My mum thinks I'm special
But I don't think that's the case.
If I could talk I would take tell her that I'm not special- I'm not unique-
Because here's the problem:
I can't talk...
It's not that I couldn't,
Dr Reynolds -my speech therapist- says I can if I wanted to.
But she doesn't understand...
I always wanted to talk.
But the moment I open my mouth..
No words flow out.
Words fail me.
Dr Reynolds syas it's because I had a rough experience as a child.
I can read and write though
But I can't talk...
So I listen

The Test
They dragged me out to the police car. I feel weak. I had dried blood all over me and I could barely move my fingers. The two officers laid me against the car as they opened the door. They harshly flipped me over. "Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law." One of them says. Mostly everything that I heard was starting to fade and it felt like my ears were popping. "I didn't..d-do anything wro-.." I tried to say but my voice was too weak to continue the sentence. "You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish." Was the last thing I heard before I realized that I couldn't breathe.Complete

Because I Am Not Ordinary (A Doctor Who fanfic)
Luckily, I don't have a fancy life. No fancy cars, no fancy clothes. I'm just plain and simple. An ordinary person, living in an ordinary home, with an ordinary family. No brothers or sisters. No one to call a friend. So I guess I'm not ordinary. I am a lonely girl who needs someone to call a friend. Ordinary people have friends, but I don't. Because I am not ordinary. I only own Saidy.Complete
The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God
"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....Complete

The Girl Who Couldn't Speak ✓
Mama told me that I was a beautiful girl when I was little. Mama said that I had the prettiest tan skin, soft wavy black hair, and the most enchanting emerald eyes. She always called me her bundle of joy. Then she got very sad when she told me that I didn't have a voice. I was only two at the time. I didn't understand any of the former English gibberish. Mama looked like she wanted to cry every time I opened my mouth to let out what was supposed to be a small giggle of joy. Or when I wanted to say her name and Papa's name. But no sound would ever come out, and I was a very confused little toddler until the very first day of kindergarten. © Copyright 2016 Yuan S.C. HIGHEST RANKING #221 in Short Story 3/17/19.

Is It Love?
"Are you okay darling?" Reas soft voice echoed through my phone. "I'm okay, I just-" I stop suddenly. I don't want to ruin this, I might just feel like this because she's my best friend. Or it might be my drunk and empty brain tricking me. "You what?" She sounds worried, I don't want to worry her. "I just don't want to live without you, you make me feel safe. Thank you for always being here." I tried to word it in the most friendly way possible, I probably failed. "I won't ever leave." Her words brought a wave of relief, but I can't help the little part of me that thinks that's a lie. I really hope it's not a lie. ~~ Started: December 23rd, 2020 Finished: December 30th, 2021 COMPLETEDComplete
