Content warning: sexual violence, languageWhen I was four years old, my sister and I were messing around at the pool. I slipped and hit my head on the concrete. It split open in the back. I remember the lifeguard gave me a squishy ball to squeeze. I remember she said I could keep it. I remember my dad scooped me up in his arms. It doesn’t make sense that it happened this way, but I remember he carried me all the way to the emergency room. I remember the pressure of my face pressing into a pillow as the doctor staple...
Outstanding reviews
Audrey, congrats on the win girl. I loved this piece. I saw where in the comments you mention talking about ugly things being a necessity. I want you to know that resonated with me deeply. There is no healing for the things we keep in the dark. Powerful writing, thank you.
This was amazing so captivating. good job.
Hello Audrey, I love your writing style!The setting, the story, the characters and the way in which you tell everything is so amazing.I was at first intrigued by the title, and went on to read and I. Just. Can't. Stop. Reading.This is, amazing, beyond words, other-worldly amazing. Keep up the good work and keep winning gurl! Love, Naya.P.S. You've also gotten a new like, comment and follower!
Naya captured it perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done with this. It is not the style of story I would choose to read and the fact that I was irresistably drawn in speaks volumes for the excellence of the work.
Wow, that is a big compliment. I completely understand why this genre would not be for everyone, and I am beyond flattered to hear that it transcended your usual taste. Thank you!!
You're welcome. It does puzzle an innocent Brit, however, why your story elicited such a vehement theological commentary in the discussion. Bible Belt, I suppose. Least said the better.
Audrey, this is WONDERFUL! I was drawn in with the first paragraph and didn't stop reading. It's sad and poignant and has me rooting for a happy future for your MC. Well done and CONGRATS!
Thank you so, so much Karen!! I knew I wanted to communicate a sad story, but I worried about skirting too close to downright depressing as it's definitely a fine line. I am glad to hear that you are left with hope for her, as I imagine her having a happy future, too. :)
Congrats!!! 👏
The end left me just amazed!!!!
WOW. 👏🏼
Thank you!
An amazing story. Great job and congratulations.
So many feels. I enjoyed reading this though the ending brought a tear to my eye, as it should have. Congrats
This was so beautifully made. I understand the topic is deep and sad, but the elegance in writing it is just stunning. I don't typically enjoy reading certain stories like this, but your story is truly captivating.
Congrats on the win - deep, dark, and dramatic - once you start reading gets you hooked - the characters feel alive - your story is set in the real world and could be an autobio for many young women unfortunately - there is a good balance of despair and hope and it was the hope that keeps you reading - I've read your other story too and that was good also - this is one is definitely more rounded - well done
it was good and congrats for the win girl you do more stories itt was very detailed
This is heartbreaking with so many hints along the way of a not so good an outcome. Mothers and daughters vs fathers and daughters. Sad that the concrete featured at the beginning and the end but skilful. Very touching.
This was a captivating read! Not my prefered genre for fiction but I enjoyed it tremendously, especially the mirror of beginning and end! Great job and congrats!
Wow, I really liked your story, congrats on the win :)
Congratulations on your win! This was a very emotional piece. I was unsure at first, but I could not stop reading. Well done!
It hurts to read this. You write it well. It’s too close to the bone to be superficial. Will follow you Audrey girl. Way to go.
This was so good, and congrats on the win. Well deserved.
Thank you for sharing your art, creativity, emotion, and expressions. The last line I reread more than twice. 👏🏼 Relatable content in many ways for me. Family, friends, guys, inner voice. Youth. Thanks again. Cool milestone to win!!
Wow that ending. Amazing work. Congrats on the win!
Congratulations on the win! I love the connection between the beginning and the end. It really rounds up the story well!
