''Today Maro's "secrets I'm trying to keep" was her companion. Warm trickling raindrops outside the kitchen window offered background music to the lyrics [...] Being unable to love is a curse.

Besides the unpleasant existence of her brothers best friend, she loves her life, her friends, her family, her town and her art.

Immerse yourself in three strange short stories about space, aliens and scientists! There's Simon, who has spent his whole life preparing for an encounter with a deadly alien species. Nigel wonders why the captain needs a mathematician like him to assess the situation on a new planet. And Pandora saves the world from a real goo-like threat unnoticed.
The universe is vast, as far as we know it's endless. We don't know what's truly out there but we can always imagine it. The possibilities are limitless and now come, take the plunge into its vastness and find out what might be. Some of these stories will be joyful, some sad, some full of love, some maybe more intertwined on second glance and some might come with a warning sign attached. This isn't about what's reality and what isn't, it's about what could be and how much we can imagine.
From acclaimed and New York Times bestselling YA authors Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff comes The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories. ? A vampire locked in a cage in the basement, for good luck. ? Bad guys, clever girls, and the various reasons why the guys have to stop breathing. ? A world where fires never go out (with references to vanilla ice cream).

Since 2008, Maggie, Tessa, and Brenna have posted more than 250 works of short fiction to their website www.merryfates.com. Their goal was simple: create a space for experimentation and improvisation in their writing?all in public and without a backspace key. In that spirit, The Curiosities includes the stories and each author's comments, critiques, and kudos in the margins. Think of it as a guided tour of the creative processes of three acclaimed authors.
A story about an annoyed teenager who gets sent to summer camp, a horror story and a story about an orphan who deperately wants to get adopted and become someone successful. Seemingly random, right? But what if I told you, that there's something that connects these stories? Not only that, but that all ten stories in this collection share a common factor? Well, there's only one way to find out what that is...
When Glenda MacKimmie arrives in Scotland, she expects nothing more than rain and cold and the sorrowful discomfort of inevitable remembering. But when she meets Claude, her visit takes an unexpected turn - he is here to sort out the clock shop his late uncle Erwin has left him, and, grateful for the distraction, Glenda offers to help. But then a found letter evokes the assumption that Uncle Erwin has never died to begin with, and Glenda and Claude find themselves swept up in a mystery that bears magic, wonders and tragedy. If Uncle Erwin did not die, where did he go? And what was that calling he spoke of? A journey begins that makes them question their beliefs about what is possible and shows them that when it comes to true love, even the laws of time hold no power anymore.
Settle in and buckle up for unveiling to you an enlightening and captivating narrative about the trials and tribulations of cohabitation, or, as the Germans call it, Wohngemeinschaft. Not only a guide to survive in a communal living situation, but also a delightful companion for those new to this concept or who want to take a delightful plunge into the past. I explored all the variations during my WG Odysee or call it an unintentional sociological study over 14 years: 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, and even 20-person Wohngemeinschaften in Zurich, Nizza, Ajaccio, Hamburg, Munich, Montpellier, Orléans, Alicante, Porto, Barcelona, Lund, and Basel. I was extremely privileged to reside within a dynamic community that consisted of a diverse array of individuals, including educators, culinary experts, medical professionals, scientific scholars, dreamers, biologists, as well as hotel managers. Truthfully thankful for these wonderful individuals who have enriched my life and inspired me to write this story.
