Psychological
Trespassers Will Be Persecuted . Content Warning.
You shouldn’t have come here. Really, it was a bad idea out of the gate, but you’re here, so come on. In for a penny, in for a pound. Watch your head under that low beam. Eavesdropping is one thing, but this is pure spying. The things you will witness in this place you’ve trespassed into are none of your business. You’re violating me by the simple act of being present. Don’t expect to be forgiven or shown any mercy whatsoever. You forfeited your right to those when you took it upon yourself to pick through my private thoughts.

Aurelius Ascends (part 3)
At first, the crew thought that what was likely happening to their craft right now was nothing more than a minor navigational anomaly, a glitch, as they had begun sensing a very subtle gravitational tug over the last hour, something that all of the crew, apart from one absent member, had been starting to feel as a slowly growing vibration through the underside artificial gravity plating areas, which , while this would certainly account for the sudden ‘light spring in their steps,’ it was definitely not one that could have explained away the navigational gremlins they were experiencing with their shipwide instrumentation panels though.

An Adventure in Succinctness: A Four-story Micro Fiction Collection
Introduction to a New Genre Once upon a time in the late 90s, I picked up a book that had a profound influence on me. It was a short anthology with a tad over 100 pages. However, within the book there were 101 stories that were 56 words in length, but each carried the impact of a full-length novel. In addition, they ran the gamut of being funny, sad or terrifying.

Broken: An Abuse Survivor's Tale💜Part 1. Content Warning.
This story was written a year ago on a different platform, but I uploaded it here a while back. I felt insecure about the story as it was a very...specific kind of tale, so I ended up deleting it. Well, since then, I have grown a lot as a writer, and I don't feel those insecurities anymore. Enjoy!

The Last Tag-along
You were warned to stay home and told not to follow Ryan when he left. He said he was going somewhere a little sister shouldn’t tag along, so you should just help Mom with some baking and catch a movie on HBO tonight. It hurt your feelings to hear him say this, because normally he took you everywhere.

Presumption of a Bold Girl
Think of the 1960s, a time of racial tension and riots in the streets. Your school has lockdowns with police stationed at the doors. You see the Disciples motorcycle gang roll up outside the school. You know they are a feared biker gang of black riders, and that they came from Chicago to see what’s up in your little town. Your small town is five miles up the road from the State Penitentiary, where you assume some of their buddies currently reside. You watch as they slowly circle the high school on their bikes, just observing. You wonder if they are silently daring the police to come at them - to cross the line. Imagine your fear of them as an impressionable high schooler - you don’t know violence except in movies like Easy Rider, Hells Angels on Wheels , and The Born Losers .
