A Trinidadian girl goes missing, but it's nothing new in town. As we go through the trials of survival with young Hope we'll find out the way she found love
In a society where crime is a norm, we tend to forget how unfortunate and traumatic it actually is for the simple fact that "it wasn't me"; too easily do we slip over a murder, missing person etc. This short story was designed for reader to feel like they are in the unfortunate event to hopefully bring some more awareness to the unsettling amount of crime and violence in my little home Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean and to an extension the world. For my first short story I used the name Hope, it is a play on words as that is literally what I am using the character for, to gain "hope" for better, for safety; I wish that readers enjoy the book in the way it was designed.

Creative Writing Stories from a Fatal Dramatic Experience
It is a collection of my creative writing stories in any genre related to the person who is victimized in bullying, oppression, discrimination, looks down, and says harsh words that result in plotted revenge against the merciless and savage people. I write of this collection writing stories related to my painful experiences and agonies from when I was in Grade 10 until now. I'm not perfect in writings especially in writing correct grammar and typing incorrectly spelling of words but please give me a chance to welcome in Wattpad as a writer. I write of my compositions related to my painful experiences as a victim of bullying, oppression, discrimination, looking down and say harsh words of the merciless and savage people like my neighbor and my classmates. It is better to compose in writing related to my painful experience than to fight for my rights as a victim because they are created the fake truth about me like they say I'm bad that causes no one will stay by my side. This is also my freedom to voice out of pain using composition writing because they are not listening to my side and they are listening to the wrong people. Hopefully, you enjoy reading my composition related to the people's experiences who are always victimized in the maltreatment of everyone. Plagiarism lessens your multiple intelligence. If you are interested to read my creating stories, you have free to vote on every works that I compose.Complete

She had just graduated high school, suffered through her parents divorce and made what she thought was a simple decision to go camping, alone. Little did she know that this trip would challenge her heart and change her life. Would it be for the better? She would need to confront her past regrets, let go of her fears and become unguarded. Running into Ethan Thompson was the last thing on her mind...until she did. Could he be just what she needed? ***** This story is part of a series: Guarded Hope - book one Waiting for Hope - book two ( not a sequal but written from a different POV) Hope Unguarded - book three (chapters will be posted starting November 2016) Let me start by saying that this is the first story I have ever written.

All that is to say that my writing has really improved since starting this story January of 2016 and I can see my progression. I hope you enjoy this, especially after I just dissed my own work!!Complete
