Here’s a short story I wrote about a 13-year-old Transgender girl. I based it off a writing prompt; please tell me in the comments what you think!

Another Vignette: Parker (Age 13)
This is another scene from one of my manuscripts, the project is a epistolary novel made up of emails exchanged between Libby, a college dropout, and a 13-year-old boy with Asperger’s named Parker (for a scene focusing on Libby, click here.) I myself have Asperger’s and I put some of my own experiences into the character.

Character Vignette: Parker (Age 13)
This is another scene from one of my manuscripts, the project is a epistolary novel made up of emails exchanged between Libby, a college dropout, and a 13-year-old boy with Asperger’s named Parker (for a scene focusing on Libby, click here.) I myself have Asperger’s and I put some of my own experiences into the character.
Short Story: Vampire Boy by Sarah W.
Note: This story is not fantasy/horror. It’s another realistic vignette following the childhood experiences of Warren Cowell, a character I wrote who’s 34 in the main manuscript but 13 in this story. This is set on Halloween (because I’m just feeling out-of-season) and portrays an oddball kid in good ol’ dysfunctional suburbia, circa 1997. There is some non-PC language which is meant for the purpose of realism and doesn’t reflect the feelings of the writer.

Excerpt from Manuscript; Libby #1
This is an excerpt from a manuscript I wrote about an online friendship between a college dropout and a 13-year-old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. It’s written in epistolary format and this scene is told from the young woman (the college drop-out)’s perspective.
Short Story: Weirdo by Sarah W.
Like my story With Families Like These…, this about a character from one of my manuscripts when he was younger. The character in this story, Danny, is in his early 20’s in the manuscript but here he’s 14-year-old outsider suffering from undiagnosed mental issues. I know this is a little on a long side but feedback and comments would be much appreciated. 🙂
Short Story: Toxicity by Sarah W.
This is another story I wrote about one of my personal favorite fictional characters I’ve written, Warren. This one takes place when he’s fourteen and it’s about his unhealthy relationship with an older guy.
TW: Statutory Rape, Sexual Coercion, Homophobia
Daycare: A Short Story
This story is based on one of the very first dreams I can remember having, a nightmare from when I was probably about four. I replaced myself as a toddler with a little boy named Jonathan, but the I tried to capture the feeling of helplessness and of being ignored by adults who dismissed my fear (which in the nightmare, was obviously warranted) as being a child’s ridiculous antics. The story is a bit horror-ish, but it’s more about the fears and insecurities of childhood.
Excerpt from Manuscript; Hazel #3
As always, you can read this story without reading #1 or #2 and still get the gist. In this short excerpt from the latest manuscript I finished, a woman struggles with the day-to-day dramas of raising her two kids with little to no help from her abusive husband. Her son is probably mildly on the autistic spectrum, but he grew up before kids started getting diagnosed like crazy so he’s merely considered to be ‘odd.’-
Excerpt from Manuscript; Hazel #2
TW: Bullying and sexual harassment
You don’t have to read my first story about this character to understand the new one, and they’re set about twenty years apart. However, if you do want to read the first one I posted, click HERE. In this short excerpt, a middle-aged, pious woman goes all mother bear when she feels her oddball son is being mistreated at school. If anybody reads this, I hope they like it and I’d love to hear what they think! 🙂
