Visible Stories

"Is it called triumph, really, when the only thing you can manage to do is get out of bed in the morning?" Everyone has that one thing they hate, but can't live without - for Jesse Etherington, that's his wheelchair.

(Winner of the #TheBigCollab2k16) Negative thinking. It's become an unfortunate habit for some and an endless cycle for others. Either way, it is a problem. But every problem can be solved. Defeat of the habit overcomes everything. Louise, born with albinism, struggles with an ever looming anxiety, while also doing everything she can to keep her friend Warren afloat in the wreck that was once his self confidence. Only through breaking the cycle of fear and doubt will she find a way to help both him, and herself see that nothing can hold them back. ------------------------------------------- Prompts and plot points used: Prompt: ProjectED A friend close to your MC has been diagnosed with an eating disorder.

All Tracie wants to do is fly. To feel the wind tickle her fingers. The exhilaration of being able to fly. But the ground seems far too close from her wheelchair.

I used to be a loser. Seriously. I've lost a lot of battles against my emotions. The past few years, however, I've been fighting hard for my mental well-being, and I'm finally winning. It's been a rough ride, and it's not over yet! Come along on the journey through my past as I reminisce the events of my life that contributed to my disorder, and the steps I took to pick up the pieces after I broke. Memoirs of a Bipolar Winner is based on my past and personal experience. My hope is that it will be able to help other people who suffer from this illness, and remind them that they are NOT ALONE.

They're all battling the demons that come with time and change, struggling to reconcile their high school histories with their present realities. Relationships shatter. Shots are fired.

What if your body doesn't always do what you want it to do? For June, this isn't a question, but a daily reality. As a fourteen-year-old with cerebral palsy, frequently dropping stuff and being stared at by complete strangers is nothing out of the ordinary. Other than that, life is great, until her parents decide to move to California. With all her friends miles away and nobody there to protect her from boys stealing your lunch, school becomes a lot more complicated than it had been. Then, she befriends Sam Redstone, a shy boy who'd always been invisible to others. June's days improve drastically with Sam by her side, and when she meets his older brother Nathan, she finally believes her cousin Valentina might have been right about sexy California guys. Slowly, she and Nathan develop a unique friendship, one that, June finds herself hoping, might someday turn into something more. But as the years go by, she's starting to think she might never be with him that way, or with any other man for that. Started: 29 January 2019 Completed: 16 May 2020

"ACE!" Naomi screams. I open my eyes and try to respond, but my mouth feels dry. "ACE!" I hear her scream again. I try to get up, but I can't. "Naomi." I whisper before everything goes black. -------------------------------- Ace is just another regular teenager...well, not exactly. He's invisible with the power to read minds. Nobody can see or hear them...almost nobody, that is. Naomi, a sarcastic, spunky girl walks into Ace's life. Not only can he not read her mind, but she can see him!

He could only see the colors in people. She saw nothing but gray. He took life for granted. She captured life on camera. "One more smoke won't hurt." He would say. "One more smoke will bring you closer to the brink of death." She would reply. "Yeah? Well, maybe I want that." Was always how he ended it. It was odd how much they differed.

Nobody cares if you're hanging by a thread or trudging through life completely bruised and swollen. Nobody is going to stand by your side when the first devastating wave of a tsuanmi hits. Everybody staring in fascination at the beauty of destruction. They are awe-struck or they are caught up in their own delusional lives. They come after its over, when only broken fragments and missing pieces are left. You cant ever fully repair what has passed to the beyond because trust is an a major social issue no one talks about. You either a hollow sociopath or a sunken skeleton with disorders so who's going to take you in? Your blessed life has collapsed into the oblivion and the new one sprang straight up from the fiery pits of hell. You can't differentiate between reality and your dreams because both re equally bad if not slightly worse. You are waging a mental battle against an opponent you created. And in it all, you are surely ready to be institutionalized. Where everything is a fabrication. Every whisper a painful lie. Every sight a distortion. And every friendship a psychotic one. Can yousee beyond a real nightmare infested with hallucinations? Can you survive the pull and safety the drugs offer? Can you embrace the adventure of life and come out unscatted? -------------- ABYSS Asylum is built for the specially gifted and is home to some of the most dangerous beings to walk this world.
