I am Unexpected; I am Human

Note: This is kind of a repost…? I hate this one so much like, I HATE IT. I changed some things, so I hope ya’ll like it <3 Songs that go with this story:America by Alec BenjaminMoney Money by TransvioletAt one point in life, you decide where you're going to work, who you're going to get married to, when you're going to start a family…But no one has to anymore. The Algorithm decides that. Everyone in the city has a Watcher. They take that algorithm and graph your every move. That's the reason crime is so low. They know where you'll b...

Trauma

Note: Thank you all for being such nice people. From my newest follower, Silias Welson, to one of my biggest supporters on Reedsy, Akshara, you guys have always been there, willing me to keep going, keep writing. You are the reason I write. You are the reason, I get to do what I love. Daily Question: What is your relationship status? I'm single, which isn't surprising, considering the amount of things that has happened to me with "relationships". I'm just looking for the right guy. I know he'll show up somewhere... Also, weird question, ...

Car Trouble

Power off.My computer screen goes black and I sigh. The work day is over.I run my fingers over the frosty window, staring at the snow falling onto the busy street. The people down below act like this is a routine, and maybe it is. I wouldn’t really know, because I don’t live in New York.I get up out of my chair and clock out, passing co-workers who are just now coming in. It hardly snows in California where I’m from, unless your in the Tahoe area. Other than that, it's definitely the Golden state for a reason.I shrug on my win...

No Pictures Please

CW: violence?The lavender scented bath calms me as I stir up the variety of flower petals that are floating in the water. My long dark hair is pulled into a long dark messy bun at the nape of my neck.Right where Dallas leaves his kisses all the time.I feel nervous as I reach over the gold lined bathtub to get my silver hand held mirror. I look at it, my eyes fixated on my own face.Narcissism isn’t a bad thing. It just means you like yourself more than others.I remember my mother telling me that when I was twelve, after I had spent an hour lo...

*Call Ended*

CW: languageI looked down while standing on the stage, in the theater wondering if I was okay. Come to the theater they said it'll be fun they said. But it didn't feel fun. Of course it didn't, it wasn't supposed to feel fun. The theater holds all your answers, my friends told me. Apparently they had been here before.  But does it really? I honestly didn't know what I was doing there. Standing around like an insane person, I guess.   I suddenly smelled the scent of freshly baked cookies. It was od...

Not COMPLETE strangers...

Note: This is a story I wrote after talking to a guy on Reedsy who seems really cool.CW: language“Macy, you can’t be skipping school.” my mother says as I get home. My parents are standing in the kitchen, waiting for me.My heart literally skips a beat. I didn't think they knew.No, no, no…“What are you talking about?”“We know Macy.”I bite my lip, as I always do when I’m nervous. It's my “tell”.I started skipping a while ago, after my boyfriend broke up with me. He’s in most of my classes and I decided that I didn't want to go to school a...

Yellow Wrapping Paper

Note: This was a quick story, I wrote this in my first few class periods, so it might still need work, and if it does, I'm so sorry.CW: LanguageAm I more than you bargained for yet?I've been dying to tell youAnything you wanna hear'Cause that's just who I am this weekLie in the grass next to the mausoleumI'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)Drop a heartAnd break a nameWe're always sleeping in, and sleepingFor the wrong teamWe're going down, down in an earli...

Chip 2.0

I have to admit, all the credit goes to Matt P. You are super cool.The beginning of this story is based on a story they wrote called “Mono e Mono.”It might not be anything like their story, but the beginning of “Mono e Mono” was really cool, so I thought maybe I would try it.By the way, this story is a bit confusing and really weird, but the ending (to me) is worth it. There isn't much detail, but then again, Chip 2.0 isn't a person, so it doesn't really see detail.This is also from a 2nd person point of view (kind of?) and I've only done a ...

September's Not The Same Place Now

Note: I’m not totally sure about 9/11 and everything that happened, but I tried. This is all fiction by the way. Enjoy!CW: Death, griefJames - 9-11-1 “Hey, Lana! It's good to see you!” I say, pulling my sister into a tight hug. She smiles slightly, her eyes empty.  Her husband died a few weeks earlier, and she was still grieving. I wouldn’t blame her. It's a normal process that we had been through two times before. Even then, it still hurts. I'm honestly glad that I didn't know her husband that well. They had got married when she gradua...

Elon Musk was right about Mars... /Part 1 of the "Space Billionaires Series/

“Listen…”I can’t move.Why can’t I move?“Jaylen. Calm down. You are safe here.” a man’s voice says from around me.As I calm myself, I take in my surroundings. I'm in a lighted coffin?“We are attempting to rescue you Jaylen. Once you are out, you must listen to my instructions to survive.”“No! NO! LET ME OUT!” I scream at the top of my lungs. The “Lighted Coffin” flashes red. “Loud noises detected. Set up a force field from outside?” a robotic voice askes.“Jaylen! Don’t say yes. Say no.” the man tells me.I think for a second. I don’t trus...

Dead Lies

I recommend that while reading this, you listen to the song “In the End” by Linkin Park.CW: DeathA pandemic. Something you can't stop. Something you can’t end. Unless everyone is gone. Unless everything disappears.No vaccine. Nothing to stop it. We might all be dead by the time this is over. Who knows. Nothing goes well with these things.And they can't do anything about it. Because they are scared. Something we all feel. Fear.Her eyes. All I see is death. All I see is fear.All I see is regret.Goodbye. This is for everyone I love. This is it....

Peace Tea and Love (Message)

Sorry I rewrote this :)Hey guys, I'm Jexica Marcell. Luke, - but if you don’t know him by that name - Litlover, inspired me.His messages mean something. They mean something to so many people. They mean something to me.1. - DownvotingSo I want you to understand something. Downvoting is NOT okay. Most of the time, it just hurts the person’s self esteem, because they think they aren’t good enough now. I would know, I’ve been downvoted a few times and it's not fun.But this isn’t about me. This is about everyone. This is ...
