This is one of my first exercises at a writing class as well as more of a short story, through Writer's Studio. It was a lot of help with fresh ideas, and learning many styles of writing. I hope you enjoy it, and please be honest about your critiques. So that I will continue improving, and do some editing along the way.
Also there are other short stories as well from my literture class as a self-bio pieces. Some poetic, some are snippets of memories.
I'll probably reorganize the chapters a little later, so if it's confusing at first, I'll fix it soon, you don't have to wait though, since each is like it's own seprate piece.
Here' the excerise (aka.preamble) that sparked the idea:

Preamble: Creating a first-persona narrator that is based on a younger version of myself. A specific moment in my life; age, setting, and season. Try to reveal something about the narrator; wishes, desires, hurts, and conflicts. Focus on technique and the freedom the voice gives you. Think about the tone of my narrator, not so much mood, but how to separate the two of them.
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Penny, Penny Hopkins. I believe my parents chose that name because that's just about how much I was worth to them. Look, the bottom line is this, I'm about to tell you my story, but I want you to have a clear understanding as to how cynical life has forced me to become. I trust no one. In my twenty-four years on this God forsaken planet, I have come to learn the hard way that everyone is motivated by their own self-interest.
And now, just like the devout atheist at death's door, questioning, perhaps even hoping God exist, I find myself in a similar conundrum regarding love. I was so sure that I would be too clever to fall into such an absurd emotion. I built the walls so high, and so thick I was absolutely certain they were impenetrable.
But now, due to unforeseen circumstances my icy heart has began to melt. I had a five-year plan, this was definitely not in it. Everything was all figured out, my life was exactly how I wanted it to be, but then suddenly life throws that unexpected curve ball.
So it's been a while.. a long while. But tonight I had such a profound experience I just had to write it down and share it with you. This is a poem about my loneliness, and how I relish in it. I don't always do, but tonight I did.
Arisa a doll with no sight,is alone in a abandoned house.Every full moon her soul comes out and dance a dance of sadness.But,a girl who dares enter the mansion saw Arisa dance.What would happen next?Will Arisa be broken forever or will the girl be the one that's broken?
This book is about a family of werewolves. The main charactr is the son, Rhonny. When he is 10, his parents send him off to find food for this for that night at the lake. When he returns, his family has vanished. He assumes that it was the fault of the apes, who have been scheming to get rid of the werewolf species for a long time. Therefore, Rhonny has to survive alone. .
Alone doesn't always have to be a bad thing, does it?
