Stuck in the Middle


In this final chapter of Stuck in the Middle, the anticipation of a life-changing day fills the air as Emily navigates a whirlwind of emotions. From the quiet stillness of the morning to the warmth of family traditions, each moment carries the weight of new beginnings. As the day unfolds, love and belonging take center stage, reminding Emily that home isn’t just a place—it’s the people who choose you, time and time again.

The Ticket

The Ticket
by Ellie Dauber © 1999

Author’s Note: This story introduces a continuing character of mine, the White Witch Elizabeth Lange. Yes, this is an old story of mine, but in light of recent news events, I thought that it was appropriate to post it. I’m also adding a small bit from a second Elizabeth Lange story, in which she discusses the fate of the transformee in this story.

Felicia's Second Life Chapter 7

Princess_Knight_Felicia.jpg

Good morning, everyone. My name is Felicia Belphere Metrune. I am the only daughter of Baron Alphonse Lartes Metrune. I am 11 years old. I haven't always been Baron Metrune's daughter though.

I was originally a 29 year old man who lived in Cornwall. One day I got hit by a truck and you've probably guessed it, I was reincarnated into what seems to be medieval Europe.

No, I'm not a pervert! Lili, why won't you believe me? It's a misunderstanding!

Warning Disclaimer: This is the very first story I ever wrote and it was written about 5 years ago and completely reworked three times. The last version is to make this story naturally flow from the first book. I tried to be accurate in the WU but I've learned at lot about Whateley since then but as I was focused on telling the story it never entered my mind to review Whateley physics/facts and my editors weren't familiar with it either . Until it was brought to my attention. As such there maybe errors but I've worried this story to death as it is and I hope it is not too much of a distraction.

Mrs. Carson and Atalanta reach an understanding and Atalanta is taken on a condensed tour of the school.
