Short Stories

About

In this sections are short stories that I've written for writing contests. They vary in length and some documents may even have poems instead of short stories, some will even have both. They are all written at different points in time which also means different levels of skill, so be sure to keep that in mind, especially for the formatting of some of them. I hope you enjoy them.

So 'Particles' is a piece written for the summative of my Writer's Craft class. Here is the prompt for it that I had written on the spot:

So it’ll be a trio of students going to inspect an abandoned village that went down due to a civil war that broke out between the townspeople's which was caused by a secret chemical overload done by the school which no one was told about and the students were sent there to gather information for a report for class since the teacher who assigned it had no clue it was the school’s fault and was just genuinely curious and while the students are in the village, one of their powers begin to act up, causing them to set aflame and reveal little particles of the past chemicals which are commonly found in their school but before they can get out of the village in time, one of them goes missing and soon found dead on the ceiling of a house with a mountain of dead bodies below them that look as though their blood was poured out of them for some sort of experiment.
