"I imagined most people could look at the coffee table in their childhood home without feeling the pang in the back of their head from where it had cracked against the corner. I'm sure they could sit on their couch without having flashbacks of being pressed deep into cushions, struggling for breathe. They could venture into their kitchen for a snack without remembering how hot the stove had felt, centimeters from their backs.

I didn't have that luxury

This entire house felt like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I didn't want to spend another second inside of it."All Rights Reserved

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn) by MystiquCal

Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]

White Top Hats by Ashley_Bronner

It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became. Waking up to terrified screaming. My heart racing, the lighting striking and my family begging for their lives. I claimed myself as a coward that very same night. I hated myself. My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases. And when I found the truth it hit me deep.

First Love, The Sinner & The Saint by LouLeigh481

Have you ever felt like life wasn't enough, like you were going through the motions day in, day out, all you wanted was a change. Well one day I woke up and made that change, I was no longer the well behaved boy that did as he was told, I was a new person and I wanted to do things my way. I wanted to do what made me feel alive, even if that was murder of innocent people, I wanted to grab someone and watch the life drain out of their faces, it pleased me.. it made me feel alive. This is my story of heartbreak and turmoil, friends lost and friends gained, families torn apart by my needs. This is my life, and I'm proud to be the man I am.

Suite Nightmares by cherrybox18

I was a normal kid... Well, normal enough I guess. And I was... Hmm... You know what? No! You deserve the truth! I'm not normal and I'm not safe! I was 5 when my parents were murdered. You heard me, it wasn't an accident. My grandparents moved in to take care of me. They weren't the smartest people in the world, but they're still family... And probably the only human family I had left. Five years wasn't so hard, until one day I had a nightmare. And being the 'smart' caretakers that they were, moved me into my parents room... The biggest room in the house. I wonder how much fun they'll have in here?

LIGHTS OUT by youremyuwu

You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening. The sun was gone. Everywhere, in every state, city, country. Not only that, but people were making up all kinds of excuses for why it was missing. Yet, with each hour that passed, it kept worsening. People began looting in major cities, creating mobs to rush important buildings or block off busy roads. You, living in a semi-large city, could hear the sounds from afar; until those sounds turned to screaming, yelling, running. There were things out there. Things that wanted to hurt you. People that wanted to hurt you. Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom?

In Loving Memory of My Brother by CroodsGirl

|5X FEATURED · SPOTLIGHT STORY| Learning to cope with death is one of the most challenging obstacles any of us has to face, especially if that death is unexpected. When your whole world has changed, what do you do to overcome grief and keep your loved one's memory alive? *** I never knew how much trauma could affect a person until after my older brother died unexpectedly on August 17th, 2021. I came out of the experience as not the Victoria I was used to, but the Victoria who now had a massive hole in her heart. I come from a long line of fighters. My family and I pulled off different strategies to help us move on from such a devastating death, strategies that I am going to share in this book. Sometimes, the best way to overcome grief is to write about it. After all, writing is an escape to a different world where I still have my Green Guardian. These pieces and pictures I'm going to share with you are not meant to depress anybody, but to illustrate just how wonderful a person Matthew was. His story is sad, but it's a story of hope. His legacy remains in my heart today, and I want to share it because I know I'm not the only person who has lost somebody so unexpectedly. *** Ovid (on when his brother died): "iamque decem vitae frater geminaverat annos, cum perit, et coepi parte carere mei." ("And he had just doubled ten years of his life when he died, and with him, a part of me.") ⭐ Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered || Change in Reality Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Personal Struggles, Essays, and Coping Reading Lists. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Our #NonFicSpotlight (May Spotlight) Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Past Spotlights Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Memoir Reading List.

Fun Little Lies | Ginny and Georgia by yu_xbazz

_________________ Out of nowhere, Mom came around the corner pointing a gun at us. Ginny pointed the one that we found back at her. It was a shocking moment. "What the hell, Virginia and Oakley?

Mom says trying to put everything back in the box. " Are you kidding? To all of it! Your past everything. We're sick of all the lies" I say. " I don't care what you're sick of. You guys have no right to go through my stuff" Mom says putting the box back under the floorboards. " Don't talk to us about what is right. What is all this? Why are there guns in the house?" Ginny barked. " why do you have to send Maddie away?" I add. " That's between me and Maddie" Mom says. "She's our aunt! Why couldn't we know that? They're are family" I plead for answers. " They're not your guises family. I am your guys family!" Mom snapt. " I just want you to be honest with us" Ginny says. "I have been" Mom says. "Bullshit, Mary!" Ginny snaps.

They Called Me a Tragedy by ckyroe

[Currently discontinued] I lost everything before I even knew how to live. Orphaned, cast into the care of relatives who never wanted me, I learned early that the world doesn't notice when you disappear. To everyone around me, I am quiet, polite, fragile. I stay in the corners. I smile when I must. People say I'm sweet, obedient, unassuming - perhaps they are right. Perhaps they don't see the ways I watch, the choices I make in silence. I move carefully. I observe. I wait. Some doors, once opened, are better left undiscovered. They called me a tragedy. Perhaps they were right - or perhaps they never truly understood.

Because We Had Us by isabelle0265

We were trying for so long to find normal that we forgot what it was. Forever we searched, we survived, we sacrificed, but in the end we had us. Us was a strange, very unlikely group of people. We didn't have much except secrets, sarcasm, and an endless amount of obstacles; but despite it all we had an epic story that was cut too short.

I Am Hated, Or So I Thought Volume 1 by Cyclone499

A mother who once tried to kill me. A sister who always found wrongs in me. A childhood friend who insulted me every time she talked to me. Classmates who accused me for everything that happened me. The teachers who didn't believe me. I wondered why. Ever since childhood, was there ever a time when someone ever protected me? The way everyone looked at me, I could feel daggers within the stares. I already knew this but it still hurt a lot. After all, I was hated by everyone I knew....or so I thought.
