"When Autumn rested her head against my chest, I could feel my stomach flip. Her brown skin was like silk and her nose looked like a little button. She smelled caramel and sugar and I adored the small snores that escaped her pink lips. I don't know why she drove me wild, but she did."

Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir by StorytellProjects
4 parts Complete Mature
Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir written by Elliot Parker. I've always written stories and music about my personal life. It was the only thing that would heal my scars and wounds. However, there was always a hidden layer of truth that I tried to shield from everyone in order to protect myself. Everything I write tends to be about my thoughts, feelings and emotions but in a way that I could keep them private. This essentially led me to bottle it all up and throw it far into the water. And then I was pulled underwater where I was going to have to face every part of my brain and heart in order to swim through the storm I became trapped in. This story was written about my life in ways I've never explored with writing. It was excruciating to look at my deepest insecurities, the feelings for a boy who never loved me back, and the most traumatic events I've had to experience, in the eyes. Writing a memoir that was originally for an assignment, turned into something more for me. It allowed me to revisit the past and try to explain them in my words, instead of rumors being spread faster than a forest fire. Sometimes you don't know you're hurting until you're being forced to sit in a locked room with your past. Realizing just how much pain and suffering I am still going through was tough, but it opened my eyes and allowed me to release the words I've been holding hostage for months. These four chapters were written about moments in my life that I've never shared with anyone before. I'm ready to tell my story. CHAPTERS: Chapter 1: Red Autumn Chapter 2: Heartbreak Boy Chapter 3: The Void Chapter 4: Eyes Open

Autumn's Embrace follows Elliot Sanders, a successful marketing executive from New York City, who relocates to the quaint countryside town of Willow Creek. Burned out by the relentless pace of the corporate world and feeling unfulfilled despite his success, Elliot seeks a quieter life. He purchases a charming farmhouse, hoping the peaceful rural surroundings will help him reset. Adjusting to small-town life proves challenging for Elliot. The slow pace and tight-knit community feel foreign after years in the city. But as he gets to know Lily Harris, the local school teacher, he finds himself drawn to her warmth and kindness. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Lily remains guarded, hesitant to trust that Elliot can embrace a life so different from the one he's always known. As autumn paints Willow Creek in vibrant colors, Elliot finds himself torn between the career and lifestyle he's always pursued and the sense of belonging he's begun to feel in the countryside. His journey of self-discovery and the deepening connection with Lily force him to confront what truly matters most in life. Autumn's Embrace is a heartfelt exploration of the tension between ambition and contentment, the allure of small-town life, and the transformative power of love and community.
