Hi there. I know you. I know you are reading this. I know what you feel.
Β I'm inside you. Oh-oh no, no don't worry. I'm inside everyone. Do you know who I am? I suppose not. Oh well, not everyone is famous, are they?
Come on, try to guess who I am. You know. You know me. And I know you, we have known each other since birth. Yes, since birth. To speak of, everyone knows me. I know everyone.
I go by different names. You see, aliases. So that the good don't get me. But you, you are my favourite.Β You are my best piece of work. My masterpiece.
So, I'll tell you my aliases. You won't tell the good will you? No, because I control you.Β have powers to. Here we go.
DepressionΒ
Sadness
Anxiety
Peer PressureΒ
Low self-esteemΒ
No ConfidenceΒ
LonelinessΒ
And all the others.Β
Honestly, Depression and Anxiety are my favourite. It's so fun to make people cry. Shut themselves. Isolate themselves.Β Make them feel bad. Like they're worth nothing. Hehe. You'll understand later. Oh and the best part is when they give up on you.Β Hehe.
But you fought. Why? Why did you fight against me? You knew I'd win. I am made to win.Β
I met you first when you were Five. Yes, the day your mom died. That was fun. For me. I had a good feast. You shut up. You cried. Cried your heart out. In your pillow. You wept day and night. I actually felt sad for once. Yes. Me. It is sad to see a Five year old cry. Maybe the good finally found me. But then I laughed. At your foolishness.Β
I kept on whispering. In your ears. That she's gone. You'll never see her. She's dead. She didn't say goodbye. She didn't come in your dreams. She did nothing.Β
You heard me. But shut me out. Bad move. You ignored this for a year. Two. Four years. Then it flooded back to you. That she's freakin' dead. She will NEVER EVER come back. You turned 10. You learnt that your dad was smoking. He couldn't bear the loss. He went with his friends. Out. Everyday. Came back at 2 o'clock.Β
That's how you went into depression at 10 years of age. You had panic attacks. Your dad couldn't do anything. He passes out on the sofa. You lay there. Frozen. White foam coming out of your mouth.Β You lay there for a day. Then the maid came, and she saw you twitching your mouth in all directions.Β
She took you to the hospital and admitted you. She was a nice lady.Β But your dad, he didn't even apologize for not being there. So, you went into a coma. For 3 years.
You came out. At 14. Smoking took a toll on your dad. He had a heart attack. And, well, he too died. But this time you didn't cry. You didn't care. He was nothing to you. Not after what happened to mom. He didn't care about her. He didn't care about you. All he cared was for himself.Β Β
So, you went boarding. A very bad place. You entered "Your room" and saw a moth-eaten bedsheet on a disgusting bed with cigarette burns all over the bedsheets. The walls were rotting and the Mirror was covered with mold and black spots.Β
And according to Murphy's Law. "If something can go wrong, it will."Β
So, New rotten school = New rotten bully. Yeah. You got bullied, hurt because of this Noah kid. Good bully.Β
You see, I live in The Suddesion. Pain and Regret, my two assistants guard the door of Suddesion. The Suddesion is a universe.Β As you guess, it isΒ made up of Sadness and Depression. In your words " a black hole of sadness".Β
I grow more as you become more sad. I also emit sadness through bullies, bad luck, and other things. Then there are Stunbees. Yes, these Stunbees sting you. When they do. They stun you really bad. They are like animated creatures. They have long violent zig-zag shaped stripes. These stripes sting you.Β
For example, you have met a stunbee before. Everyone has. Like if you failed an exam, or got fired, or just got to know that your crush likes your friend. They always travel in threes.Β
A Year Laterβ¦Β
You stand at your Mother's grave thinking of your past. You are 15 now. Noah is in a mental asylum. His brain became distorted.Β It's your birthday today. But no one remembers. Then you hear a shuffle of feet. It's Noah. With a gun.Β Your head spin around, your vision is blurred and as you see the smile on his face widen you scream: "BOOM LIFE! I DIDN'T KILL MYSELF. ALL MY LIFE I FOUGHT THROUGH!"
Click, Click.Β
Shot.Β
You're dead.
On your birthday.Β
Happy Birthday
Authorβs note: This story was a little short so this note is gonna be long. Ignore if wanted. So umβ¦.. this is sad. Very sad. Sorry! π¬π¬
And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RHONDA!!!!Β Β

Helloujecdokmslx! I'm friends with Raquel irl, which is kind of how I found you. I also saw how high you were on the leaderboard! Nice. Anyways, about your story. I like how you went into sadness (Or just negativity in general)'s POV. It reminded me a little of the Book Thief (AMAZING book btw), which is in death's perspective. Also, I loved the note at the end, and the ugh's.

Hello Not Arcam, lolll ooh nice! Thanks sooo much!! I appreciate the time you took out to comment!

Hehe, Yeah! Thank uuuuuu!! You deserve upvoting. One day, I'm gonna get u on that top 10 leaderboard. π

This is so creative, Stacy. You had my attention right from the top with the questions directed at the reader. I think that technique is difficult to pull off, but you did it! I also think you told the story so well and from the perspective of the one who controls the negative emotions so well. Really super interesting - love the uniqueness!

Hey, You asked for a review, you will get a review. Here you go: --> THE TITLE ~ Cool! I really liked the creepiness in it (not, but, you get my point, right?) --> THE CHARACTER NAMES ~ There weren't many 'names' in it, but yeah, the ones which were there, like Noah, were pretty good. --> THE BEGINNING ~ Scary. Spooky. Abnormal. --> THE PLOT ~ It transited slowly yet at a fast pace. The metaphors and the 'deep' meaning was truly very well composed. --> THE ENDING ~ Not expected. It was good, (well, sad, but good) --> ANYTHING I LIKED/ DIS...

Yeah...it wasn't so difficult for me. I've a good eyesight. (looks at the laptop sheepishly, then giggles in her mind...)

Nice tho!! Lol
Reply
wow. That was a great opening line, ngl. drew me in until the end (which was rather fast lol). but it was sad, like...sad. now I'm being torn in two gosh. the second person perspective with a bit of first person was a nice mixture, and kinda made the story pop a bit. I think one of the main things that I found was that life can be hard sometimes, with that little thing always getting in the way, but it's if we choose to overcome that little thing (or not for some people...) that shapes us into who we are. anyways, a bit of tenses changing,...

Thanksss!! I really like this one, but I hate the ending :/ thanks a lottttttt

Ok, this story......it almost made me cry...almost...almost...oh dang it, WHO PUT THE ONIONS HERE- I loved this story and I mean really loved it....Although I think that perhaps lots of metaphors and imagery would make it even more better..I know you can't edit this anymore but well, for the future, I believe that when writing short sad stories, you need to reach out and wrench the reader's heart, and I believe it happens when you make the reader imagine what you're trying to say. Actually imagine that dark black dreary hole, from where you...

Haha, this was mah just started school, friend issues, crush issues, and depression period lol. Thanks so dang much Phila. You don't need to do this. You really don't. Thanks so freaking gid damn much <333 I've written one more like this one, if you'd want to read it, its really sad tho-

Lol, I understand, we all go through that phase but the thing is we need to shout up from that hole for people to help....otherwise....it might just become too serious... I do...I'm not letting ya leave just like that.. Yep, I'd love to read it...have you posted it here?
