This is a short story for a school assignment that I submitted, to which I received the second highest mark in my year level and the year level above me (not trying to brag hahaha). It is a creative response to author Alice Munro's short story, 'Runaway.' I really enjoyed this project and was very much inspired by Munro's beautiful writing style.
While I aimed to make the underlying theme of my story easy to grasp, if you would like some more context I strongly recommend reading Munro's narrative 'Runaway.'
I hope you enjoy reading my work! :)

Gone [UNDER MAJOR EDITING]
Note: I wouldn't recommend starting this story right now because it's a jumbled mess. At the moment I'm working on editing, so hopefully I can remove this note soon. ******** Lillian Thornhill had everything, or so everyone thought... She was popular, beautiful, and could get any guy she wanted. So when one morning when she is no where to be found, only her parents aren't surprised. After crawling out her window one night, Lillian finally has the freedom she's always wanted. Everything is going great for this runaway when she meets a sweet guy named Damion, but everyone knows freedom comes with a price.Complete

List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)Complete
