Ah yes, the monster responsible for terrorising & traumatising untold numbers of kids makes an exception for one kid, truly heartwarming.

I think maybe one of those semicolons was used correctly
DrSparken
I counted three in total and one that was used questionably, but all justifiable.
woopwooppulloverdatasstoofat
people think that using semicolons makes them appear smarter but it usually just does the exact opposite. just use a fking comma
NotAmused1001
I think for a writer, they need to study punctuation past the 4th grade level.

Something about the wholesome tag on a story that is obviously about a child that has probably been molested multiple times,feels wrong

I'm not saying the result is bad, but including the twist and outline in the prompt is like "write this for me". It's way too specific.
TGWeaver
A better prompt would just be sentence #1 by itself. Adding sentence #2 pares down the creative flexibility a lot. By #3 it's locked down.
somenerandom
The plot twist is in no way included in the prompt. I don't think you're using "twist"right. Prompt does that prompts do- it paints a >
somenerandom
scenario and lets people develop it. The broad "kid won't scare, boss going himself" could've gone many different ways.
TGWeaver
My point is a prompt is meant to be a much broader general concept. Sentences 2 and 3 refine this point further and further, needlessly.
TGWeaver
1 by itself could have created all kinds of stories, including this one (quite easily, too -- it's a very obvious conclusion for the prompt)

I assume she's an orphan and is in foster care.

By god I will have that snake and I will have it thrive and breed in captivity if I have to sell my soul to hell to do so. Boelens are such

gorgeous fucking snakes.

I’m an eastern indigo fan myself. Had mine for almost 10 years now.

You have a permit I assume? They're extirpated from my state.
dirtyketchup
You need one to cross line in my state, but I’m not required if I purchase from a breeder in state.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Ahh reasonable. They aren't federally endangered or anything, just have a reduced range. Completely gone from Alabama though.

Wow, why/how did so many people have abusive parents as children?! You okay?

Im ok now. Its was my moms boyfriends sadly. Years of alcohol abuse, 3 rehab stays and extensive therapy. I survived. Thank you for caring.
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
What a bunch of abhorrent beasts. I hope your mom just didn't know. You should be proud of yourself for getting through it and getting help♡

I told her once when I was 7. She didn't believe me and said it was probably just a dream. I didn't say a word about it again until I was 25

I'm sorry you experienced that, no child should ever subjected to such BS. If you ever want to vent/unwind, feel free to PM me any time ♡

In life or at the moment? Haha. I'm not okay right now but it will pass. Thank you, that's so kind of you. I hope you're doing okay :)

Maybe isn't under your bed, maybe is taking the same class you do, or going at the gym. We all have a monster who take care of us, somewhere

This pains me to no end! Having two daughters (and a son), I just can't understand how anyone could purposefully hurt a child...

It's not hard. They are tiny and don't hit back.
dorkowastaken
Yay good parental base! But why the parenthetical son? Boys need love and affection too. I love my son and daughter to bits =D son's a softy
capughe
Maybe just because the story is specifically about a girl. But yeah, we need to remember boys are vulnerable and need protection too.

True, I think I may have subconsciously related it specifically to this story, but definitely agree.
