ways autistic traits impact my daily life #1 First, a disclaimer. A therapist of mine brought up that I might have autism. However, we never made any attempt to get an official diagnosis.

January 29th, 2022/I got upset with this one
Today’s Prompt: How are you changing the world? After several hours of considering this prompt, I discovered how upset I was with the expectation to change the world.

Cory’s Story: tell the timeless waters

Hi. How are you doing? Do you have a name? Ventriloquist. My name’s Cory. How are you doing? I feel so…alone. I have news for you, then. We’re part of a system.

Cory’s Story: for all the lonely alters
The evidence of pain pulsed across the body, like paint stains. Cory came to, skin stinging, surrounded by shards of metal scattered across rocks. Dull red rocks. He groaned. And stopped groaning, from the shock of the body’s young, girlish voice. Cory pushed himself up, blinking against glimmering sunlight, shoving aside sharp rocks so theyContinue reading “Cory’s Story: for all the lonely alters”
