Hi! I have been writing for fun and publishing stories on my personal website for years. My whole goal of being on here is to gain feedback that will provide future success (so please share any feedback!).

This is a continuation of Chocolate Rain (the whole story was too long to post in one story), which I’m submitting for a writing competition.
Ten minutes later, he begins to feel heavy, like an anchor dragging me into a mess bound to end in a sea of tears. I drag my feet across the pavement, searching for open places to sleep. Residents are sleeping up and down the streets; some seek shelter in ...
This is PART ONE of a short story I’m submitting for a writing competition. FYI this doesn’t fully follow the prompt but it was my inspiration for the story! Part 2 is out now… Enjoy!
On dark, dreary nights like these, I pull my blanket up to my chin so its warmth covers the freckles underneath my bottom lip. When the winds are mysterious, and I find the noises from the city become too overwhelmi...
Hi! This is a flash fiction story (200 words max) that I’ve submitted to a writing contest. I think it fits this promt nicely — despite it not being a direct confession of love. (This was my first time writing flash fiction) Enjoy!

Rejection is hard for everyone — except for me, that is. I’m not someone who takes rejection to heart. I don’t care what people think or do.
Yet, I ...
Hi Everyone! I originally posted this story about two weeks ago but I feel like it fits this prompt a lot better! I submitted this story to a writing competition a little while back and I recently learned that it has been chosen to be a finalist in the competition! Enjoy and lmk what you think!
The scintillating sun spills its tears across my face. They rain down, falling onto my cheeks, caressin...
Hi Everyone! It’s my birthday today so I decided I would post two stories! This is the second of the two, so check out the other one as well ;)
This is a symbolic short story, written for my English honors class. The symbol is the shoes and notice how they change the main character over time.
This doesn’t really fit with this prompt but I needed somewhere to put it.
I am a dark shade of gray,...
Goodnight beautiful.
Together we can dance upon the clouds.
Our own paradise of imagination,
distant yet just an inch away.
Souls intertwined,
we’ll travel beyond elsewhere,
and whatever comes after.
You consume my thoughts.
I melt to your touch,
and sparks dance between our fingertips.
Is it too little to just say goodnight.
How I wish the days were longer,
and not numbered as they are.
If on...
Chapter One:
Nights like these are perfect for getting rid of unneeded things in the world, like ex-lovers. The darkness surrounds me and the forest of oak trees, which calmly sway with the wind. I adjust my tunic swiftly, which is partly stuck in the bush I’m hiding behind. “I know she will be coming,” I think to myself. Her dusty brown boots always give her away. As if on queue, she rounds the...
My knives clang together, sending echoes throughout the entire kitchen. Pots and pans dangle from the ceiling and rattle together gently, sounding more like window chimes then cooking tools. The stove sizzles quietly adding to the melodic chant being created by the unspoken visitors. I grab one of the chicken breast from the fridge and put on a new set of latex gloves. I grab my knife once more an...
Chapter two of the story that got 3rd place in the royalty completion.
I peer above the covers, clutching the blanket close to my face. I press the sheets down tightly around my body, trapping the warm air in. Tree branches smack my windows like toy monkeys crashing their symbols together. I gently shut my eyes and try to sink farther into the mattress, searching for anything comfortable. I welco...
A/N - This is the updated version of the story that got me third in the royalty competition! Enjoy!
Blood drips down my chin, tears leak from my eyes, and sweat caresses my neck. I can taste the blood beneath my teeth, slightly sweet and warm. I force myself to my feet, fixing my crown which lays slightly askew. The pool of my wet hair sends droplets rolling down my bare back and ears. I just loo...
