Shawn Long Way Down Novels & Stories

The first time I went to the boutique to try on wedding dresses, I stumbled upon the staff playing their game of “Guess the Bride.” The big screen inside was displaying the package my fiancé had reserved. Eager to snag the commission, the makeup artist spoke up first: “I remember the bride is petite and delicate. She looks absolutely stunning in a mermaid dress.” The photographer chime in: “She has straight bangs and two dimples when she smiles.” “Oh, right—and a red mole on her collarbone. She looks best in an off-shoulder gown.” I froze right on the spot. I had waist-length, voluminous waves, no dimples, and certainly no mole. The person they were describing fit my best friend—Charlotte Ho

It's like they were fated to be. I took the paper bag from his hand in an instant, super fast like a fucking lightning. We both let out a gasp as the paper bag slipped from my hand, and fell down to the ground. “Fuck-” I said, more like whispering to myself as I watch the scene in horror. My panty was not inside the paper bag anymore. It fell down to the ground when the paper bag slipped from my hand just now. Jordan also froze there as a group of students stopped right where my panty just fell. Oh my god.

It took about twenty-five minutes or maybe thirty minutes on the bus to get to the destination because of the traffic jams, whereas usually it only takes fifteen to twenty minutes. Tania went down first followed by Henry. Henry looked at the road to the house's complex hoping that maybe a few memories would come back if he paid close attention to the area. Maybe he used to live here, otherwise, why was he stuck in this area for so long? "This is it," Tania stopped in front of the narrow alley, where Henry had first met her.

“Now, we’ll be inviting the producers of Out of My Way, I’m Going to Be a Billionaire on stage!” Harmonia did not even bother listening to the synopsis. She just lifted her plate. Divorcing a sc*mbag and becoming a billionaire was much more enticing than becoming a pimp, prostitute, and mistress, okay?! Soon, Absalom and Dominic lifted their plates. Mark Wilson smiled and teased them. “Mr. Terran, Mr. Weber, I noticed that you two will always lift your plates whenever Ms. Marsh does the same.” Then, right before everyone’s eyes, Absalom picked up the microphone and said, “I trust her judgment.”

After kneeling in the snow for so long, I blacked out after only taking a few steps. When I came to, the white ceiling and Thomas' face came into view. He'd returned to his usual, stern composure. With a cold expression, he set a steaming bowl of tomato soup on the bedside table. "Have you learned your lesson?" I stayed silent and kept my head down, refusing to meet his eyes. My knees still ached, and after three whole hours of being out in the cold, my throat hurt so badly I could hardly speak.

When my mom ran in, I didn't have the strength to move anymore. She saw me lying on the floor, my wrist soaked in blood. She completely panicked. "Kevin!" She lunged forward and scooped me up. Her hands were shaking as she pressed down on my wound. Her voice trembled. "Stay awake! Look at me! Open your eyes!" But I couldn't hear her anymore. My hearing aid had fallen out when I fell. I could see her lips moving. I could see the color draining from her face. And in that moment, I felt so tired. More tired than on any single day in the last three years.

Tears streamed down my face as I replied, "It's alright. Thank you, Connor." All of a sudden, he got on one knee and fished out a ring from his pocket. Gazing at me, he said, "Sydney, I know this is far from the dream proposal you deserve, but I've waited for ten years, and I can't bear to wait even another second longer. Sydney Morrigan, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I smiled. "Yes, I will." Aside from being engaged, I received another piece of good news that day: Connor had called for help, and I had gotten sent to the hospital just in time. If I had waited even a few minutes more, my leg would have been beyond saving.

Ruby flung her phone across the room in a rage. Suddenly, Jack burst through the door, barely able to hide his excitement. "Honey, we've got a way out! Grand Globe Group, the company we've been trying to reach, just sent me a message. They're interested in our project and want to talk about a follow-on investment. With that money, we can hire a top-tier team out of Digital Valley. Once that happens, those old men won't have anything left to say, and the project can keep moving!" -

She held Ralph's hand once she's done wiping her hands clean and went to the second floor. ***....... "Veron! Behind you!" Suzan shouts to Veron before she turns to look at Shon and Malik. Shon right now using the bee army to protect himself and attack the superhuman army using the snakes and centipedes. He uses all the animals that have venom to make the attacker paralyzed by his little army.

The day the university released the family placement positions for doctoral graduates, I went straight to the Human Resources Office to register. But the staff member barely looked up before rolling their eyes. "Mr. Slater, everyone at this university knows you cheated on your wife and are about to leave the marriage with nothing. How do you still have the nerve to ask about the placement position?" I thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding. I rushed home, hoping to explain everything to my wife, only for my mother to slap me across the face. "I don't have a shameless son like you. Get out of Natalie's house!" I was driven back to the rural school where I had spent the past
