My name is Marnie Wright, I'm twenty-four. My Aunt Cheryl was a detective, but a freak accident caused her to lose her life at the tender age thirty-five; unmarried and with no children. Since my dad was a sperm donor and my mother is too old to work, my aunt left her unsolved mysteries to me. After all, I was studying to be a detective to continue the family business: "Wright Detective Agency". She'd already left me a box full of her unsolved cases for when she retired or I earned my Private Investigation license. Which ever came first.
One night, as I was reading through the envelopes and out-dated cassette tapes, I found a folded note... I wonder if...

Horror's Story
Horror is an interesting person, and by far the most difficult genre to get ahold of. It took me forever to convince him to sit down and have an interview with me, and most of the questions he answered by physically showing me what he wanted me to feel from him. He made me mourn, he made me panic, he made me feel lonely, he intensified my fears. I almost feel sorry for him now, because he can't feel love, or compassion. Just...a cold and pale creature; strong, bloodthirsty. His eyes hold all of the pain hiding in this world. He made me curious, and I paid for that curiosity in full. He showed me the souls of fallen heroes, screaming in the dark. He showed me what it feels like to be helpless to a force I can't control. He wrote me a narrative to read. It's perfect writing material, if tamed correctly. Compilation of stuff I wrote in 2014-15 and posted later on. I was 13 or 14 years old at the time, so it's interesting to look back on it sometimes. It's marked as complete, but I've left some things unfinished because I don't remember my plans for them. *If you want to see my more advanced work, please go check out my new story The Blue Door on my profile page.

Ultraviolence
Things just come and go. Things pass by so fast you don't stop to look at what's happening. That's until you start to realize what's happening isn't right. ········· My husband isn't the person you think he is. It's all an act. He plays it well too. People would never believe me if I told them who he really is, they'd laugh. How he treats me isn't right, but I can't tell. Nobody would believe me. Nobody would help me. I fear what will happen if I tell. ········· "Please Elena just listen to me. Or face my consequences." Reece yells. I jump like a child that was just caught having more candy than their allowed. "Get in. Now!" He's right in my face, but I don't blink. I don't dare make a move, frightened for what's about to happen. But that's just the beginning. Cover done by: @purplepenguinnComplete
jace
"My name is Jace Overton, and I have schizophrenia." Mr. Stevenson stood from his desk, his eyes widening and surprise slapping him in the face as if he'd just discovered vibranium. "Wow, so you're a schizophrenic?" My mom told me there were three kinds of people in the world: people that didn't care, people that cared enough, and people that cared too much. He was definitely the third type of person. "No, I have schizophrenia. I am not a schizophrenic." "Is there a difference?" I stared at him blankly, "I wouldn't have corrected you if there wasn't." ----- Jace is weird. Jace has a blunted affect, a knack for memorizing, and a strong attraction to a Pakistani girl named Elizabeth. He also has a distant father, an overbearing psychiatrist and two best friends that get him into situations (some of which end with his nose [and heart] being broken). He has a sister that's ten years his senior, daily medication, serious hatred for the color white and a mere four years to accomplish the following things: 1) Make his parents fall in love with each other again. 2) Make Elizabeth fall in love with him. 3) Get people to understand that he has schizophrenia, he is not a schizophrenic. The former is attached to an identity while the latter is a label. A CampNaNoWriMo NovelComplete
His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
