Marginalisation Stories

Short story using the themes marginalisation and displacement Tim Winton

Have you ever imagined how an illiterate could feel? How powerless he was? How humiliating it would be to be on of the unfortunate people? What if in the same time, you were deaf and partially blind? What if the time period you were born in didn't have the hearing technologies that we have today? What if you were marginalized by the society you lived in? Wouldn't you do anything to be able to communicate again? Wouldn't you be willing to kill to have a normal life?

This is a novel about a dwarf who feels ugly and undesirable. She's an adult film critic, a virgin, an incel, and someone whose biggest dream in life is to have sex with the women she writes about. But she also knows....it will never happen. L

What will you feel like when the thing you dreamed of is not important anymore?

"People stare. People always stare. People were staring when I left the hospital. There were people staring, peeping through their curtains, when I arrived home.

I was lost in that moment of time. In her eyes, I saw Alice's twinkling eyes. In her smile, I saw Alice's captivating smile. In her glowing cheeks, I saw Alice's flawless ivory skin.

As I twirled my dear nephew's Rose around effortlessly, I no longer felt the judging eyes of the world upon my back. But it was over as soon as it began. ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ This is quite simply, a story of regret.
