3 Short Stories Volume II

By Dr. Monica Henderson

The Break In
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for four struggling friends in their early twenties, the answer to their problems seems clear-robbery.
Dominique, a charming but reckless queer Latino bank teller, lives far beyond his means, often spending extravagantly to impress his lovers. When he spots an opportunity for a high-stakes heist, he brings the idea to his friends. Heather, a tough and independent Asian tomboy, dreams of escaping her toxic home life, but her paycheck as a shoe store manager barely covers the basics. Tommy, a hardworking white mechanic, sacrificed his education to support his high school sweetheart and their child. Now, with eviction looming, he's willing to risk everything to keep his family afloat. Then there's Michael-better known as Big Mike-who, despite his small stature, is the wild card of the group: fearless, impulsive, and always chasing the next adrenaline rush.
Together, they plan the heist that could change their lives forever. But as the pressure mounts and loyalties are tested, they'll have to decide: Is the score worth the risk-or will their desperation lead to their downfall?

Breakup Camp

Call on the Devil

Kyra Zywicki is an ordinary teen with a not-so-ordinary curiosity. When a viral social media challenge called Call on the Devil sweeps the internet, she can't resist the temptation. The game has only three rules-and rumors of terrifying consequences. Some say nothing happens. Others... are never heard from again.
Determined to uncover the truth, Kyra follows the steps. But what begins as a thrill-seeking dare quickly spirals into a nightmare that blurs the line between myth and reality. Because once you call on the Devil, he might just answer.
