Hello, my friends!It's been a hot second since I posted anything, but I have returned to give you all the stories I have been working on since I left.This link will take you to the google doc with my amalgamation of works (which, isn't really that impressive, but here we are).The reason I don't have the stories just here on the Reedsy page is because I used lots of color for one poem, and I can't show that here.Those of you who remember my old CYOA, this new doc inclu...
Before leaving the car, I checkĀ my belongings.Ā Retainer case, phone,Ā money for lunch,Ā spareĀ hairĀ tie.Ā Looks like I have everything.Ā Ā I takeĀ a deep breath before opening my car door.Ā IĀ amĀ so excited for my firstĀ day at the new job, but also a little unsure what to expect. I have never worked atĀ anĀ Icy DukeĀ before.Ā But making ice creamĀ Snowstorms canāt be that difficult, can it?Ā I enter the restaurant and pau...
Hey all!!Here is a little something I decided would be fun to try to write: a choose your own adventure! This is just something I put together over the last week or so, and it is by no means completely done. Think of it as a part one. I would really appreciate it if you took the time to complete it (it will take like 10 minutes tops). It would be amazing if you also told me what you thought about it and what path you ended up on in the comments! (Itās really obvious at the top of the slide what path you took- itās a numb...
Hey all! I placed a glossary of the gods I mentioned in this story in the comments. Let me know if it helps!Set crept into the alley, quietly watching for any possible eavesdroppers. Hopefully Loki and Hermes were here already. The Egyptian god of chaos could only go so long without causing more chaos. He avoided several chip wrappers, only to step on a stick. The crack echoed loudly in the alley. Well, cover was pretty much shot at that point, might as well go...
This is the second part of āThe Zodiac Stories.ā The events in this part build from the firstĀ one, so I recommend reading that first!Ā :)Ā I predict I have about twenty seconds beforeĀ AustinĀ comes back, with MamaĀ in tow.Ā Ugh.Ā Sheāll know that Austin was lying about having a project.Ā There is no way around telling her about the recorder, but at least the batteryās dead, so she canāt listen to the conversation. Not thatĀ having ancient technology isĀ illegal.&nbsp...
Beep. āWhat is this? Did it just beep? Why is the red light flashing? Is it humming? MaybeĀ it'sĀ an explosive! What if it blows me up- AHHHHHHH!ā *crash*Ā Beep.Ā Ā āļøāļøāļøĀ Beep. āOh. Well, itĀ didnātĀ blow me up, as I am still here. I pressed the two triangles pointing to the left, and I heard myselfĀ say words that I already said.Ā So, I pressed the sideways tr...
When Grandma fell and broke her leg, my family rushed to help her. What did she need from her house now that she was living with her mother in a one-story home? Did she want us to take care of her heating and electric bills? Did she want Dad and Uncle Justin to move her laundry machine from the basement to the ground floor? The questions continued as such, with the adults wondering what they could do. However, my siblin...
What if you were given theĀ chanceĀ to go back in time and fix your mistakesĀ or those of others?Ā Would you takeĀ this once-in-a-lifetime opportunityĀ without a second thought?Ā Or would you be a little more cautious (You couldĀ changeĀ the world)? What if itĀ wouldnātĀ change anything at all?Ā ---------Ā Hi,Ā Iām Death. Itās nice to meet you (Even though I'veĀ probablyĀ already met you, you just didnāt know). You may know me asĀ The...
I am a planner. I try to plan for every and all possibilities. Saved in the picturesĀ appĀ of my phone,Ā I had exactly 37 schedules and lists of what to do when something goes wrong, or just what I should do on a normal day. It was a foolproof system.Ā Every single possibility that could happen was somewhere in the lists, I promise you. But even I,Ā Madi Anderson,Ā aĀ great planner, could not prepare for what happened this camping trip.Ā -------------Ā āI wish we co...
āI dare you,ā my sister told me.Ā āIsa, I donāt really want to go-āĀ āI double dare you.āĀ āBut cemeteries are creepy and-āĀ āIāll give you all my chocolate candies.āĀ This made me pause and reconsider. āAll of the chocolates? Including the peanut butter cups?āĀ āOnly if you come,Ā Ana,ā Isa replied.Ā āFine, Iāll do it, but only for the chocolates,ā I conceded.Ā Ā ...
As I walked out into the beautiful autumn weather, I wondered what I was going to celebrate the coming of Fall this year. Every year, from the first day of autumn to the first day of winter, I always complete a list, adding something new every year. The things I do vary. Like last year, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (which are delicious, BTW). The year before, I attended Maple Townshipās first annual Fall Festival. This is my seventh year working on my list. I wondered what new activity would happen this year as I reviewed my list...
Hi. My name isĀ Victoria, and as of yesterday, I was able to remember my past. Today, I woke up, and couldnāt remember anything. All I know is the things in my future. I know I have a motherĀ I affectionately call Maimi.Ā I see no father in my future, only a man I callĀ Elcnu. I was confused at first, but I soon realized thatĀ āElcnuā is only āuncleā spelled backwards.Ā Iām not sure if he was my actual uncle, or if he was jus...
