Initial Tales: A collection of short stories

By Soulful Heart

IRIS

In a world where everything is devoid of color, Iris is a vivid exception. She has an exceptional aura, one that is rainbow-like and full of emotions and thoughts, a reflection of her unique ability to communicate through telepathy. But this gift that makes her different from others also makes her a target of bullying and isolation. Iris tries hard to fit in; she longs for acceptance and understanding from those around her.

GRUNGE DREAMS

Lacey Barlow knows what she wants. Her own little office in a New York high-rise, pungent of ink and journalistic spirit.
As a daytime gossip columnist, she has the spirit, the knack, and the drive-ask her, and she'd jump at a quid pro quo position in a heartbeat-but none of the stars seem to align for her career. Far less glamorously, she's been stuck with dead-end jobs that value sensationalism over truth-the bane of her legitimacy as a reporter.

A PAGE FROM MY HEART

Keisha and Frank are colleagues at the library, but there's more than just books between them. Keisha is the life of the party, while Frank is quiet and introverted. They share a deep attraction, but neither has the courage to confess their true feelings. When their head librarian, Mrs. Harry, intervenes with love portions embedded in words, will Keisha take a full dose of it, or will Frank prefer their feelings remain hidden?

MAGICAL LOVE

Vampires, fairies, sirens and so much more creatures with their veins full of power. Follow Ella Aestas in her journey in this fantastical kingdom from day one. They say the first day of school is always... Remarkable. It's not like she's going to accidentally make enemies with the most powerful, handsome and popular guy in the entire academy on her first day... Right?

DILEMMA

My dream of going to college was well in sight until life served me lemons. I lost my job. Guess who tried making lemonades? Tiana Unstoppable White. One job as a waitress, a spilled glass of wine, and a bathroom episode was all it took to get me into the Cloover mansion as a domestic staff. All was hunky dory until I was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. It was either loyalty or love.
