An Angel With No Voice-- This is a sudden idea that popped into my head just before I fell asleep the other day and it is still kind of shaky. Aniela is a mute who, at one point, didn't belong to that classification. A horrific car crash she, her mother, and her father were involved in left her and her father hospitalized for a long period of time. While she lost her ability to speak from a brain injury, her father walked away with a permanent stiffness in his walk, his spinal cord effected the most by the crash. Her mother was lucky, but all three of them were lucky to walk away. Luck seemed to be on their side. What's losing your voice compared to your life? However, things seem to go a bit more downhill from that point. The small family moves to Columbus, Georgia (location may change) where they buy a small house and get settled in. Her parents set up her room in the attic of the home, telling her it's simply because the house truly is small with only a master bedroom and one spare, the spare serving as her father's office. She doesn't mind. But after a few weeks she finds her freedom slowly vanishing as her parents become even more distant, yet stricter. At nine years old she doesn't really question it. She behaves and stays in her attic room entertaining herself with toys and books she quickly grows fond of, lounging around the rest of the house most of the time as well. As she gets older her freedom continues to reduce and she finds herself only coming out of the attic to shower, eat, or do her laundry. Her parents avoid her more. She wonders why. Are they ashamed? Could they really be ashamed of their daughter's inability to speak? Now, at sixteen, freedom and the world beyond her window become much more interesting than her small book piled attic room, and she thinks of what it would be like outside of her small universe. She also thinks of how she'll be able to cope.

Blind Intention-- This one was originally an assignment for my Creative Writing class. The version I have on here is an edited version because I rushed the assignment version. It still kind of unnerves me though...Aurora has agreed to tutor a guy around her age failing Trig, but seeing as he's blind with a bad attitude, she finds the task to be a bit more difficult. As if the huge mansion of a house he lives in, his mother, and his unseeing glares aren't enough, when he opens his mouth it only makes her job harder. Connor's the newly blind guy who now has to put up with Aurora's tutoring. But he doesn't plan on actually going along with it.
