Welcome to More Than a Story, where each episode is an original short story… and a little more. At the end of each episode, I’ll talk briefly about an idea you can take away from it. Something to inspire you or to make you think. Ideas to help us take a look at our own stories so we can make them truly wonderful.

My name is Derek Henig, and it’s my mission here--and in everything I do--to fill your day with something good.

So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy… More Than a Story!

Self-Improvement

*raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
 
(FANTASY) - All is well on Penelope’s island, Sel, until a mysterious monster suddenly attacks the village and causes Penelope to fall unconscious. What this monster is and what it’s after, she doesn’t know. Yet, when those answers are discovered, the truth is even harder to grasp, and this journey will become the fight of Penelope’s life.

The Power of P.

(FANTASY) - Holokai has a golden coin that, when he casts it into the magical well, will grant him a single wish by their god, Ekewaka. In fact, all the children on the islands are born with these coins. It’s an amazing miracle, yet Holokai is stuck and unable to think of a wish. His friends and everyone his age have already cast their coins into the well and Holokai is afraid he’ll never think of a wish. However, an accident will force Holokai to come to terms with what he wants and move beyond the events from his past that are holding him back. With the help of the energetic and quirky, Ekewaka, Holokai will face his deepest fears and long-held pain.

One Wish

(ADVENTURE) - Sam has a unique connection to a group of invisible friends, and they’re annoying him. He’s a senior in High School and they are trying to convince him to skip school, leave home, and go on an adventure to save a young girl; someone they say has the potential to change the world. If he goes, it’ll most likely trigger his mother to bring him back to the doctors for evaluation like she did when he was eight. If he stays, a young girl will suffer, and the world might suffer as well…

The Invisible Friends

(SCI-FI) - Barry’s normal morning routine is quickly steered off course by an impossible scene. Cars are blocking his path on the highway, but it isn’t the normal traffic. These cars are all empty—running, and placed in drive, but empty. Soon, Barry finds himself on a search for answers—fueled by the persistence of his closest friend, Rachel—and what they find is beyond what either expects…

The Machine

(HORROR) - Mother Midnight comes to you in the night. She searches your mind for what you want. You'll certainly get it, what you desired, but the price you'll pay will leave you begging for her to stop, to leave you alone, to help you no more. There's nothing to be afraid of, though. It's just a kid's cautionary tale. A message to be careful of what you wish for, and to take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life. It's just a cautionary tale...
