artist cancer death depression downs father feels music musician sad son suicide

Following the death of his mentally impaired sister, Lucas Blake sinks into deep depression. Each day that passes feels like an eternal emptiness until he finally decides to end his life. He runs to a hill near his house with a single tree on top, desiring to kill himself.

But then he meets her.


I wrote this story for a creative writing class my senior year of high school. Its tone and themes are supposed to emulate John Green in their sadness and maturity. Of course, having never read a book by John Green, I have no idea how well (or even if) I pulled this off. In any case, I hope you cry.All Rights Reserved

I stood on the edge of the rooftop. My eyes closed and my mind free. I'm ready. Now is the time. I could feel my breath quickening, Breathe in, Breathe out. I slowly start to gain composure of my thoughts. I can hear the people on the ground. I can see them entering the building in their perfect dresses with their perfect hair. I look down at my Royal Blue gown and smile. It's time. I slowly exhale and let myself fall. I'm free. Well, that's what I thought when I jumped, but the world hates me. So now.

Misery Loves Company by KishaMJHayes

"Make it stop!! Make it stop!!" I scream with tears running down my face as jolts of pain pierce through my body. "I can't," My mom tells me over and over again as she cries too. "What the hell is going on?" Drake yells, still half naked after trying to rape me for the second time in my life. My brother comes bursting through the door at an inhumane speed and picks up my naked body and runs off towards the woods. I don't know what's happening, my head is spinning, my body is in pain and a voice in my head is telling me to relax, let go and let them take control. What do they mean, let go? "Stop fighting the change Misery." Stanley tells me. What is he doing here? The pain increases, of all the days why does this happen on my birthday, was my last thought before the darkness engulfs me. This is the first time I'm letting my writing be seen. I do appreciate criticism and pointers of mistakes that I make.

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).

He sat on the edge of the bed and felt like throwing up, he wanted to curl up in a ball and just sink far down into the ground. He didn't know what to do in the situation and was stress. The rain outside got louder and harder, hearing the roars of thunder. The windows sounding like they were getting hit by rocks, the AC felt like it was being pressured on. All this going on had him in frustration. His phone kept ringing repeatedly by the same contact as before, he takes a glance at it and turns it around not wanting to reply or even look at it. He felt one tear come down and caress his cheek as it made its way to his neck, he didn't even wipe it due to his state. He felt heavy and pressured on, he felt sick and numb. One tear after the other he start to ball out crying, until he saw the headlights from his window, the light crossing his face causing him to blink due to the brightness. He slowly gets off the bed and heads to the window. He looks down to see a black familiar car pull in the driveway as the rain hits the roof of it, someone gets out of it. The person looked worried and was already getting drenched in the pouring rain. "O-oh my god." He says in a weak voice and quickly rushes to go open the door. He got to the door and quickly opened it. The guy was drenched in rain but had a slight smile on his face, the boy couldn't hold back and immediately hugged him. He didn't care if he was drenched in water, he just glad he was there.... . . . . . . Desire ||✯✯||

Bring Glory(Us) Life by B00kwyrm12

God's eye shone bright in a clear blue sky, casting warm light upon the earth, nurturing the blooming life of spring. The scents of new flowers impregnated the moist air, birds flew in the sky, people smiled and laughed. It truly was a glorious day to die. The boy with the sad gray eyes stared down at the ground, far, far below, his short dark hair blown back by the wind. His bare toes curled nervously over the edge of the building, knocking tiny bits of stone down, down, down ten stories of brick walls and dusty windows to the empty pavement below. The streets were empty in this part of town where aspiring artists set up shop in abandoned warehouses and old factories. No one would stop him here.
