“Dear Future Me” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #146

*A/N: I just read The Fault in Our Stars...leave me alone lol.* The day she died, I knew I was a lost soul. The moment the last breath left her body, I knew that it was going to be a long time before I loved people again. The second she left, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart, and then nothing. Absolutely nothing. *** I graduated high school with ...

“I Promised” by Pippin Took

*Hey guys!! I wrote this for fun out of nowhere, so sorry if it's not great. I wanted to share it with someone because I'm proud of how much my writing skills have grown in the last year since joining Reedsy. Enjoy!*Alina pulled her sheathed sword off the wall and strapped it to her side. She then put on her cloak; which was rich red and had gold trim on the hem, and tied back her hair into one long, dark braid. A few stray hairs were already escaping the tight binding of her hairdo. Alina then exited her sma...

“STOP DOWNVOTING!” by Pippin Took

*Copied from Amethyst*Dear Reedsy,I've emailed you endless and endless times, however, you ignored.

“I Wish I Could Love You (PG-13)” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #99

Trigger Warning: parental abuse, mention of mature themesI wanted to love you freely. I really did. But I can’t. I can’t.  Melanie Stevens sits on the old shag rug in her run-down house. She clutches a photograph covered in her oily fingerprints. The picture is of a boy, and on the back of the picture is a name scrawled in black pen. Henry. They met last year, and Henry fell in love with her. Melanie wants so badly to be able to love him back, but her parents hate hi...

“On the Failure of Humans” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #98

Maydon is a beautiful place, Faye thought. It’s paradise. Maydon, the smallish island Faye lived in, was gorgeous. It was full of lush, emerald jungle trees, beautiful fog in the mornings. Red, gold, pink, and blue sunsets painted the skies every night. The golden sands were soft on your feet when you walked, as Faye did now. Brightly colored flowers peeked out from the undergrowth, and the animals were elusive and not at all dangerous. The years passed by slowly here for Faye, locked awa...

“All She Had Were The Stars Pt. 2” by Pippin Took

Celeste Celeste was looking out the window in Leonardo’s spare bedroom. Leonardo had brought her to the city. It was called Charleston, he’d said.  It was late now, for the sun had long gone to bed. The city was glittering like stars. There was a strange emotion filling Celeste’s heart. She didn’t recognize it as much. But then she stirred through her vague memories and figured it out.

“All She Had Were The Stars” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #96

CelesteShe was sleeping, sleeping in her mind. She was alone. No one loved her, no one knew she existed. All she had were the stars. Celeste sat on the cliff, overlooking the ocean. The waves were pounding against the rocks, frothing up like spittle. She pretended the cliff was hers, that it was hidden by the scraggly trees. But it wasn’t her own. Sometimes she saw the grass matted down by footsteps. Or saw a glimpse of russet hair. Celeste wanted to see who the fascinating russet ...

“Howling Wind” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #96

*Author’s Note: Xenia, Ohio, is a real place. I’m kinda using a metaphor here, enjoy* April 3rd, 1974 4:30 p.m. I sit on the porch swing, playing with a yo-yo. I got home from school an hour or so ago, and a bad storm is brewing. I go to Xenia High School in Ohio. Suddenly, a short figure walks up to me. My face relaxes into a grin. “Hey, what’s up?” I say to Amy, my best friend.

“I Can Feel the Ghosts” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #96

Patty sat with her glasses perched on the bridge of her nose, reading Pride and Prejudice. She was immersed fully in reading, and though she’d read it several times in her long life, she wasn’t sure what to do with all the time on her hands. She’d recently retired, and though she liked not working, it was very different.  Outside snow was falling heavily, the thick, wet kind of snow that squished unpleasantly when...

“I Need You More Than I Thought I Did” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #94

Trigger Warning: kidnapping, violence Claire I run into Jack’s arms, hugging him tightly. “Hello!” I say, looking into his deep grey eyes. They always remind me of storm clouds, but not in a bad way.  Jack is my best friend. We’ve been friends for 12 years, since we were 5 years old. People always make fun of us, singing that ridiculous “K-I-S-S-I-N-G” song, but Jack alway...

“Cleaning Up Sucks” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #93

Jenny slams the door shut, collapsing on the couch. I look at her, smirking. “You weren’t always the type to get worn out after parties, Jenny.” I say, picking at a hangnail. She glares at me, or tries to, but her bright green eyes are dull with drowsiness. “Shut up, Vivian. It’s been a while since I’ve hosted a party. God, and we still have to clean up.” she groans. “Let’s go to bed. We can clean up tomorrow.” I reply, pulling off my dress and bra and throwing on some nightclothes. “Okay.” Jenny puts o...

“The Fourth Race PT. 4” by Pippin Took

Submitted to Contest #89

When she woke up the next morning, Evangeline had a plan. She could feel it buzzing around in her brain like a bee. She shook Anwel and said “Anwel. Wake up! I have a plan!” Anwel, being an Elf, woke up immediately and was alert. “What?” “Well, remember where the Inugami came out of the hole? It’s not too far from here…” Anwel blinked. “You want to raid an Inugami stronghold?” “Yes.” “You are a piece of work. But let’s do it. It could be useful. We’d hopefully find their motive.”...

“The Fourth Race PT. 3” by Pippin Took

Evangeline and Anwel were now, undoubtedly, allies. For out of spite came alliances, and out of anger came kindness.  Unconsciously, they had shifted to looking behind their backs, but they both knew they weren’t doing it for themselves. They’d softened into setting up camp without saying a word, them each knowing exactly what the other would do.  Within a few days, they’d be out of the Turrey Woods and ...

“The Fourth Race PT. 2” by Pippin Took

As Evangeline trekked through the Hummingbird Grove, the woods of her home, she felt a pit in her stomach. Was this really a good idea?  When dusk approached, she was only 5 miles away from the 70 mile long Turrey Woods. She climbed a big willow tree and fell asleep on a fork after tying herself on with a bit of rope. When she awoke, she felt disoriented, because she didn’t know where she was. And then ...
