Some are dark, some are light, some are both, but all are 500 words or less.
"A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film." ~Lorrie Moore
These are my brief love affairs, my quickly-taken photographs, my breaks from novel works in progress or writing exercises that turned out to be rather fun! (If they are from a writing exercise, I will include the prompt.) Why the name Polished Messes? Because these stories are not perfected, they're just polished up a bit to be presentable before sending them into Wattpad world. Because sometimes as writers, we obsess WAY too much about being perfect.
Happy reading and writing, I hope you enjoy them!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The soft dream made of cotton, Is tarnished by the storm, Still waiting for the warm goofy sun, As I stay here still and numb...... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Love is a symphony of heart, mingling and fluttering for the ones we adore, worship and are devoted to. Yet can the obstacles in our path overtake the passage of our profound love? The journey of thousand miles starts with a single step but what if the problems are too high to stop you from taking the steps? Can a journey be fulfilled with a stranger as your companion where nothing has settled in your life? Can you merge over to the island of merry life full of rainbows when your life has been the thickest shade of grey all this time? Will you be able to overcome the hollowness immersed into your soul just for a stranger? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Join the story of William Anderson who is stuck forever with one of his little wife who happens to be his own student. Scarlett Collins has never been a girl who likes studies, infact she's one of those nefarious minded student who is always ready to drain out the enthusiasm of all the proffesors in her college but what will happen when she gets tied in a sacred bond of marriage with the person whose profession is despised by her? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Will the blossoms of love bloom between them or the possibility of flowers will be ruined due to the destruction caused to the bud?
