A 3 part short story.
Arcadia (Greek: Ἀρκαδία) refers to a vision of pastoralism and harmony with nature.
'You are my saviour, you are our saviour. We will take revenge.'
People saw it as heaven, a place where the good and hardworking enjoyed their life in harmony. But even heaven has its stains, the ugly stains that could never be washed away. They didn't chose to be those stains, they were simply born to be, born into an unfair world, a world with its shames hidden.
This wasn't heaven, it was hell.

Short Stories/Song Lyrics
This is mainly full of song lyrics. Sorry. I'm not creative enough to actually make short stories. There are, like, two chapters that are short stories, but that's it. TW: If you're easily disturbed by talk or mention of suicide, some chapters are not for you (i.e. My R, Her Last Words, Willow Tree). You may skip these chapters if you please. ALSO, there is some strong language (i.e. fuck, shit, asshole, etcetera). Please be mindful of that. Thank you for your time.Complete
Moth
They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.Complete
Omega, angel of Chaos. (PJO fanfic)
A story, according to google, is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. I don't tell people about my past, to many bad memories lurk there, and i don't really trust people either, but today i made an exception. Because today i tell my story. Every little, gruesome detail. Every tear shed. Every injury inflicted. I tell you. Just so you know the stories that end in happily ever after, they are the imaginary ones. But the stories that end in death and deceit, pain and loss, they are the real ones, people just don't like to admit it. I'll let you figure my story out though.Complete
