Beginnings

Welcome to this page dedicated to "shorts" that I wrote. In summary, each of the links below will take you to something I've written. I was sagging in creativity back in junior year of high school so I decided to write a short "beginning" every day. Each link below is the beginning to a story. They don't have middles or ends, only beginnings. Most of them don't have titles either, only the days on which I did them, so I'll include a brief plot summary afterwards. Enjoy!
