Stories from another time and place to make you think, laugh, and possibly shed a tear.  I know I did, but for me the stories are personal.  This is for those who can appreciate the insanity of the world I was raised in.  
One should never judge the past by the standards of the present.  Of course, that doesn't stop me from judging the present by the standards of the past.  Age and a lifetime of hard-earned experience has earned me that privilege.All Rights Reserved

Seven Twenty-Eight by gxhbee

He pulled his hands away suddenly, covering his face as he laughed at himself. "Holy shit," He breathed out in a chuckle. "What?"

Pass me the coffee or wine! by Emmylouhobart

A very real portrayal of being a working mother and wife, the trials and tribulations, the hilarious day to day. If your easily offended this may not be for you, I write how I speak and say things. Just imagine a thick, broad Yorkshire accent. I swear, a lot. From navigating being a first time mum, from new born to school age, to being a wife and your own person, these are personal stories with humour and plenty of love. I hope it makes you cry happy tears, brings you side splitting laughs, and general feelings of " yes, I know how you feel, I know what you mean"

Sunshine and Rain by 7pageheart

Why make up stories when life itself is so....interesting. Relive these events with me as I record my own personal experiences growing up. You never know what you might find, sometimes all we need is a bit of perspective.

Lovely by CAZ365

This is a story about love, relationships, toxicity, recovery, and hope. In this story we will delve into the reality of abusive relationships at their core. Discussions will be had about what it's really like living in a hell like no other ever imagined. Something which will make the devil look like a kind soul. Welcome to my story.

I WISH THIS WERE A JOKING by jshoffman

"Abuse does that to you - sure, you can say that this, is abuse. I know it is. I own the fact that my family life is fire and brimstone and navigating it isn't easy, but it wasn't like him. He was worse." At times harsh, its a simple story about learning to love yourself after a trying and rough relationship.

Thresheld by StanleyZgrodek

My life is a series of thresholds that I overcome through poetry. Love, loss, pain, regret, humor, irony, word play, and even sarcasm are as much apart of my life as they are central to my poems here. I am Thresheld. UPDATE: It's been quite a few years since I started this book, and it has become rather prolific. I am currently working on organizing my poetry to make it easy to navigate. For now I've posted my recommendations and a few favorite shorts. Feel free to check out anything here there is no order you need to read in and there isn't any separation of emotional content so who knows what you might get. Anyways leave a comment, pretty please :3
