This is a departing from my usual genre of science and horror based fiction - a confessional in a sense, an almost entirely un-embellished recounting from my childhood.
Wow! Incredibly well etched memories of some rough experiences of childhood among some rough people. Each of these anecdotes is a story in itself that could form several stories in a book.
thank you for reading The Bully and taking time to comment. Its the best reward for a writer isnt it!
it wasn't my intention to write any non fiction but this was a submission to the writing club that i am in and the prompt was "your school days" and I couldn't turn it into sci fi or horror! I found it carthartic to confess the guilt of my worst childhood memories and realised there were a lot of abuses of all kinds, all around me.
This is worth exploring and writing more fully for many reasons. And clearly it was swimming right beneath the surface waiting to be asked out so it could tell us these stories. I hope you will write them more fully. All the best!!!
This is one great autobiographical piece. I felt like I was right there with you, felt your shame and your powerlessness. Thanks for sharing it with me!
