The Thing Around Your Neck Short Story

"Football isn't just a game"—it's life. For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows. But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection. Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star? David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams.

An action-packed, expandable race that starts in Hollywood, ends in Spain, and later continues. Racing teams partner up and then race from state to state, country to country, and continent to continent, trying to get ahead of the other racers so they can win. If something terrible happens to a racing team, they might get disqualified from the race and then get replaced with another team, but they might be seen again and then get let back in the race.

A short story series consisting of a few stories. First up is a misunderstanding between a married couple and their reconciliation. Second is an odd couple: a man and his ghost girlfriend. Many stories will come so will probably update the synopsis every now and then. I will change the writing style and put some raunchy parts in it. (update) This is starting to become a continuous mess. I hope I can finish it decently.

Short stories and other Random things

A collection of short stories (Primarily ones written by me, but if you want yours added email me at DeJeL@myself.com). These short stories will rarely have anything in common, however if the author is one other than myself it will be listed directly under the title. (each short story will be it's own chapter.)

As the title show all stories are short or maybe continued in some random chapter. This novel will be updated slowly because all stories are impromptu to what my mind comes out with. Note: this novel contains grammatical error because im not that good when it comes to English but if you can help correct it I'll be gladly to change it. Thank you for reading
