the ghosts of our past | a short story (?) ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ: 1766 words тɪмε: 10+ days, 6 - 10 hours :P ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ ᴛɪᴍᴇ: 4 - 6 minutes мυѕι¢: øneheart x reidenshi - snowfall ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ navigation: arrow keys, space, click / press ❝i love you like the stars love the sky❞ ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ 2018. something about estrella's life changed when her mother died seven years ago. she didn't know exactly what, or perhaps it was many things, but she could feel it in the air. sometimes, she heard voices -- saw things that other people didn't. sometimes she wondered if her mental health was okay. but every single day, she wished for the past to come back, for relief from what had happened -- not knowing that there was hope, that what she wanted was just around the corner . ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ hey guys i'm sorry about the 3 (?) month inactivity i really am. believe it or not, i was still writing, js lacking the courage to post it on scratch. i don't know why, but everytime i write smth, i develop this fear of it being plagiarized and thus unable to be shared with others. which was why i didn't share much those past few months. (if i did, it'd be 5 more projects :P) anyways, i talked myself into sharing this one, so if y'all find anything copywrited, just lmk & i'll be happy to fix it :) here's the deal about the actual story: i thought up the plot for this when i had a really high fever somewhere in early december. my head was hurting and i was feeling really bad. then i suddenly thought of a castle on a hill & the story surrounding it. the problem? the damned plot was too long -- and i like to waste my words. so this’ll be the first part of a potential short story series. but i don't feel like writing the next parts just yet so you guys will be getting other content (i promise i'll post more this year) AND estrelle means "stars" and caelan means "sky." which is why the quote is there :) also. i am very ashamed of this writing piece. it's horrible (at least in my opinion). & i think i also screwed up the dialogue REALLY BAD i'm socially awkward :'[ finally, i'd like to say that i've been reading the heroes of olympus rn bc i feel like one of the characters is giving hazel levesque rising up from the dead vibes. so yea. pretty cool ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ inspo - @ap0l0: slides code inspiration : thumb code , , : desc inspiration ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ read my other short stories (for a similar vibe) - one last time: the tears i've shed: déjà vu [already seen]: ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ quotev version: https://www.quotev.com/story/16882949/the-ghosts-of-our-past-a-short-story/1 ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━⚜━━━━━━━━━━━━ © theoddity 16th january 2025
