"She wasn't ready to let go of her past. She wasn't ready to hold onto the future either.
Follow Grace's journey as she relives the rollercoaster of memories from the past whilst seated on her grandmother's rickety old Steinway piano."
A reflection of my personal emotions/opinions towards my main hobby. Very loosely based on personal experiences. (Like at least 2%.) This is just a short creative piece that I had to submit for an English assignment at school.

Kith never thought that her senior year of high school would be spent in a frat house, especially the frat house of her ex-best friend's, douchey, irresponsible older brother, Cameron. She'd fantasized about going to college since middle school, but not like this, not this early. She'd never planned on doing homework in a lounge that reeked of testosterone and beer while her new roommate partied until the stars went to sleep. Kith had never intended to be the source of drama in two very different schools either. Her senior year was supposed to consist of: hanging out with friends, doing tedious assignments, having a snowball fight during Winter Break, tanning during Spring Break, and rounding off her high school career with a creatively themed Prom. But none of that mattered; her plans didn't mean anything anymore. The phrase 'supposed to' was now an afterthought. Because things had gotten a little screwed up on the way to graduation. Deals with Mature Themes such as mentions of rape. Warning will be given beforehand.Complete
sad, beautiful, tragic // j.r.b
~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...Complete

Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged.

Our True Ending
You (using "they/them" pronouns like the game to be inclusive!) have now become much closer to Lucifer after he secretly witnesses your independent show of the piano. He rather liked the melody, but you keep the origins of it a secret for the time being. After the events of him winning the talent show with drums (Devilgram story of Lucifer's UR card "Lucifer the Demon of Rock"), you two bond further over music. Being as though you both grew fond of each other to the point of loving each other dearly, it's as though a married couple just came to be living in the House of Lamentation. However, it seems to him that you and a significant other have become quite close as well. Thinking you two were each other's one and only, he gets surprisingly more obsessive and over protective of you in order to keep you to himself. Do you like this demonically obsessive Lucifer as he now expresses his feelings more, letting his pride slip away for a human or did YOU become his new pride? I decided to give Lucifer a yandere story type since he's pretty much hinted to be that kind of character in the game and his character song Also omfg don't make fun of the cards I'm using 😭Complete
