This happened to one of my daughters. I have 4 children in total. 2 boys and 2 girls respectively. But the naughtiest one would be my eldest daughter, who is also my 2nd child.
One day as she was about to leave the house, i remind her,
"I want you to be home before 9pm"
"Yeah yeah i know that," my daughter replied as she left.
That night, i waited for her arrival. 9pm and then 10pm passed by but she's no where to be seen. I messaged her, i tried calling her. But she didnt reply to any of it. I kept on waiting for her until i actually fell asleep on the couch at my living room.
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!"
I was awaken by the loud banging sound and my daughters cries outside the house. I looked at the time. It's already 1am!
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!" she continuously banged on the front door.
This time all my other children had shown up near the door, wondering who the hell is banging on it loudly. I went to open the door. My daughter looks horrible. Her hair all messed up, her eyes starry and red and she was crying. I quickly grabbed her in.
"Dian, tell Mummy what happened to you," i said as i hold my daughter who was still shivering.
She just kept quiet..and while still crying, she said,
"Brother..please close the door..brother please close the door.."
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" my eldest son scolded her.
"Dont scold your sister and close the door. Go and get her a glass of water." i warned him.

I read some prayers into my hands and closed her eyes with my hands. After a few minutes, i asked her again what actually happened to her. She told us that she and her friends had gone to the infamous and haunted Old Changi Hospital for some adventure.
Upon returning home, when she was in the lift, she felt as if someone was breathing loudly behind her. She felt odd because she knew she was alone in the lift. So she turned to her back and saw..a woman with very long hair, squatting behind her and was breathing very heavily. My daughter panicked! She kept pressing the buttons and when the lift door opened, she climbed the stairs and ran for her life!
After that incident, whenever my daughter goes out, she would be home before 7pm. I guess its a good and bad thing at the same time. After all, my prayers has been heard. She finally stopped coming home so late.
Thank you.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Greene's Monthly Contest
most writers don't have enough recognition. most of them only win awards based on the general aspects of a story; genre or theme, judged by the same things, not appreciating the genius behind the chapters. same awards, same results.--and we disagree with that.
