domestic-abuse mental-health suspense

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! :)All Rights Reserved

Glass Heart by 00Lucas_sacuL00

Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. 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)

Gone [UNDER MAJOR EDITING] by Gracie3676

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.

Caged By Him by moonchild80

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

The Judgmental Sky by BangtanWriter_Rae

A short story I had to write for English Class, but I decided to post it here! I am really happy with how this turned out, but I have a few warnings for it. This short story includes talk about being gay and bi, as well as contains physical and emotional abuse. If you are triggered by any of these things please don't read. This has come from all of my own thoughts. I will include a pre-write I did in English class to help us brainstorm ideas. I am sorry if it's confusing, but I wanted to try something new.

Finding sanity by cutieloverxxx

"Home is the place where you feel the most safe my dear," he tells me with that little smile that makes me wanna punch him in the face. "How could I ever feel safe here?" I ask him rolling my eyes. "Because no one here will ever hurt you my dear," he tells me and I smile a little because honestly I wish there was a world where no one would hurt me, but I know that world doesn't exist. Alice is trapped in a wonderland of her own imagination and to her it seems impossible to escape, but she must find the truth and find who she truly is in the labyrinth of her mind.
