You are a swimmer, who found a not-lake full of shadows and motions that you've done and will do. No, you are a hero, preventing their land from turning to precious metals when winter comes. What will you do with the single untouched pear tree? Now, you are a college student, torn between two equally plausible scenarios that play out in your subconscious state. Aspects of each one are invading your actual life. And now, you are running away with an unnamed person. They are all you. Short scenarios in second person, ranging from the uncomfortably realistic to the intriguingly magical. Requests are welcome; all will be ambiguously ended unless specified otherwise.

I am writing another book but a friend of mine would like me to publish a book on my Wattpad page thingy so she can read it whilst she waits for my slightly longer book to be published... So yeah, just read this book that's filled with random quotes and thoughts. You could say its a biography but I believe biographies are more interesting... In most cases... PS I would have entered this book into the Watty's, but apparently a short book has to be at least 15 pages long. 3 pages is a short book! They didn't even have a comedey section. You've got to have a bit of comedy people!

It's her birthday, and she just needs a few more ingredients for her favorite recipe.

If only I could sleep. Days are bad when you can't sleep. Days are worse when you can't remember. Days are the worst when you can't forget what you've done, and you can't forget who you've done it to. For a long time, night was the only peace I had, and the only time I really felt alive. I did things when nobody was watching, when nobody could see me. Darkness hides a lot of things. But it won't hide what I did -not forever. Someday, everybody will know. Some already do. Do you know? Do you know when somebody watches you? Do you know when somebody is following you and sleeping on the floor next to your bed? I can tell you. I can tell you secrets.

We all know the classic story of a girl who lost her glass slipper running away from her dreams, and racing back to her sad reality of being a peasant maid for her own step-mother and step-sisters, the only family she has left. Yes, this is a story based on none other than the character of Cinderella. However...this rendition of telling the tale is quite different. This quick-read is all written in the form of haikus; a form of poetry that is written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. In this story, you learn about the lives these characters really lived behind the scenes of the happily ever after that we all know to be. You'll discover rich amounts of character development from minor characters and learn major mic-drops about the major characters. I hope you enjoy reading and visualizing the lives of various characters and what they may have been thinking throughout this story! I give you...The Story Behind the Slipper... :) ____________________________ *I did not create or invent this princess who we all know and love and who has been around for generations. *I merely wanted to write a rendition of this story in the form of haikus only and I wanted to portray this amazing story in different perspectives of different characters. *Thank you for understanding and I hope whoever reads this enjoys it to the fullest! :)

I'm not a big fan of knowing about a story before hand so read it to find out what it's about or don't it's cool. I am honestly unsure about this entire story. I didn't exactly have much in mind I was kinda just writing. Uh, I think I did a decent job at telling a story about someone with a disturbed past who has a robot companion. Out of everything I want to translate to the reader, I think just leaving them hanging with unexplained things is the best because the story is long in the sense of overthought lore for this world. I think leaving the story with questions kinda is the best thing for this story. It was a good learning experience, I have another story in mind that's a little more based on reality and has actual planning for it. Well anyway, this story is a representation of my ability to create so I hope it's a good read. P.S. I was a little high.

This is a group of short stories that I have written for the writing prompts of the Tale Foundry discord server. I thought I might as well publish them under one roof.

Beginning (foreplay); Middle (consummation); End (post-coital blues)... figuratively speaking, that is.

I lost my job. Drowned myself in alcohol. Memories? Clear. My pocket? Oh, a check... HALF. A. MILLION. DOLLARS?! There's also a handkerchief with "L.J." on it. "Come, find me.
