Adrenaline and Ashes, A Dakota Chance Story

from Fable’s Adventures: Short Stories & 10-Minute Audio Fiction · host Mundell Designs LLC

Dakota Chance, a disgraced stunt performer desperate for a comeback, has developed a supernatural gift: visions showing exactly thirty seconds into the future. Using these glimpses, Dakota prevents disaster after disaster at Prometheus Studios, becoming a miracle worker who saves lives through impossible instinct. But the visions aren't Dakota's—they're coming from Victor Delacroix, a legendary stunt performer who died in a mysterious fire forty years ago and whose ghost haunts the facility. Victor promises to help Dakota achieve redemption, but when a crucial stunt goes catastrophically wrong, Dakota realizes the truth: Victor isn't saving lives, he's creating conditions for his own resurrection, feeding on danger until Dakota becomes another trapped spirit. Now Dakota must choose between supernatural power and mortal truth—continue the miraculous comeback or investigate Victor's death and expose the decades-old crime that keeps his ghost imprisoned.A supernatural thriller for ages 16+ about the dangerous shortcuts we take for redemption, manipulative ghosts feeding on desperation, and choosing integrity over power.Themes: Supernatural horror, redemption and second chances, manipulation and dependency, ghost stories, Hollywood/stunt work, moral complexity, investigation and truth-seeking, cost of shortcuts, choosing integrity over powerContent Warning: MATURE CONTENT (16+).
