This is a short story written when I was 10, still practicing. I would have edited this to sound better, but the rawness and simplicity of it spoke to me as sweet and especially good for children.
***********
Mr. Laboune is a poor painter, aspiring to become a worker for the king. However the perfect painting is not being coaxed from his brush. Will he be able to find the perfect one?

you're beautiful here
something i'd love to publish one day. after some hefty editing tho aha. intercept: Felix found himself very invested in Alice's daily visits. He was spending extra time getting ready in the morning. He had only a few inches of light brown wavy hair on top of his head and very little on the sides, yet he was spending his mornings making sure it laid in the perfect spot and looked just messy enough to act like he didn't care. He was setting out his clothes at night so that his jeans wouldn't have wrinkles in them. He was brushing his teeth for double as long as he normally would. He even invested in some floss. When he would go downstairs to Mugz, he would make sure to put on the cleanest Mugz sweater he had. He started sweeping more. Especially around the time she would be in, if only to be out in the lobby with her instead of having to talk over the counter. Alice was the same as always. She was very good at not showing an effect that his words had on her if she didn't want to. Any time she would say something suggestive or bold, Felix would find himself blushing or stuttering, but on the rare occasion that Felix would try to be as bold, she would just grin and laugh. It took him a while to ensure that she was laughing with him and not at his lousy attempts at banter.Complete
The Darkness of Beasts and Men
This is a short story about a young man and an incident he (somewhat) overcomes. This is a werewolf story, yes, but not a cliche-d one I hope, as it includes much more unhappiness and gore and such. There is no swearing, no nasty in-bed stuff, but there is gore. I mean, animal-mauling-blood-everywhere gore. Sorry, but in a werewolf reality, it would be rather dark and disturbing. If you do not like those things, please do not read for your own sake. Other than that, mild humor included. No idea if I'm going to write another story with the same sort of people or not, so I will get back to you later about that. Anyways, have fun and good luck. All characters' names and characteristics and fiction, I did not take them directly off somebody, so in cases of coincidence where you or someone you know looks like a character, my apologies, but I swear I didn't look up people and write their description. Just saying.Complete
Day-Lynx (EDITING)
After Death offered him another chance in life, a young artist struggles to live between two worlds: the human one where he fulfils his banal duties as an unknown artist and the supernatural world where he lives as a notorious beast whose head is hunted by countless masses. *** The Day-Lynx, a malformed lynx-like beast in Borealm Woods, has never done the Mountkirk locals harm. But the beast has become infamous among the citizens of the realm, leading both the villagers and outsiders to hunt it down and end its reign, even if they have to get their hands dirty. For years, it haunts the daydreams and nightmares of not only children, but even the toughest adults as well. When a bad incident strikes one of the villagers and involves the beast, the hunt for it ravages more than ever. However, some people are against the plan, including Rozell, an indie paintgrapher who's eager to portray nature in a more positive light. But only time can decide if his defiance can last long enough. And in the end, only the villagers can determine whether Rozell is only trying to avoid unnecessary trouble, or if he has chosen to save the beast instead of himself. • ONC 2021's Longlist Ambassadors' Pick and Shortlist Qualifier • 3rd Place in Fantasy - The Lucent Awards • 926/81.4k in Paranormal (October 2nd, 2021) • Featured in Gems Under 1k (July 2021) by Wacky Writers • Featured in More Than the Eye Can See (March 2022) by Speculative Fiction The surreal cover's credit goes to @Laentheon and her graphic shop, A Matter of Time.Complete

Bloody Paintbrush
Hey, this is my first story! Is starts off kinda normal and slow, but then gets intense and disturbing. I thought of this story; it's completely Original. The plot, the characters, everything. (except some names which my friends helped me with other than that everything is me.) Everyone is either the age of 20 or above. I wouldn't label this story as a romance so please don't refer to it as such. Life has been a rough mess with only illustrations to give her comfort. She then decided to turn that comfort into a goal of becoming a successful Artist. During her journey, she stumbles across two people that sweep her off her feet. Who will she choose? But will she even have the luxury of experiencing love? She's emotionally damaged with bad trauma and doesn't know how to love. Will it end in happily ever after or in a toxic pool of blood and sorrow? This story contains the following: Blood, Suicide, strong/mature language and theme, smut, and disturbing content. hope you guys enjoy!!Complete![[Book 1] Longing Love~ (Fallacy X Encre)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/120620123-256-k327672.jpg)
