For the Greater Good!
So this one is based on the idea of “For the Greater Good.” It’s dark, and somewhat violent. See end notes and tags for more warnings. I am running a little light on saved content. Starting in the new year I am switching the short stories to biweekly posting for my own sanity. I may … Continue reading For the Greater Good!
The Grand Canyon
This is a short story based on a prompt someone shared that went something like “If heartbreak creates a hole in your heart, describe the grand canyon.” This is one of the pieces I am not happy with. I feel like its a summary of a longer work, and I can’t quite get past that … Continue reading The Grand Canyon
Ambush
I wrote this one for the reedsy prompt. “Write a story where a meal or dinner goes horribly wrong.” It is the story of Ellie, who is Aro/Ace and walks into the worst dinner party ever with some well intentioned but rather ignorant family members. Ellie was running late. She had considered canceling when she realized, … Continue reading Ambush
The Madness of Faerie

So its set between two novels I haven’t written about a young girl with early onset schizophrenia. I did do some research on Schizophrenia before I wrote … Continue reading The Madness of Faerie

Its a little sad, and a bit depressing, but kind of … Continue reading Infinite Regrets
The Magician
I wrote this for the Reedsy.com prompt “Write about a reluctant party-goer who ends up being the star of the show.” My take was a teenage who was being forced to attend his six year old cousin’s birthday party instead of a pool party. “I don’t want to go mom.” “I didn’t ask you if … Continue reading The Magician
The Escape
This one was an entry for the Reedsy.com prompt “Start your story with someone sitting on a crowded train and end it with them looking out over beautiful natural scenery.” and I wrote it while using an ambient noise tool so that I could hear the noise of the train. Its dark, there is implied … Continue reading The Escape
