TW:// PHYSICAL ABUSE AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE Note: To understand the timeline, consider the following: her past is in italics her present is in normal letters My ears are ringing. I could feel the pain spreading through my body rapidly. The glass shards below me were piercing my skin, and even though I knew I was bleeding, I couldn’t move.  My father had a job that required our family to move around a lot, so it came as no surprise to me the day he told me to pack up as we were out on th...

“And Then There Where the Stars Between Us” by Kemani Grey

Authors note// hello everyone! my first author’s note! Just felt the need to address that there are a lot of borrowed quotes in this story, so I’ll be mentioning the magnificent writers below so you can check out their work. Enjoy! Looking at the old couple in the choked up crowded coach of this part of the train, I picture us becoming like them. I did that before. I still do it now.

“Kissing A Lie” by Kemani Grey

Submitted to Contest #70

I knew exactly how things were going to end; I knew the trap I was setting for myself. I should have backed out when I had my suspicions, but I didn’t. I let it play on like a long-lasting movie. A videotape, forever to keep rolling. Now I stared at a blank screen, the suspense and thrill of the story gone. The truth’s exposed. I could feel the room turning and my sanity seeping from me. I was on dangerous grounds. I was at the gates of hell. Or at least I felt like I was. I hadn’t done a bad thing, so said the crooked, misshapen society...
