...at night. I ran away because I knew I wasn't loved, but that innocent 8 year old half of me hoped and wished that one of my parents would come looking for me. On the 4th night I was cold, hungry and smelt appalling so I went to my mothers. She said I looked a state and asked me where I had been. I told her I had ran away from home for 4 whole days. She barely looked up from the TV to say 'presumed you were at your dads'.

I know there are people in the world far worse off than me. But it's my life that's been *#%@# up by the people who brought me into this world. I am bitter. And there's nothing I can do about it now. No-one will give me a second chance, no-one will see past my bare CV, no-one will realise what I really feel. Until they read this.

So when someone finds me, however long that will be... Please could you inform my mother and father that I am no longer a reminder of their mistakes. I guess there are two sides to the story but... They are free. And so am I.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
