CW: Mental health, gore I take pride in my name. Michael. Sure, it's simple, it's common, whatever. But it's me. Some people call me Mike, some people pronounce the whole name. A couple people have unique nicknames for me, but for the most part, I am Michael. Everyone here knows me, save for the newest of the newcomers. I went to the public high school because my parents couldn't afford to send me to the private one. But that's okay, and honestly I prefer it that way. If I went somewhere else I don't know where I would be. Who I'd be. 22 yea...

J̶o̶s̶e̶p̶h̶ J͟e͟f͟f͟e͟r͟y͟ and Lana

Here we go. Lana gazed into the eyes of Joseph as she proudly spoke the words, "I do." Lana was a beautiful young lady, the kind that the entire town waited in suspense to see who she married. Joseph was the one, the lucky boy who had gotten it all. Lana's father was a wealthy businessman who practically ran the town alongside the governor due to his grasp on the economy, which made Lana seem all the more desirable.

Family finds you

I made it! We're here now. Seventeen days of straight travel but it was all worth it. This place is so beautiful... Glorious pieces of art, both natural and man-made, strewn endlessly about. I feel at home here, the same mediums I have spent my life perfecting being displayed on such a grand scale in this forest. A beauty to behold, truly. It's like all of my life and everything I have learned was taught to me by this forest, through other things. All along, it was this place, influencing it all so I may eventually discover it. What an amaz...

George's heart

His heart was broken. Sarah, his truest of loves, had left him. She could not bear to deal with him any longer. In and out of the hospital, Sarah saw George as a burden both financially and mentally more than another person she could share her life with. George could not understand, as all he ever did was care. To him, a relationship only entailed constant mutual care for the other, but Sarah required more than that, and George could not fulfill her demands. As a hopeless romantic, all George could do was love during the relationship and we...

Weekly Contest #326

This story contains sensitive themes such as mental health, physical violence, and suicide. I do not know why people are mad at me. They say things, yell things, that I think they think will hurt me. They seem to not be able to control this anger that they have. I have done nothing wrong to them, so I do not understand their reaction. It seems merely childish to me. They cannot think well enough, perhaps.I have done a few things, I suppose. Nothing that is as bad as their yells, of course, but I think I might know why they are so deafenin...
