One-twenty-six-o-clock on a chilly autumn morning, a shadow sat in front of a brownstone house's staircase with the laptop light beaming at an innocent face with thick-rimmed glasses. Sipping a warm cup of tea as it's stares deep into New York City's starless abyss. Finally, front lights turned on, revealing the shadow of a fair skinned, shorthaired bedhead-style with a sharp-jawline young woman in her early 20s, lost in a deep thought. Suddenly interrupted by a voice.
A childhood friend of mine inspired me to write this story about her traumatic childhood experience. Since she has been separated from her parents for basically her whole life, she have suffered from severe depression and breakdowns throughout her whole life. When I was writing this piece, all I could think about is how must have been painful for her growing up like that. I would like to include this piece on the final portfolio for this course and would revise it in a way where the ending would be mysterious and extend the story, add a few twist. I've wrote several short stories in my previous English writing courses and what I learned about vignettes or any creative non-fiction you basically make your own rules. It's my story, I could manipulate it however you like. I first started off writing with my smartphone and later transfered my thoughts down on my computer.
