In order to read them you have to download a new one of a kind App from iTunes, called: HOOKED 0_0. What makes the App so unique is that it’s a new way to read stories. Each story is told through text messages. So far, I have seven stories on there. And the app has only launched today! At the bottom are the specific links to my stories, once you have downloaded the App.
Waiting for You
Meet Me There
The Freezer
Prom Night
First Sight
Dad’s Date
Lunch Break
The stories aren’t what I typically write, but since I was so interested by the format of the App and the new way they’re trying to tell stories, which is somewhat like a screenplay, I just couldn’t help myself. What seems to work best for the format, at least so far, are suspenseful stories. Hopefully you’ll check them out and give the App the Five-Star rating it deserves. Help get the word out! Share and click and all that stuff kids to nowadays.
