|PART 1 · 10TH GRADE DRAFT · 3X FEATURED|

Fifteen-year-old Kylie Juniper is not excited about attending a week-long canoe trip with her family in the depths of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. After she learns the legend of the Ghost of Ontario, she meets a First Nations boy who is just as mysterious as the ten-year-old ghost.

***

What is the secret of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park?

Ten years ago, a little boy went missing in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has it that he died and became the Ghost of Ontario. When fifteen-year-old Kylie learns of it, she vows to uncover the mystery, but things become extra interesting when she and her family meet an amnesic hermit, Ihaan, in the park.

Ihaan has no memories of his past. All he remembers is his life with Canada's wild animals. However, it changes when he meets Kylie. Suddenly, he is desperate to find his lost memories, so he joins Kylie and her family on their canoe trip, much to Kylie's mother's displeasure.

As the trip progresses, Kylie and her family learn new secrets about Ihaan and try to help him get home. Ihaan, though, is eager to stay in the provincial park after living alone there for a long time. When mysterious happenings begin, such as "Lucilla" and voices in the forest, Kylie begins to wonder... Is Ihaan the Ghost of Ontario himself?

***

Note: Ihaan is pronounced, "Ian".(IMPORTANT! Just FYI, this is very poorly written. I wrote it in 10th grade but needed somewhere to store it.)

Moral: Some people are not what some people think they are.

This story does contain mentions of abuse and animal death. If you are sensitive to those, please don't read.

I thought of Hiroyuki's Splendid Forestfrom watching Princess Mononokeby Studio Ghibli (Please do watch it. It's wonderful!) I loved the idea of preserving nature, so I decided to make up my own little story based off it. This is not made from the help of ChatGPT.

A whimsical story of a man living alone in his stone home on a hill.

Relying on his art to keep himself alive, the man is trying to find the spark in his art that people are also looking for.

When mysterious gifts start arriving at his door, he starts to wonder who could be intruding on his isolated life in the wildflowers.

Its not until a humanoid crow turns up at his window, an omen of death, that the man starts to push aside his fears and find the love for art again through a series of exchanges and amusing events with the creature.

With the crow trading its way deeper into the man's life, what will make them stop and see just how life-changing that can be?

This story is the full version of one created for an LGBT+ contest.

A shifter, shunning society as a human and living through his feral form, finds the light in humans again through a simple offering of soup and the kindness of a heart not wanting to give up on it.

Missy, a kind and daring young woman, lives alone up on the hill of wildflowers.

With ambitions of making it big, she sews dresses and feeds the shifter she affectionately calls Soup, believing it to be nothing more than a wild animal she can enjoy the company of and spill her stories to.

But strange things have been happening since Soup turned up.

Ingredients have been dropped into food packed away in the fridge. The house has been cleaned out of its disarray, and a single thistle has appeared in a bottle on the table.

As questions are raised, Soup must draw the line of what he believes should be reality and fantasy.
