A Heartbreaking Yet Hopeful Journey!

"This story absolutely moved me to the core. The emotional portrayal of a teenager dealing with the trauma of witnessing her parents' murder, navigating foster homes, and starting a new school is so powerful. I loved the theme of hope—especially how finding a mentor or a creative pathway can bring true healing to someone who has lost so much. Highly recommend! 🫂❤️ Ps. Fyi I read 2 chapters of this short story, unsure why it states 0 chapters read 😕🤷🏾‍♀️"

Dear AnnMariamN, I’m really enjoying your story!

"Hi AnnMariamN! "A Splash of Colour" is a short story, yet it is beautifully and richly detailed. I feel it brilliantly captures the psychological journey of Iris—from the grief of losing her parents and the disappointment she felt toward her foster parents, to the bright hope that emerged after meeting her art teacher. Wishing you all the best with your writing! "

Beautiful but Rushed

"It was beautiful and emotional. The opening of the story was especially well written and genuinely broke my heart. However, I felt that even if it was intended to be a one-shot, the ending moved a little too quickly, which reduced some of the emotional impact. That said, it was still a beautiful and touching story."

Colorblind

"Even though my colorblindness kept me from fully appreciating the look of it, the story was a wild ride. Shocking, a bit sad, but totally worth the watch/read."
