Workingclass Stories

A band on the run. Two lost on back roads and borrowed stages, becoming legends they never asked to be. A boy survives a killing, and a knife changes everything. Nothing stays simple after that. Kid falls fast-chasing love in every woman he meets, believing each one might be the answer. But it never lasts. Two voices won't let him rest: Midnight whispers: leave. Be free. Dawn answers: stay. Be known. He wants both. He loses both. Chance only falls once-and it breaks him. So he turns to the road, the music, and the spaces between towns, trying to become something that can survive what he's become. When their paths begin to cross, love becomes heavier than desire. A force. A cost. A choice neither of them is ready to make. Because freedom and love don't come clean. And staying always asks for something in return. Kid and Chance are two sides of the same coin, navigating a Modern Western steeped in magical realism, ancestral myths, and the high‑stakes world of honky‑tonks and rock legends. ✨ Magical Realism | 🏜️ Modern Western | 🎸 Musician POV "Some men learn how to change. The rest become The Dead Cowboys."

A tragic event brings two young friends to discover a common interest.

Amara Monroe is not the kind of woman who stops moving. She is a graduate student, a business owner, a daughter, and a caretaker all at once, and she handles every single role with the kind of quiet discipline that most people never see because she does not ask them to. Her life runs on early mornings, tight budgets, and the deep belief that doing things the right way matters even when no one is watching. Kit Wattanakul is a Thai-American chef who built his Atlanta restaurant on the same principle. Disciplined. Intentional. Rooted in the culture and family that shaped him. He is not a man who does things carelessly. Which makes it all the more complicated when one unexpected afternoon puts Amara in his orbit and neither of them can quite find their way back to the distance they started with. This is not a story about two people who fall recklessly into each other. It is a story about two people who feel something real and choose, again and again, to handle it with honesty and care. About what it costs to want something you are not yet free to reach for. About family duty and cultural identity and the particular courage it takes to build love on a foundation that can actually hold. Set against the copper and gold of an Atlanta autumn, Eyes on You is a slow burn that earns every degree of heat. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just two people deciding that something worth having is worth doing right. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

You are a hardworking girl who is struggling in Trigonometry. When your secret crush Gareth Emerson offers to tutor you, things take a surprising turn.

*NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EASILY OFFENDED* The Tedious Life Of Ashley Astley/Graydens was a book I had originally started during lockdown. Originally supposed to be a diary based on the peculiar, socially deficit 12/13 year old girl Ashley/Ash I had then got carried away and produced both first and third person accounts of the goings on - this however got too repetitive as I was basically repeating the same thing but in different perspectives. So now the story is split into two books: the original idea 'The Tedious Life Of Ashley Astley' and now 'Graydens' (the fictional school in which Ashley attends) which still has a basis around Ashley (in it's 3rd person perspective) also describes the goings on of the students and even some of the teachers in the shabby dysfunctional school based somewhere in the south east of England (bordering London) however never specified exactly where. Unfortunately many of the early chapters had been corrupted and so I have to rewrite them both in Graydens and TTLOAA. Fortunately some of the chapters are either fully intact or have partial snippets of the story/stories which I shall add whilst I rewrite the rest. This book is continuous and so 3 or so years later I'm still writing on and off. I have no idea when this will be finished or if it will be finished. Likely these stories will be a series in the foreseeable future... Although this is my first story I'll publish here, it isn't my first overall. I have written many stories since I was a child/teen (pencil/pen and paper) These are when I decided to pick up my virtual pen and start writing again now as an young adult.

In a small Southern town where everyone is searching for freedom, can Jax uncover the truth about Levi-and himself-before it's too late?

This isn't like your regular Y/N story

The saxophone threads heat through the bar, and old stories lift with the smoke. Bubba Bojangles leans on the counter, knuckles scraped, breath warm with whiskey, shirt salted by sweat and spill. He says he's got a little to tell and a thirst to match. Gasper works the bar, the bottle, the room. Outside waits the freight yard; inside, rhythm keeps time while a life unfolds across the wood grain. Paychecks have gone to the glass, debts stack high, and the hard choices bite. Bubba lays them down one by one, and the jukebox answers. The first laugh lands easy; the next carries a bruise. By the time the rim rings the rail, the tale turns from joke to reckoning. Grit, memory, and a blue-note kind of mercy shape a night that changes the listener as much as the teller. Author's Note: This story hums on a melody my brother rewrote from the lullaby our mother sang to us for years. The tune carried us through long car rides and sleepy kitchens, and it still opens a door in my chest. The characters here stand in fiction, yet their bones remember my grandparents. I was small when my grandfather left this world, but love met me early. I keep his scent in memory-tobacco and soap, warm wool in winter. I see his easy gait, the tilt of his shoulders, the way he gifted everyone a ridiculous nickname until the whole room shook with laughter. I claim my own silliness from him with gratitude. If you hear a jukebox in these pages, or catch a river breeze, that's our family music working again. Thank you for reading.

​In Harbor City, California, the truth is hidden beneath the surface. ​It's a place where the houses slide into the marsh, neighbors spy from behind their barbecues, and an unnamed alligator haunts the local lake. Everyone is desperately trying to be someone they aren't-except for one girl. ​Born into a hospital ward of fifty identical women all named Dora, Jessica was never meant to be. Saved by a grandmother's quick hand and a gust of salt air, she broke the cycle before she even took her first breath. ​This is the magical, slightly sinking story of growing up in the "Backbone" of the harbor-a world of Street Soldiers, Starches, and Fauxs-where the only way to keep from drowning is to find your own name.
