Just a short story I wrote for my first 8th grade English assignment of 2014, based upon "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs.
Herbert White finds himself trapped between the life he once had, or life in the dead. After his mother wishes her son's return, Herbert, his life, the paw, and his family, spiral into a light they never once imagined, and leaving each other heartbroken.

Stitches
Based off of the short story I wrote called Bloody Sympathy. Holds similarities but a lot of it is changed or made more subtle since that was old writing and I find the intense sudden angst very cringe worthy but people wanted a full story and I like the original path the story was taking so i'm trying it out. Taekwoon lost his Mother at 15. His Father became distant and he took to school. He put all of his pain into studying and getting the grades he knew his Mother would have wanted him to have. Fighting his way to the top of the class Taekwoon graduated High School with a full paid scholarship to multiple universities. Taekwoon knew he wanted to be a doctor and saves lives. The issue was, he was terrified of needles. What is to come when he is the only one who can save a woman's life but has to face his fear to do so?Complete
Cancer (Their Story.)
(Yo, writing club kids, this is the story.) Two people are connected in a way that they can't even imagine. A profound connection that leads both of them to recovery in the face of mental illness and abuse. They both stand through the storm, letting their sadness infect them and sicken them, much like a cancer, but they manage to recover, but how?Complete
Pretty Lost (Completed)
I'm doing a story based on these three words. Perfect. Stuck. Lost. My friend is also doing this challenge so i hope you enjoy this story! And don't worry i'll still work on my other story!! This story is about a boy who wants to do things the way his home used to live like. . . will he see the flaws in others and judge them or learn to be understanding of others? Read to find out. It is my first few books so this may suck but I'll get better. Super cringe so just switch to one of my other books. Probs won't finish book two of this, if I'm being honest, this wasn't the best. Might rewrite it one day. (Looking back, I was on some sort of drugs cause what was I thinking? I'm surprised people can even find this garbage fire.)Complete
White Crayon
"If you ever feel down, or you feel like your worthless, just remember the white crayon. No one can use one. No one needs one." One second children are laughing and the next someone got hurt. It could be someone else's fault, or purely coincidental. Everyone deals with guilt differently. Some play the victim, using it to play the main character in a story that was never written for them. Some surround themselves with things and people that can turn their mind off for awhile. Others might feel guilty when they weren't even there. They feel like they need to go through something similar or worse to validate their suffering. Others grin and bear it, maybe because they don't have time, or they don't want the time. The day everything came barreling down, Rune Winston was a White Crayon.Complete
Reminisce about All | Kang Hyun x Reader
"you get into an accident and lose your memory. not wanting to hurt him, your family lies that you've passed away. except for years later, he meets you again, but you don't remember anything of him." Original plot by somehow scenarios. DISCLAIMER: Tears inducing, or at least to me.Complete
Trouble Makers
I wrote this story when I was in elementary school. I won't be taking it down because it took me a lot of time and effort to write and it was the beginning of making long stories for me. It is *heavily* inspired by Maximum Ride by James Patterson.Complete
