It is only after all of the festivities of the New Year have subsided does it become apparent that someone has been left behind. Patience Theisen, a twenty-year-old drifting through day to day life dies, left beside a dumpster 300 miles away from home. Bewildered by her arrival in what she is told to be Heaven, Patience slowly comes to terms with her death as she watches those she left behind struggle to do the same on earth. Made to explore the strands of the past that brought them to the end of her life, Patience's memory dredges up old secrets, reopens wounds and illuminates the dishonesty of the image her family constructed of her.

When she finally has had enough and snaps, she's thrown into some of the worst experiences of her life. Read with Caution. "... A lighter was produced, a small piece of toilet paper in the other hand. A light, an ignition, and the flaming paper was dropped into the trash, igniting the waste as my own fire burned in that bed.

Everything Hurts
I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

Glass Heart
Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)Complete
