. I tried standing up again, but slipped and fell. I cackled gleefully. This was hilarious. I decided to lay on the floor and blacked out thereafter. ***********

The boy is having a nightmare. I want to help. I want to wake him up. I want to flip him over so his nose is not in the pillow. But I couldn't do anything. I have been watching him for forty-one nights. His mother tucks him in at eight-thirty. She reads one story—always the one about the rabbit who gets lost and finds his way home. She kisses his forehead. She turns on the star-shaped nightlight. She closes the door, but leaves it open just a crack so the hallway light spills in like a promise.

Black as midnight. A phantom.

I tried to sleep but nothing worked, not even counting sheep. I drifted off into a short slumber, but something kept rubbing my face. It wouldn't stop hovering around me. I pried my eyes open and so a tree branch poked into my room from the window. That was weird and I didn't need anything creepy, it was already one in the morning. I sat up and looked at the tree branch at my window, how did it get in here?. I tried to lift it off my bed but before touching it, it moved to a standing position. I shifted to the edge of the bed in horror, covering myself with my favorite duvet.

She felt so badass. Ellie wanted to meet with the old Japanese couple she met in her shop but the two went on a trip abroad. But to make up for that, he and Ryo had a hiking trip and camped for a night. It was such a perfect night because there was a meteor shower then. The sky was so dark in the countryside and the stars twinkled against it. They stayed up huddled around a campfire and watched the meteors pass across the sky. It was so dreamy; it felt like they were in a movie.

Or even my pack. This was not my room. I repeated springing awake and staring in awe. The room was way bigger than the small bedroom of mine at the Packhouse. The red drapes against the black stone.. Except that wasn't stone. It was obsidian. Obsidian was rare and extremely valuable yet durable all the same. I had heard the stone was able to last for decades against all kinds of plunders. Who in their right mind had enough gold to spend on an obsidian room? I groaned rubbing my temples feeling as though the shadows stretching along the wall was watching me. I eyed it warily along with the strange room. Where in Goddesses name was I?

Anyway, the best ride we are saving for last is the major attraction of Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park——the iconic Wonder Wheel. And because today’s weather is permitting, we heard that there will be an exceptional fireworks show tonight, forty-five minutes later. It will be so perfect if we’re up there in the passenger car 150 feet high atop to watch it, including the night Coney Island beach and Manhattan skyline in sight. The colorful flaming flowers blooming in the dark sky, fluorescent sparkles dropping down drawing lines on the dark canvas, reflecting on the surface of the ocean… How lovely would it be? It would be so romantic if we could kiss, but sadly not today, not when I am He

Kai, age 10 The night had fallen thick and heavy over the A****n, a darkness so profound it seemed to devour the world. The air hung heavy with moisture, carrying the rich scent of damp earth and exotic flora. The jungle's nocturnal symphony pulsed with life - the distant howl of a howler monkey, the rustle of unseen creatures in the undergrowth, the haunting call of a nightjar. But tonight, an undercurrent of tension thrummed beneath the familiar sounds, setting Kai's nerves on edge.

Right then, Rosa arrived with a new pair. “Here, Luna,” she offered with a smile. I exhaled and sighed back. Finally a face I wanted to see. “Rosa, what should we do this evening?” I asked. “I've made arrangements for you to go stargazing,” the Alpha answered. I kept my eyes straight on Rosa with my face still expectant. She blinked cluelessly. Then she looked to the Alpha and back at me. “Ehm... We could go stargazing, my Luna,” she answered.
