Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
Loving Him Was Red
Charlotte doesn't care for rules, for expectations, or for anyone's opinion. She's sharp, unapologetic, and fully in control of her life. Justin? He's from a world that couldn't be more different. He keeps his distance, deliberately staying far away from someone like Charlotte-too unpredictable, too intense. But fate doesn't care about their differences. Something keeps pulling them together, no matter how hard Justin tries to ignore it. Neither of them is willing to back down, yet neither is truly ready for what the other represents. What happens when two people so completely at odds are forced to collide? Neither will reveal their hand, and the answer isn't clear. But this is a game with no rules-just a fight for survival, and the only certainty is that neither of them will be the same when it's over.
Ending the War

He trained her to fight since she was 9, learned to fight, to win, and to not show how she felt about it. Despite hating it, she never dreamed of leaving. Sarah was more important, the bubbly 14-year-old was always her first priority, and she couldn't be more relieved that Sarah had it better than she did. But no matter how much she wants to, Vee can't run away from this war. She has to end it.Complete
