“Ah yes another family reunion, where I am completely ignored,” I thought as I sat on the sofa.Grandad sat next to me, "Well, I know that this isn't your cup of tea, so I've got a job for you if you want it.""Sure, Grandad, what is it?""I'll pay you $150 to clean the attic."As I got up Grandad called behind me,"If you find anything interesting up there you can keep it. We'll call it your bonus."I hated family reunions, but little did I know this family reunion would change my life forever. While cleaning the attic, I found a black leather bag its zip was rusted in place. I put the bag to one side and continued cleaning but I couldn't help but wonder what was in the bag.A knock on the door diverted my attention."It's ten o'clock. Mom and I are ready to leave. Grandad said you could stay and finish cleaning up if you'd like."“I'll stay and finish cleaning up.""Ok, I'll be back in the morning to pick you up.""Thanks, Dad."Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

FBI Has Been Chasing Me Since I Was Born

It was a difficult journey but I’d finally arrived at my destination. This was the third time I’d run away from my parents and I really felt like it was going to be the last. Something told me that this year would be the end of my troubles, after all I turned eighteen this year so for all intents and purposes, I was a full fledged adult. My parents refused to understand this though, they treated me like I was still a child, they never let me go anywhere on my own and just monitored my every step! It was tiring! I opened my hotel room door and found twin beds. “What kind of mistake is this!? I specifically told the hotel staff that I wanted a room with a king size bed! Are they dumb?” I screamed out loud.“Nope, they’re not”, a dreadful voice said behind me.Oh no! I didn’t need to turn around to know that the voice I was hearing was my mom’s and I’d been caught once again. God!Hey! I’m Song. I’ve been on the run ever since I was born thanks to my parents. My parents were wanted fugitives and being their one and only child, I was forced into this life without my permission. We’ve been living this way for eighteen years and I was tired of it already but no matter where I ran to, my parents were always behind me.

I Could Be With Any Girl I Want, Until She Ruined It

I woke up from bright light shining directly into my eyes. So many thoughts were running through my mind. Why’s this couch wet? Who’s couch is this? Where am I? I threw my jacket on and found my way to the front door, but before I left I took a peek in the mirror. My face was covered in lipstick stains and my arms were covered in phone numbers. God, I love my life.If you enjoy this story, remember to hit those like and subscribe buttons below, we appreciate it!My older brother was my hero growing up. He was in high school when I was in elementary, so of course I idolized him. Nothing made me happier back then than going to family reunions and having everyone tell me I’d be just like my brother when I grew up. I started studying everything my brother did with girls. My mom didn't really like it, but she was busy babysitting the neighbor’s kid, who was obsessed with her because she didn’t have a mom.I was so focused on the theory of it all when I was a kid, that I never put anything into practice, so in high school whenever a girl talked to me, I turned bright red and couldn’t look her in the eyes. The summer between high school and college is when things got good. I finally learnt how to talk to girls. My brother was at a different stage in life by then but he still visited sometimes.“I don’t get it, why didn’t you just practice with the neighbor?” He asked, sprawled on his old bed while I tried on some of his old jackets.“I can’t stand Annicka. The thought of her makes me wanna puke” I said. The door that was only slightly closed shut all the way, forcefully.“Dammit, was that her?” I asked my brother.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

I Can Become Anyone I Want

“Mom, I want this now!”“No dear. I can’t afford it right now!”“You’re the worst mom in the world! You never buy me anything I want because you hate me!”I was only nine years old but those words were enough to make my mom start crying in the toy store. She had taken me there to buy me something small because I had gotten an A+ on my Math test – but I didn’t want something small. I wanted this super cool remote control car which was really expensive apparently. I was too little to know about prices.My mom grabbed my hand and walked outside. We were walking home when we were approached by a kind-looking old lady. I don’t even think my mom knew her but I’ll always remember what she said to me “Your mom loves you very much but you won’t know that until you actually spend a day in her shoes. Try doing that and I’m sure you’ll be a lot kinder in the future.Before falling asleep that night, I tossed and turned, and kept thinking about her words. I wondered what it would be like to wake up as another person and to live their life. Now you know when you’re little you think that wishes come true and all that stuff so I actually said to myself before I closed my eyes “Tomorrow, I wish I could live my mom’s life.”The next morning I woke up feeling weird. I walked into my mom’s room and she was gone. But then I looked at my hands and legs and realized I looked really different.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

“Dude, you’re such a great swimmer”. My friends cheered for me as I showed off my swimming expertise.“How did you learn to swim so well?”“The same way I learned to do every other sport so well”.“Your parents”.“Yeah”. “It's too bad all that sport expertise is wasted on a fat boy like you”. My dad suddenly materialized from somewhere, forcing us all out of the pool. “Why don’t you go show off your cake eating skills to your friends instead? That will explain your weight, don’t you think?”“Daaad! I don’t even eat cake!”“Whatever”.“You know, I’ll love to eat some cake”. Damian said, making me and Francis burst into laughter. “Fine, let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll have the chef prepare something nice for you”.“Awesome!”Sitting in the kitchen, on top of a table was my little sister, Nadia, she was always in the kitchen with the chef. Her body was stained with different ingredients, it looked like she’d just finished painting a house. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

My Parents Have Been Hiding This For Years

A secret room? I would never have imagined. What else could my parents be hiding from me? I was set to explore when I heard my mum scream “Paul!”I ran out of the basement to see her hovering over my sister’s unconscious body.My name is Paul. My family is not regular, as you might have deduced. My parents were extreme disciplinarians, I’m talking; food, leisure time restrictions and even sending their children to live in the basement as punishment, this was how I discovered the secret room. My sisters and I are introverts, a personality obviously influenced by the kind of upbringing we had.Investing solely in my studies kept me in my Dad’s good books most of the time. I did this because my punishments were always the worst. That didn’t last long, some of my classmates were jealous, they couldn’t fathom how I always topped the class. Then the rumors began, I had been stealing test questions. My calm look was just a facade.On the day things fell apart, I was in a Biology class when the school secretary called me to report to the principal’s office. The principal had gotten wind of the fake news and I was summoned by the school’s disciplinary panel.I watched in despair as my classmates testified against me one after the other. It broke my heart but I didn’t have friends so no one could vouch for me. My class teacher looked betrayed, I was the student she would always brag about and now the pride was being replaced by shame.My dad’s eyes screamed disappointment; disdain written all over his face. “How could you bring such shame to this family?!”, From the corner of my eyes, I could see my mum shake her head in disgust, “The apple is truly never far from the tree”, she said under her breath. I wondered what she was talking about.“You’ll move into the basement until the school asks you to resume".Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

I took off my headphones and switched off my computer. I needed a break and I needed something to eat. I headed out of my room and was about to go downstairs to the kitchen when I heard some giggling coming from my sister’s room.I smiled to myself,“This is going to be fun!”Without knocking I barged straight into my sister's room. Her friends all stopped talking and looked at me in surprise.“What do you want Jason?”“Oh, you know, I just thought I’d have a little chat with you and your friends!”I could tell my sister was suspicious,“What do you want to chat about?”“Oh, I just thought that your friend Mark might like to know something!”My sister’s face started turning bright red.“Get out of here Jason, I mean it!”Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

Definitely not me.I mixed the dyes in a twirly circle inside the water so it could create a magnificent design once it came out.

I Was Promised A Perfect Body

“Sylvia omg you’re so pretty!”“Your hair is so perfect!”“And your skin ... how is it so smooth? You’ve gotta share your skincare routine with me!”I was used to everyone making a fuss over me and when I ran into those freshman girls at my high school that morning, I wasn’t surprised. Everyone either knew me or knew about me – and one thing that was for sure was that everyone wanted to be me!For me, this popularity was like food. I didn’t know how I’d live without people constantly telling me how beautiful and perfect I was.Then something so awful that I never imagined possible happened and it changed my life forever.Before school started that morning, I was sitting outside on a bench under my favorite tree. Two guys were trying to make small talk with me about something dumb and I was thinking like whatever – this is normal – they’re all obsessed. Then they turned away from me and I noticed that everyone around was staring in one direction. I looked and there she was, exiting the latest Lamborghini in the most fashionable clothes I’d ever seen anyone wearing at school. She looked like an upgraded version of me and was developed in all the right places. For the first time in my life I felt jealous of another girl – like really jealous. I was literally boiling inside.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
