The Writer's Club at University Preparatory School was started late 2017 by myself, Hannah Mason, and Emily Littau. We have not done a lot since it's creation but we did put on a writing workshop in March and we have 7-10 members. Now we are writing this anthology together. We voted on a topic (the topic "colours" was chosen) and signed up for colours to write on. Each member has 1-3 colours and will write at least one section. We as a club believe anybody can write, anybody can find joy in creating beauty with words, with a pen or fingers on a keyboard instead of paint and paintbrush or notes sung. There are many types of art. This time, we have chosen this one. We hope you enjoy.

[kodachrome]
Life is as intense as you allow it to be. Some people bring overwhelming joy; others leave wounds that never fully close. [kodachrome] is a journal born from that intensity, where healing through words becomes the only way to survive what cannot be forgotten. Rather than blurring pain into shades of gray, this collection paints it in color: memories, almost-loves, resentment, longing, and the quiet aftermath of heartbreak. Like a kodachrome photograph, each piece is vivid and emotional, preserving moments that shaped a soul in an era filled with sadness. This book contains poetry, short stories, and intimate reflections, written as an act of release, a way of forgiving without forgetting, of remembering without losing oneself. * Mostly fictional, inspired by real emotions and past experiences. 📌 https://pin.it/56l6eI7mQ
Hope
For this chapter of our lives, no matter how dark, chaotic or confusing it might all seem with the sheer tense and panic from COVID-19. This month's theme requires you to channel all those hidden, outspoken or scattered emotions, drawing them all out in an artistic and healthy way before ending on a lighter and positive note. Something you'd like to reflect on, give a shining ray of light in this time of uncertainty and frustration. A piece that you can refer back to and say "Hey, I survived this" with a soft smile. May it be a song, poem, a short story or article-based. Be it in English or Malay. May it be focused on your surroundings, the ones you love, the ones you wish to inspire or yourself. Make it be something not just for others but for you, from you. For you are your own greatest Hope. Yours Truly, Arissa.Complete
The Yellow Room & Other Erotica
Please enjoy my first erotic short story collection. It ranges from flash fiction to the novella sized title story "The Yellow Room". There's also ten naughty poems. Some of the stories are smut. It's safe to say, this is ONLY for a mature audience. Enjoy! The Beach is a short about an overly excited newly married couple. It's followed by a flash fiction of a sex dream. Then we have our title story, a novella about a marriage in trouble. Is seeking total sexual exploration the way to fix it? What is the "Yellow Room" and how does it change their lives? Next on tap is Poem Porn, then a curious letter about a lesbian encounter going into a new world where everything is changed for all involved. Another flash fiction is next. This time it's a cutesy tale with a more tamed description. That's followed by a novelette called Chopshophop (Dirty version - used with permission) with a chance encounter after a criminal couple rip off an innocent woman whose innocence soon ends. Afterwards we get a whole week of a wildly sensual story! The final story is a shorter novelette version of our title story, but from his point of view! Look for another Yellow Room book in 2025!Complete
The Colorful Path
They say only a small percentage of people can see the world in color, then they say even a smaller percentage of people embraces those colors, but then there's a huge community of people that put the most six well known colors on a flag and call it equality of sexuality, then they wonder why the world is at an internet war over this. Because not everyone sees the world in color. This is a story of a girl who struggles to accept those six colors in herself. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ This story covers themes of drugs, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and mental abuse. If any of these are a trigger for you please read at your own risk.Complete

A Love Beyond Names
How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.Complete
