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

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.

30 Days To Paradise // COMPLETED by AgntPbbls

Hope by jessicamay672

Kate was used to dealing with unfair consequences. Having a less than ideal home life and no one else to support her, she had learned to deal with things on her own. She had learned not to feel and especially not to hope. So when someone new comes into her life Kate does the best thing she can think of, she shuts them out. But, after a series of events in the course of one day, they are thrown back together, and Kate is given the chance to explain herself. Explain why she was so guarded and why she had closed herself off in the first place. And maybe along the way Kate learns that things aren't always so bad. That feeling and hoping aren't the worst things in the world. ***Warning: Mention of abuse is included in this story. Please don't read if that is a trigger for you in any way. Hope you enjoy the story. Feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions, I'm open to whatever.

She wondered if she should open up to her best friend Emily but she is scared of what she might think of her.

Small Stories by ClaireValdez

Short stories I wrote for my creative writing classes in uni, and the feedback I got. Maybe you can learn something like I did :)

Suicidal by kaii12321

This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation

His Dark Temptation by IridescentTryst

Part 1 of the Kings Series. Aiden brings me closer and wraps his hands around me, engulfing me in completely. He kisses my bandage on the forehead and I await a 'I'm sorry' but it never comes. He caresses my hair and rubs my back to comfort me. My eyes well up in tears but I control them from falling. I can't be weak. I don't want him to give that power. He takes my face in his hands and his eyes meet my eyes. A lone tear drops down but I stare into his eyes, not breaking the mask I've built around him. "I can be good to you. Only if you let me. If you keep disrespecting me and my decisions, what happened yesterday would be nothing in comparison to what I'm capable of. I let go hurting you yesterday. I wanted to make you bleed profusely and chain you to my bed for weeks until you came to your senses. Your friend's ear is still intact because you of what you told my parents afterwards. Don't test me, love. And don't test my patience. You decide your own fate and your fate is in my hands. Make a wise decision. I won't let go again." "Do you understand?" That lone tear got accompanied by many lone tears and now I was crying silently. He looked at me, just waiting for an answer. So I gave it. "Yes." "Yes, what?" "Yes, Aiden." He smiles. "Good girl."

I Run To You by lost_dyke

"I just ran away like I was possessed or something". Carson had a troubled face, but the description was accurate. Something inside her had stirred and urged her forward, away from her home, and she had left. Greta knew what it felt like to be possessed by all those feelings, she knew what it felt like to run, not away, but towards those feelings. "I don't think you are running away from anything, I think you're running towards your destiny". Greta and Carson could be good running partners. They wanted more. Greta knew so, Carson was finding it out. Together they could just run. Run towards each other, and towards their feelings. Run towards their destiny. Towards a brand new time. Towards a brand new world. ... A gretson epilogue to A League Of Their Own Season 1. p.s. this was also posted by me on ao3.
