"They laughed. They filmed. They moved on.
But Evan never did."
Evan was just another invisible kid, navigating high school alone-until the night everything changed. Beaten, humiliated, and turned into a viral joke, the world didn't see his pain. They saw content. The laughter never stopped, and neither did the torment.
But Evan had one final message. One last act to make them listen.
As his scheduled video plays across millions of screens, the world watches in horror. His words echo far beyond the laughter, forcing everyone-his bullies, his classmates, and even strangers-to face the truth. But in his final moments, Evan makes one unexpected choice... forgiveness.
This haunting, thought-provoking story isn't just about loss. It's about the weight of our actions, the power of redemption, and the voices we fail to hear-until it's too late.
Would you have laughed? Or would you have listened?

Fragile Bones
Madeline Winters. When people hear that name whispered in the halls of McGregor high school, they think one of two things: a quiet and somewhat awkward girl to pick on, or nothing at all. What no one realizes is that they're tearing her down with each hurtful remark. Cue Asher King moving into the school, acting as his surname immediately upon entering. With his tattoos, cigarettes and rough attitude, he's anyone but someone you would want to befriend. However, he also takes an interest in her that no one else ever has from the first glimpse into her empty eyes. What he doesn't realize is just how much of a shell she's become. *deals with eating disorders #1 on mental illness - 1/26/20, 7/8/20, 12/21/21 #1 on boy - 2/12/20, 1/4/23 #2 on bully - 4/1/20 #1 on high school - 7/6/20 #1 on sad - 8/16/20 #2 on sad - 11/5/21 #1 on funny - 8/18/20, 1/25/23 #1 on ed - 11/30/20, 12/19/20, 3/25/21 #2 on girl - 12/22/20, 11/30/22 #2 on acceptance - 1/7/21 #1 on abuse - 4/11/21 #2 on teen - 5/21/22 Completed November 1, 2021Complete
The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete
