My main style of writing is poetry, so I may also put some poetry here if it corresponds to a character specifically! That's why I'm calling this a "writing gallery" instead of just one shots. Hopefully this page will soon be bustling with stories of my characters and their shenanigans! And if you feel like taking a peek, I'd love it if you did so.

Walter crossed his arms in a huff as his coworker, Jade, rolled her eyes and continued making her customer’s cappuccino. “Yes, you do. Everybody needs therapy.” She chuckled slightly, then paused to yell a customer’s name, sliding the finished drink to the pickup area. “Why are you getting so defensive about this?”[break][break]
“What? I’m not,” Walter said under his breath, his face growing red with frustration and a hint of embarrasment. It had been three years since he’d moved to Los Eurosia, and he was having an amazing time. Walter’s mental health was great- suberb, in fact! That’s what he tells himself every morning, so it MUST be true, right?[break][break]
Walter tried to cover his uneasiness with a light chuckle, shaking his head and once again denying help from his friend. Jade sighed and turned to face Walt, a look of genuine concern on her face. “You spend so much time thinking about others, that you don’t accommodate for yourself.”[break][break]
“That isn’t true! I have plenty of time for myself at home,” Walter said with his same ingenuine smile as before, trying to distract himself with work. He began to aimlessly wiping down the counters, avoiding eye contact with Jade as she continued. “You know that’s not what I’m talking about, and even so, that’s probably not a good thing, being left with your own thoughts! You think I don’t pay attention, but I’ve heard bits of your self-image leak into what you say.” Walter finally stopped, turning abruptly towards Jade. But he didn’t say anything. They stared at each other in silence for a minute, an invisible tension raging between them.[break][break]
Walt sighed, his shoulders slagging. He took a deep breath, giving a tired smile. “Please, Jade. I’m fine.”[break][break]
“I don’t believe you.” Jade then walked over to her purse that was hanging on the wall, rummaging through it before pulling out a business card, holding it out to Walt. “This is my therapist’s card. She’s affordable, to say the least, and has helped me battle through my depression.” She’d extend her arm even further, beconing him to take it. “Just think about it okay?”[break][break]
Walter sighed once again, gently taking the card and putting it in his jeans pocket. “Okay.” He gave Jade a soft smile, his shoulders still sagging as she walked off satisfied. They both went back to work for the rest of the day, the mood soon beginning to pick back up to its usual cheery vibe.[break][break]
After closing, on his way out of the Rhythms Cafe, Walter ripped the card in half and let it blow away in the wind. [attr=class,punkireckoningtags] one shot with Walter Bell [attr=class,punkireckoninglyrics] [break] but you don't believe me [attr=class,punkireckoningcredit] template by punki

A singular mirror leaned against the back of the room, tall enough to bend slightly in the middle. Candy had always thought that mirror was funny, the way it slightly distorted her torso. But as she looked at her reflection for the hundredth time, she didn’t giggle like she usually would have. Instead, her mouth quivered downwards, unsatisfied. She slumped over, dragging herself to the table that sat in the middle of her room. Taking a red crayon and a piece of paper, she let the tip touch the paper, but then shook her head and set the crayon back down on the table. [break][break]
There was a thump across the room, and Candy’s face lit up with excitement. She turned around, beaming at Petra who was now sitting in front of her, unmoving. [break][break]
“Hi, Petwa! How a’ya?” She exclaimed, putting her hands on her knees. Petra, being a rock, didn’t give any verbal response, but she could still hear them give a response. She had once asked Petra about how they could talk, but she didn’t understand their answer about how they “exist inside the brain” and how they are an “alter” and the rules of the real world don’t apply in the brain. They had said some other stuff too, but she had fallen asleep before they could finish. Candy giggled a bit at the thought.[break][break]
“I was going to ask you the same question,” Petra started, their voice mostly monotone. “You’ve barely touched your crayons, and you didn’t seem very enthused by the mirror. Is something wrong?”[break][break]
“What does… 'ensoosed' mean?”[break][break]
“It means happy.”[break][break]
“Oh.” Candy’s shoulders sagged again, and she looked down at her hands as she fidgeted awkwardly. “Well, I’m just kind of bored.”[break][break]
“Would you like some new toys? How about a stuffed animal?” Petra asked. Beside them, a white-haired unicorn plushie with a pink mane appeared. At the sight of it, Candy squealed and hugged it tightly, but her expression quickly fell once more. “Well, ‘tis is great, but… I just want to go somewhere else.” Her face lit up with an idea, turning once more towards Petra. “Oh! Can we go to my old school?”[break][break]
Petra’s tone shifted to a more serious one. “I’m sorry, but you have to stay here. You know why you can’t go outside.”[break][break]
Candy grumbled a little, once again looking down and fidgeting with her hands. “Yeah. ‘To keep me safe,’ I guess. But what from? You neva told me!”[break][break]
Candy could almost hear Petra sigh; a dull, airless breath that somehow held more weight than a thousand tons. “That’s a conversation for when you’re older.” Before Candy could protest, they disappeared, leaving the irony hang in the air. Leaving a promise that would never be fulfilled.[break][break]
Candy sat alone in her room, face blank. After a minute, she took her red crayon off the table, violently scribbled on the paper in front of her, then hurled it across the room.
