I have been writing online since 2016. As a result, I have quite the few short stories listed below! They’re all from different parts in my writing journey and I hope you enjoy.

Satan is Gay - This is the most controversial short story I’ve ever written. I will say that I don’t agree with the use of the word “homosexual” in the prompt, but I stand by the story itself.
algebra is honestly funzies when you know what youre doing it’s like a puzzle that you feel smart for solving. however when you don’t know what you’re doing it becomes a challenge called who can turn into a feral dog and bite things fastest and brother i always win
Nothing more embarrassing than accidentally using a big word wrong because now I’m simultaneously both stupid and pretentious, the worst combination of all time
Studying iridescence on one of my favorite animals, the rock dove. Don’t ever speak poorly of the rock dove in my vicinity. I WILL fight you 😤

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, “hm, this doesn’t look thick enough. maybe i’ll let it go for another 10 minutes.” this is the devil speaking. it’s only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
The same goes for cookies! The cookies might not look ready yet but they are!!
On the subject about parents needing to control their child’s reading and invade their privacy in order to “protect” them from “inappropriate material:
Until I was in….college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.
My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature.”
She respected my privacy in room, didn’t go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn’t know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn’t want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn’t care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.
And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn’t stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.
And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.
If she said she didn’t think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.
She didn’t need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.
Controlling kids is never about “protecting” them. It’s just about control.
