“The Most Important Part of Me” by Kris 🖤

Submitted to Contest #61

Trigger warning: suicide   Chloe Ward, You’re Invited! Class of 2008 Liberty High School 10 Year Reunion June 22nd, 2018, 6 PM   5:32 PM I sit at my kitchen table, fiddling with the invitation in front of me. For months now, those bold words have leapt off the page to accost me each time I passed the small table in my apartment’s entryway. When it first came in the mail, I couldn’t even ...

“New York City, or perhaps Nowhere, 3 AM” by Kris 🖤

Submitted to Contest #59

New York City, Fall 2019, 3 AM.It's the middle of the night, but Friday rages on. Many already stumble through the streets, heels dangling from their fingers, arms retreating into their bodies to fight off the cold on their barefoot trek home. Others dance on, skin gleaming with sweat, pressed tight against each other. But that's not why we're here. We focus our attention upon a very different scene.Our subject is ten stories up, staring at the stars from her perch on an escape ladder. She's wrapped in dark sweats...

“The Day My Dreams Died” by Kris 🖤

Submitted to Contest #57

Where… am I?The world swirls around me. Am I seated? Standing? Outside? Inside? When my head finally clears, I’m able to answer at least a couple of those questions. I seem to be in an unfamiliar apartment. A cheap one, at that, based on the decor. The couch I’m seated on is too firm and clashes with the chair in one corner.

Author bio

Hey, I'm Kris! Updated 5/18/21 Long time, no see! TL;DR I took a break bc I was going to do NaNo & then life got hectic with a move & new job so I'm trying to get back into a writing routine. Hopefully I’ll be back soon with a new short story, but if not, I’m (hopefully) busy working on my long-form projects! -- I'm pretty new to Reedsy- I've been struggling to write lately, and I thought writing for submission/contests would help me finally get some words on the page! I'm here because I'd like feedback to help me grow as a writer, so I welcome any feedback you want to throw at me! (please don't be mean just for the sake of it, though...) Apart from writing, I spend most of my time watching YouTube, reading, video editing, gaming, listening to KPop, & learning Korean. 배움을 멈추지 마라 🖤 My comments/feedback on others' stories are largely positive due to my lack of confidence in my own knowledge of writing craft, but if I *do* leave a positive comment, know that it's genuine, or else I wouldn't leave it! ^^
