The Dress that was Armor
“That’s my favorite dress of yours, Katie. You look so pretty,” my dad said as he smiled down at me. He ruffled my hair, and I did a little twirl in my brand-new jean dress. He made me feel pretty, and special. My mother bought me this blue jean dress; the dress was long and had silver buttons that went all the way down the front. I loved it, it made me feel so grown up. My father loved it, and that made it even more special.

I've had PTSD. Honorable Mention in I Wrote This Challenge. Top Story - June 2025. Content Warning.
PTSD is flooring me at the moment, making me feel a bit insane, whilst detached AND over-emotional. It's the first time I've experienced it fully as an 'entity' in probably twenty years. I feel separated from myself, whilst also fully logical. It's a strange sensation. It's frightening. I'm frightening myself.

Not All Readers Start with Books Not every reader begins with a page. Some start with a video. Others, with a meme. For an entire generation raised on TikTok humor and YouTube deep-dives, reading isn't always the first instinct—it’s the afterthought, if at all. But what if stories could meet young audiences where they already are?

Inanimate Love Letters Challenge Winners
Dear Author Behind the Object, Y'all did great. Signed, The Author Behind the Post ~~~ Homies!! Wow! When I first decided to host this challenge I honestly didn't have much expectation. While I have many subscribers, I have very few readers. Even the bots don't drop by that often (a blessing?). So, when I released this challenge, I was expecting maybe like 2 entries. But instead, you gave me 11 damn good letters.
