ONLY THE WORTHY PASS THE HARVEST Ever since WWIII devastated the surface of the Earth, emotions have been strictly forbidden. Childhood friends, Eve and Hana, have grown up in an underground compound, their emotional control monitored at all times. But the harvest is approaching . . . In two days, the low-ranked students will be culled and the worthy assigned to their permanent positions in society. Eve is a high-ranked student, but harbours secret concerns about her brother leaving-feelings that she must conceal from her monitor if she wishes to succeed. Hana has always struggled to control her emotions, and she fears that this harvest will be her last. Both know there's no place for friendship when they're competing for their lives. The harvest is coming, and only the worthy will remain.

I'm going to upload any short stories that I have to write for my English GCSE, because why not?! I loved writing them and I might as well share them - it would be a shame for them to just sit in my folder! :) This includes: The Lakeside (mock exam - I got 40/40 for this one)* The Decision (mock exam - I got 39/40 for this one) The Storm (a homework, not under exam conditions) *(I also entered this one into the Wicked (the musical) Young Writers Award and got shortlisted which was pretty cool 😊) Any feedback is welcome! :) And good luck with your exams... ~Alice **UPDATE**: I got a 9 in both my English Lit and my English Lang GCSE exams!!! So I am extremely happy 😊(but sad that I'm not doing English A Level! 😔) (I own all of these - please do not replicate them in your exams!)

It was a battle long fought. No one was winning, but no one was willing to stand back either. We were being hunted, hunted because we cried. Or smiled. Or laughed. Hunted because we couldn't hide everything that so desperately wanted to get out. Our emotions. They called us Voids. They wanted us dead. They wanted the world to be a blank canvas of cold stares and quiet voices. And Echo was the main target. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone saw me as a mistake. At least other Void's chose to hide. I had no option. Because eventually, there are to many tears and the damn breaks. Eventually, the weight of the world crushes me and I cry. And I can't hold back.
