Holden Semifinale

Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend's ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy--why is he always around?--turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she'd watch that movie. There's something about Holden that makes her feel like she's the one in front of the camera--like he can see every uncomfortable truth she's buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story's supposed to go. So why does every moment with Holden seem intent on changing the ending?

We, Cryptids is an upcoming internet novel within the "monster hunting" genre. In a world where dangerous Cryptids as well as half human, half cryptid hybrids exist, conflict is sure to emerge. Hybrids and full-blooded monsters who possess supernatural abilities interact in often violent ways, whether it be for the sake of their agendas, or raw predatory instinct. A young man named Holden Cauthwell never knew his mother, and his father very rarely spoke of her. His entire life, he went unaware of his heritage as well as the dormant ability within him. It wasn't until he had a supernatural encounter and was subsequently saved by a mysterious individual that he was subjected to a brand new world. I would also like to mention that in this series, flashbacks and perspective shifts are decently common. The writing is also inspired by monster/demon hunting anime and manga, which does seep into the style at times. Just a heads up in case those aren't your style!

Ray Holden’s life has always been dictated by time. Trapped in the monotony of his job, relationships, and daily routine, he feels as though time is a cruel, inescapable force dragging him forward without purpose. But that changes the night he stumbles upon a mysterious pocket watch in a rain-soaked alley. This is no ordinary watch—it's a tool that grants Ray the ability to manipulate time itself.

His newfound freedom propels him to heights he could only dream of—wealth, status, and control are at his fingertips. Yet, as Ray pushes the boundaries of his power, he begins to realize that time manipulation comes with a cost he hadn’t anticipated.

Eternal Drift explores the consequences of limitless freedom, the dangers of immortality, and the existential weight of a life without constraints.
