The Doll's Girl

Faerie Star

CW: Child abuse, suicide, murder The doll had seen many things in her time. She had been purchased for rich children and ridden on pampered ponies with sleek, braided hair while the children laughed wildly in her ear. She had been purchased by old collectors, who set her on a shelf and forgot her, until the collector died, and she was auctioned off, or sold with the estate. She had even once been stolen, brought to a poor man’s twin daughters for a memorable few months before the man had been caught and hanged for his thievery and the doll w...

Expectations and Miscommunications

Faerie Star

DISCLAIMER: I am not, here, trying to say that all social media is bad. I am only trying to bring attention to the fact that it does bring many problems with it, which can be avoided. Social media can be a good place, to connect and see others' lives, and I do not want to discount that. However, oftentimes it does do more harm than good. 1: Eat healthier. 1:00 PM. Seine sat at her desk and thought that this was a perfectly normal New Year’s resolution. She had heard that, at least. The first time making goals really is difficult. H...

Ugh

Faerie Star

CW: Mentions death"Ugh.""What?""I don't know. I can't say it aloud. My throat just closes off every time I try. You know the feeling?""No."I groan and squeeze my eyes shut. Aren't counselors supposed to help with stuff like this? Not that this fraud really counts as a counselor. He's the old janitor, didn't even go to college, much less for psychology. He still smells like mold and week-old sloppy Joes.I came to school today and found out that Mom called the admin and set up an appointment because she was "slightly worried for me". Whatever ...

Welcome to Magicae Libri (Magic books, for every need you could have!)

Faerie Star

Magicae Libri (Magic books, for every need you could have!). The sign swings above the door, creaking on hinges that sound like they haven’t been oiled in hundreds of years. They’re brand new, but I want them to sound like that; it adds to the atmosphere of my store. When I open the door, a wind chime tinkles in a slightly melancholy way. The windows of the door are spic and span, glass colored bright purple, the color of magic.Inside the books are all arrayed beautifully on shelves. magical artifacts line the walls, and dust swirls in the a...

Malus domestica

Faerie Star

CW: Mentions death.I see that my face and arms are streaked with dirt as I peer into the pool within the tiny mint-green watering can. A butter-yellow sun with red cheeks and prominent dimples smiles up at me from the side of the can. This is it. Hope. Connor steps over the little hole in the ground that we have just finished digging, his hand clutching the baggie which contains the last seed of its kind, Malus domestica, or, apple tree, tightly. He wraps his free arm around me and I lean into him. I look up at his face and see tears gl...

Always Improve, Become the Best

Faerie Star

CW: Allusions to emotional abuse, minor mentions of parental cheating.My life motto is, Always improve, become the best. No one really understands my motivation, and to be honest I don’t really understand it either. I guess it came from my aunt Charity, and a boy named Grayson Dawn.My parents died in a canoeing accident when I was little, maybe four or five, and I moved in with my aunt Charity when no one else was willing to take me in. She’s so charitable, isn’t she? Get it? Anyway, as soon as I moved in with her she made it very clear...

For the Better

Faerie Star

CW: This story contains small mentions of death.“Everything is changing.” Those might be the truest words I’ve ever spoken, said to no one but the lovely cabin that stands before me. But I feel that they will hang in the air here in this place forever. I step into the car, place my foot on the gas, yet I hesitate putting pressure on it. I am not ready to leave my home behind.I know I had to sell it. I do not make enough money to continue driving all the way here, especially with gas prices skyrocketing. Not if I want to be able to have luxur...
