fair lamplife marriage shortstory touching tragedy wattys2018 weekstory

'Every day, I stand here. Every night, I provide light. I am like this all the time, it never changes. I stand here, through all the scorching summer days and the miserable winter nights. I don't talk to anyone but I wish I could. I wish the others could, but they just stay silent. I share my light with three others, but I can only provide a dim light. The rest can provide enough to light up a whole street; I can only light up a circle, a circle that a bench sits in.'

This is a short story about a lamp. A lamp that doesn't think that its life is fair. Join the journey of the lamp as it explains its life within a week. 

This was a short story this I wrote a while back for English, and I got a great mark on it so I thought to post it. I am very proud of myself for this writing. Please do give me feedback!All Rights Reserved

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

The Unexpected Marriage by ranjhan16

This is my first story. so please show ur love to this story and this story is totally fictional ''No ...no i am not going to marry her, why should i marry when i said that i don't want to.'' 'u have to marry her' ''But why? can't u understand what i am saying or are u crazy or what.'' ''okay as your wish,then u will not be able to see the tomorrow's sun.'' ''Wth!!! atleast tell me why u all want me to marry her.come on! tell me the reason.'' ''first your marriage will be done'' ''No i am not going too''. 'okay,then see what will happen to that girl.' will their marriage happen or not? and if yes then will they give chance to it. If they both are tied in a sacred bond what will they both do, will they accept each other? or they will never try to understand each other? Would he accept her and will she will accept him? what will happen next in their lives? English is not my first language so please ignore mistakes.

Falling Short by Zanoobah

My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise. Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it. The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer. *** | Top Ranks | [#03 in 'Solution' - 13/06/2025] [#05 in 'Resilience' - 18/04/2023] [#06 in 'Islam' - 18/06/2025] *** Important Note: Those who are easily triggered are advised not to continue with this book.

Forget Me Not (Book 3 of Acceptance Series) by RissaleWriter

(Can be read as a stand-alone) She was my best friend, the love of my life. She was a beautiful soul, too perfect for this world and the people that wanted to use her against me. At a young age, I knew that she was my mate and made for me. My mother confirmed it later on when I asked her about the bond between her and I and why I had felt so protective of her. But, at the age of five, her parents took her away from me. They took her away from me because of who my mother was. They took her away from me because of the bond between her and I. But, one day, she will be back. She will be back because I was sure that she will long for me just as much as I long for her. So, all I ask of her is to forget me not. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Out of my Control by LexiRein

Book 7 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be great and for awhile it was, until it wasn't. I had it all! The perfect husband, well for the most part. Everyone has their flaws but Johnny he was the best. Then I lost him and my world fell apart. How can you move on from your other half? Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. Just because he made a promise to my husband doesn't mean he owes me anything. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry! I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying him by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him, but mostly hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

Last July by AriHaruno8

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards
