In 2022, eighteen teenagers competed to see who could write the best short story. No restrictions were given besides word count—students could write fantasy, mystery, science fiction, thriller, literary, or any other genre they wanted. This lovingly edited and compiled anthology is the result. In these pages you will find stories of teenagers and time loops and treasures, of mothers and magical books and mysterious killers, of forest sprites and fairy tale romances, of dragons and doors without handles. None of these stories were written, outlined, or conceived by adults. They are the early stirrings of our future Earnest Hemingways, Stephen Kings and J.K. Rowlings.
