Captured, memory-wiped, numbered, stripped from her identity. All at the tender young age of 8. It all makes for a hell of a childhood, in a post-war pre-apocalyptic country, taken over by those who hold the youth of her age hostage. With no identity other than 6 numbers assigned to her, her outlook on her future is dull. Growing up listening to stories about the infamous torture method "The Box", she strays far from one of those who gets put in "The Box", she's not insane. Only those who are labeled insane are taken there...labeled, not proven. Drugged one morning, waking up an hour later, to windows and white light. The stories prepared her for nothing. Those daunting tales were nothing more than myths.

Between an Aphrodisiac & a Loathing Place.
A collection of poetry that has been written from me (and my constant battle with wrecking insanity). Some will make sense; some will leave you with a big ole' question mark; but, like myself, not everything can be precise and make definite sense. I will try my best to have new additions every week from my on-going-twisted-love-affair of writing poetry. For all the support and encouragements you all share with me - I do humbly appreciate all that you say and do. The feeling I get when another writer comments, or votes is imperial to how I interrupt that my work has some actual capabilities of reaching out and affecting someone's day or even their own life. So, please, if you like the poetry that I've consciously poured my heart, soul and thoughts out, please, leave a comment, or vote for how much this piece or any other of my poetry has helped. If it has given you hope, acknowledgement, or just an awareness that someone, like me, knows exactly what you can go through first hand, let me see how much it affects you. Even the 'poet' needs some love shown. :) Copyright © 2015-2017 By T. A. Hinson All Rights Reserved All rights reserved.

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘
Moving across the ocean at sixteen wasn't part of the plan. New school, stupid uniforms, and helping at her dad's crappy gas station wasn't either. But here she is-refilling refrigerators at midnight, carrying boxes with broken tape, and counting down the days until she can leave. Two years later, Maria's still stuck. Still bitter. Still haunted by the life she didn't choose. And then he shows up- In a loud, beat-up car. With the kind of attitude that sets her teeth on edge. She doesn't like him. Doesn't want to. But maybe he's just as messed up as she is. Maybe he sees her darkness and doesn't flinch. And maybe... just maybe... gasoline burns better with a match.
empty ~ kurotsuki
"the secret is to just be empty." his reflection looms over him as if it were a giant wave waiting to devour him. he feels the noose of his subconscious grow tighter, suffocating him with the voices of dysmorphia. as it tightens, his control begins to slip. "you can trust me...they don't know what you need...this is what will satisfy you." in his mind, he is healthy and this is normal to want to be thin. he has to be the spitting image of a national-playing athlete. he has to be for his boyfriend; who would want to date someone this ugly? he has to be for his family; he can't fail their expectations. this is normal. kei is stubborn. too stubborn for his own good. "you're beautiful." lair. "you're perfect just the way you are." shut up. "i love you." why? it may be too late for kei to realize that he is no longer himself. he is nothing but a hollow shell living in foreign skin. inside, he is empty. *** this story is inspired by jaidenanimations and BoyInABand's song "Empty". i do not own the song, nor do i take any credit for the lyrics. i do not own haikyuu or any of the characters. these characters belong to Haruichi Furudate. this story covers mature topics that may be triggering to some individuals. viewer discretion is advised. lowercase intended.Complete
My Eating Disorder (COMPLETE)
Restrict. Binge. Repeat. That was all she knew. That was all she did. And she wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. --- Sunny, a seventeen-year-old girl, hummed to herself quietly as she took out a stick of gum. Her black earbuds emitted music as she searched up the calories to the candy her mom gave her earlier. She tilted her head as she saw the number. It was workable. She wouldn't go over her calorie limit. She put her phone away, and for a moment, for a stilling moment... she wondered if this was the pain she'll have to deal with forever just to be skinny. . . . Story includes: anorexia and binge eating. Credits to @LunarWrites__ for the cover!Complete
