A well crafted and compelling short story about a young Australian boy who is assigned the task of baby-sitting his younger brother while his mother is off at work.
She'd locked us in but had forgotten the spare house keys hanging precariously on a hook by the door.
"Well, she never said the garden was not part of the house."

The boy in the garden
" Stay". " pardon me". I said. Not in that rude English manner but out of surprise. " just for a little longer. Could you stay. Come intro the garden with me ". he said. An enchanted garden, a tale that exceeds time. Join the boy who loves a girl he mustn't love and a girl love a ghost she doesn't fully understand. A romance in a thriller. Who exactly is the silhouette and why does he have no parents or never leave the old white picket fence of his house. For the longest time. Since I can remember, the only thing I was ever good at was writing stories or telling them. It's the only thing that got me through the day or even for the majority of high school. This story ' the boy in the garden' was inspired by a house I found one day coming back from school. The story is my narration of what I think could have happened to the house and inspired by a former crush I had when I was in the 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it .Complete

A young man learns that just because he is not a shining sun like his brother does not mean he is any lesser. As the pages of life turn over, one can never know what sort of new things awaits beyond the past. New places, new friends and new loved ones.

Toxic Love - CountryHuman AU
Edit (Dec 12, 2020): This story is a few months old now, and looking back at it in December, I'm now realizing that this story basically has no plot. It's also very cringey, so read this at your own risk. ------------------------------ Russia and America have been a couple for a year now, but after their first year of being a couple, Russia starts to take America for granted. He comes home late, leaves the house early, gets closer to "friends", and so much more. America loves Russia to the point of no return, and will do anything for Russia. But when Russia cheats on America, will America have the courage to finally stand up to him? Trashy art by: Me Dedicated to: RusAme fans, and peeps who LOVE dramaComplete
Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
