Perpetis Stream

A girl returns to local conservation land again and again as she grows up, wrestling with her own emotions and relationships with others. Join her as she learns what the supposed healing power of nature can really do. To give you a sense of the length, this story is 8 pages when in a google doc. I have very little writing experience, and I tried to add some symbolism and other deeper information in this piece. Please feel free to give feedback and say what you found in it!

Overcoming Bloodlust Part 2

This is the second installment of my first work Overcoming bloodlust. As always constructive criticism is always appreciated and welcomed! Only one more installment after this one.

Overcoming bloodlust Part 1

This is my first story as an aspiring writer. It tells the story of a young werewolf named Max. In this world, werewolves are plagued by something called bloodlust. Every full moon they are shut out of all control of their bodies and are forced to watch the slaughters they commit. Eating their friends if not controlled. Just recently Werewolves have been integrated into society but every time they go through their bloodlust they are heavily drugged to the point by hospitals to prevent any slaughtering. Max is just now learning that he as a firstborn, can escape this horrible fate through meditation and self-control. A story of redemption and overcoming inner demons. Any constructive criticism is always appreciated!!
