“Ready For An Adventure?” by 𝙰𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝙹𝚊𝚗𝚎

Submitted to Contest #97

I took a step into the warm sunlight and let its golden rays wash over my damp face. In the movies when characters are walking away and moving on, they never look back. They never look back because they are so focused on where there going, that the only place they have to look, is forward. But as I stood outside of the house that had been my home my whole life, I looked back. And I guess real life is not like the movies, because even when we're ready to move on. Even when we're so ready for change, it does not make it any easier for everyt...

Submitted to Contest #80

I never thought I could change the world; never thought I could even impact it.And I mean can you really blame me?Blame me for having dreams so big, that I figured they would never come true?This world is filled with billions of people, and I am just one of them, how could I make a difference?If you looked in a sky of billions upon billions of fireflies, and one of them was different, one of them glowed brighter, acted differently. Would you notice?Notice that single Firefly?You wouldn’t, and that’s ok, I wouldn’t either. After all, there ar...

“You Have Always Been My Light” by 𝙰𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝙹𝚊𝚗𝚎

Submitted to Contest #58

The first thing you need to know is that this is a love story, and perhaps a little more than that, but that all depends on you. This story starts where they all do, the superior night sky. Although, unlike the night sky that gets so carefully painted above your head every night, this sky is nothing but darkness. Black as the demons hiding in your head, nothing but a dark sky and a world bellow even darker. This universe was not one to be filled with wonder and discovery, it was simply empty and silent. Amongst the deep bath of endle...

“The Greatest Gift Of All” by 𝙰𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝙹𝚊𝚗𝚎

Submitted to Contest #56

I am going to become a mother.A mother, to a newborn baby. I’m going to raise a child; how do you do that? How do you raise a child?I’m barely out of college and sing and write songs for a living, I can’t be a mother.My fingers shake uncontrollably at my sides as I lay in my hospital bed. Worries flying through my head like songbirds. I squeeze the thin sheets in my fists, the papery fabric crinkling noisily under me.Cool air from the vents above my head, dances across my damp face, my heart beating rapidly. My hospital room is small and whi...

Im hoping to learn and grow my writing style here on Reedsy, and all likes, comments, and feedback are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much to everyone who reads and likes my stories, it means the world to me! I am currently working on my first novel. It is a YA contemporary, based around the theme of the stars. If anyone is interested in being a beta reader, a critique partner, or has any interest in my work, send me a message through my Pinterest account. @aclarke4689. I probably will not be writing stories on here because of the new fee for entering the contests. However, I really hope one of my stories can make you smile and that everyone is staying safe.♡
