All written by me, creepy stories. I might do some from experiences I've had. I have some creepy two sentence ones I'll do in one chapter. (Edit: A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE DO A FEW OF THESE, I PROMISE IF YOU HAVE SEEN SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE STORY IT IS ACCIDENTAL!)

❝This is not a personal diary. And certainly not a journal. Wait, aren't they the same thing? Or maybe not. And no, I'm not one of those creepy chicks who writes their crush's name over and over on paper, and scratch the wall with their nails, and be all weird, and - halt, where was I again? Ah yeah, this isn't a diary or anything of that sort yeah? But who am I kidding? This is my dirty little secret. Chipmunk (p.s. keyboards should start to have chipmunk emojis since I'm trying to be anonymous here. Jeez.).❞ ~✩~✩✩~✩~ Formerly called as Letters to the Boy on Phone ~✩~✩✩~✩~ Highest achievement: #11 under Short Story on March 12, 2016.

And then she came along with all her smiles and laughter and cheerfulness. She helped fix me up. Slowly, but surely, I found my way back. And she taught me to live again.
