I'm back from the dead 🧟‍♀️!  Sorry I didn't upload last week.  Things were really hectic and crazy, but I'm back can't wait to share my newest story.  Enjoy! Piece Me Together "It's men you should be afraid of, not monsters." ‒ Niccolò Ammaniti       Sebastian was an introverted freshman at the prestigious University of Ingolstadt.  He didn't have many friends, as his studies took up most of his time.  One of the students that attended this school was Marie Bryner, the brightest pupil at the school and excelled in all of her studies.  Despite her youth, she was well respected among the entire student body.  Even though she was a friendly person, she always seemed cold and distant.  She was never a part of any clubs or sororities, not even a small group of friends.  Some thought her reserved personality was completely normal, as one of her majors was forensic pathology, and she spent most of her time surrounded by co...

 The C ursed Journal “No beast is more savage than man when possessed with power answerable to his rage” - Plutarch   Rosalind has always been somewhat of an outcast at school.  Because of her thin frame and quiet nature, kids were afraid of her.  Most of her classmates just avoided her completely.  But there were four girls in particular who loved to pick on her.  Vivian, Sophia, Lola, and Hannah.  They would call her “FREAK”, “demon girl”, “Here comes the witch, be careful she might put a spell on you”.  When Rosalind told a teacher what was going on, the girls cornered her in the library and beat her up.   Rosalind and her family had just moved to a new house.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t far enough for Rosalind to switch schools.  But the move did excite her, because there was a creepy graveyard nearby and rumor had it that there was an abandoned cottage where a witch had once lived.  So one night, Rosalind decided to visi...

Welcome back my lovelies!  I really hope you enjoyed the first story, "Wrapped Around Her Finger".  If you haven't check it out yet, you can access it through the "Halloween" tag.   This story was inspired by Chlöe's, from Chloe x Halle, new song "Have Mercy".  I highly recommend giving it a listen and watching the music video.  Here's the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfesqRkdSEk .  Enjoy! Fatal Beauty Searching for a 21-year-old college student who went missing almost a week ago.  What took place the night he disappeared?      It was Valentines' Day, which meant it was time for the fraternity, Pi Sigma Eta, to hold its annual Valentines' Day party.  Justin had missed last year’s party, so when it got late, instead of heading back to his dorm room, he headed to the bar for another drink.     There, he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.  She was decked out in a hot pink dr...

Happy Spooky Season 👻🎃!!  In preparation for Halloween, I will be releasing short stories based on some of my favorite movies, books, and songs with a sinister twist.  This first one is takes inspiration from "The Reluctant Orchid" by Arthur C. Clarke which was the main source of inspiration for Little Shop of Horrors (1960).  Enjoy! Wrapped Around Her Finger "I swear on all my spores When he's gone the world will be yours" - Little Shop of Horrors Since Georgia was a child, she was enamored with plants of all kinds.  So it made sense that she would grow up to become a botanical biochemist at Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.  Her boyfriend, Michael, disapproved of his girlfriend’s profession and held no love or appreciation for Mother Nature in her purest form.   One day, one of the traveling naturalists brought in something to the conservatory that would change Georgia’s life forever.  An orchid that was discovered in a remote part of the Chocó Rain...
