I’m Too Charming

When I was born, it was on a pirate ship. When I took my first steps, it was on a pirate ship. When I said my first words - you guessed it, I was on a pirate ship! My parents were the greatest pirates who ever sailed the seas. Other pirates cowered whenever they saw the flag of my family, the Shellwalkers, wave up in the air.Growing up I loved the pirate life. The adrenaline, the fresh ocean breeze. My parents always made sure they took good care of me too. Life was good. Until, it all came crashing down with the force of a tsunami.One night I was in my room when I heard a loud crash.I ran outside to find colossal waves and a giant storm above us.“Mom? Dad?”“Tina! Quick, get to the lifeboat!”“No, I’m not leaving you two!”Dad: “Henry, take her!”Mom: “We’ll be with you soon honey.”Henry, my parents’ trusted right-hand-man, lifted me up and ran with me to the lifeboat at the side of the ship. We hopped in, but suddenly the rope holding it up snapped and the boat fell into the water with us in it.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

My Parents Only Let Me Date Models

Hi, my name is Ayallah, and I’m from Spain. I never thought my mom would try to control my love life, but boy was I in for a surprise!Growing up, I was an only child and my parents owned the largest makeup company in the city. When I was five years old, my entire world turned upside down when my best friend, Andy, told Dad that he saw Mom kissing Mr. Johnson, the mailman. Dad was devastated. You see Dad was ill and I really thought Mom loved him. He kissed me goodbye, told me that he loved me and left for good. Mom has hated Andy ever since. Andy and I were inseparable even though Mom tried to keep us apart. We kept our friendship a secret and actually started dating in high school. Andy and I were in our last year of high school and I couldn't wait to leave home and go to college so Andy and I didn't have to sneak around. But what Mom did next left me speechless."Ayallah, I invited Andy over for dinner. I think it's time we deal with unresolved issues”.Before I could object Mom continued, "Now, go upstairs and freshen up. Throw on something nice." At 6:15 the doorbell rang. "Ayallah could you get that please?"My mind raced and my stomach churned as I opened the door. Before me stood a slender, 6'2, black haired Godlike version of Jason Mamoa. He was holding a bouquet of flowers. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My Family Lied About My Past

Hey there, I’m Alexis and I’m from Cantivina. If you think that’s a made-up country, you’re wrong, because I’m the queen of it.Growing up, life was pretty strange. One time when I was 2 years old I was at a grocery store with my parents when suddenly 5 men dressed like ninjas burst in and tried to grab me!“GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!”One of the ninjas grabbed me and started to run away with me in his arms. “MAMA! PAPA!”“NO! ALEXIS!”I bit on the guy’s hand and he dropped me.“Why you little–”His next few words were snatched from his mouth as two bodyguards jumped in and knocked him out. More bodyguards arrived and dealt with the other ninjas, and before long I was escorted away from the grocery store with the eyes of everyone on us. Someone in the crowd scoffed angrily, “ I wonder who those people are?” His wife then said, ``they must be movie stars or something”. When we got home, I asked my parents what had happened and they told me not to worry too much about it.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

I Haven’t Seen Another Human For Years

Hey guys, I’m Annika Sabeen. I grew up in the Arctic.My last memory of human life was from when I was 10 years old. I remembered my mother carrying me out into this icy landscape. The wind was blasting us with thousands of icy crystals, and I held onto my mother tight, but she let go of me and dropped me on the freezing floor. “Mama!”My mom turned and ignored me. She disappeared, and that was the only memory I had of her. I didn’t even know what her face looked like. The trauma of being abandoned in the Arctic had wasted away what memory I had left, so now all I knew was that my name was Annika Sabeen.After she abandoned me, I was devastated. But I decided I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. I was determined to survive. I learnt how to make a fire out of the sticks left in the woods nearby. I learnt how to make an igloo to shield myself from the snowstorms. I lived off of seal meat and sometimes even polar bear meat. Life was tough. And boring. Until one fateful day.I was about 16 years old. I had just returned from fishing, when I noticed that smoke was coming out of my igloo. I felt my heart skip a beat. I hadn’t lit a fire! So how was there any smoke? Was an intruder in my home?I sprinted as fast as I could and barged in, my spear in hand.“GET OUT YOU–”Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

I Believed For Years I Was A Monster

Hi, my name is Darla, and I'm from Italy. I often wonder if my life would have turned out differently if I didn't have this scar. I was blessed to grow up in a loving family. Dad was a teacher and Mom had an online business so she was always there for me when I needed her. My family was perfect. But one night my world was turned upside down.Even though I was five at the time, I remember it like it was yesterday. Mom and Dad were preparing dinner and I was sitting by the kitchen table. Suddenly, a masked man entered the kitchen and Mom grabbed me in front of her. Dad tried to ward off the intruder with the knife in his hand but the intruder snatched me from Mom and threw me into Dad's path. I felt a sharp pain on my face and Mom screamed. The relationship with Dad wasn't the same when I was released from the hospital. Dad couldn't bear to stay in the same room that I was in. He no longer looked at me or hugged me. One day Dad went to work and he never returned. I was heartbroken and for years I blamed myself. If it wasn't for this ugly scar then maybe Dad would still be around.As I went through school, kids and teachers were mean about my scar. I tried to make friends but one girl named Charlotte told everyone that I had an infectious disease and nobody wanted to play with me. I resorted to wearing a mask in hopes that things may change but it didn't. The last straw was when a teacher placed my lunch in a dog bowl and ordered me to eat it. Mom removed me from the school but she was also able to get the teacher fired. Mom homeschooled me and I was happier than I'd been in a long time.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

Mom Doesn’t Tell The Truth

What’s up guys, I’m Naya and I’m from India.My mom raised me all by herself and she didn’t have it easy. We were poor. Very poor. She worked as a maid for this super rich family, and when I was 8 years old I begged mom to let me work with her too so we could earn extra money.“Please mom, I wanna help.”“Oh I don’t know…”“Please!”“Well, okay honey. Thank you.”“Yay!”I was excited, but I didn’t really understand how terrible my mom’s work was.When we arrived I was so shocked by how massive the house was. It was a mansion, all white and pristine like a palace. We didn’t get to enter through the front since we were considered inferior, so we had a small back entry where we got changed into our uniforms and started our tasks for the day.My mom and I were in the living room cleaning up. I was only 8 years old so I was pretty clumsy, and I accidentally knocked over a glass of orange juice that was on the table, staining the fluffy white carpet.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

I Risked Everything For My Crush

“Ya!”I urged the horse on as we galloped away from the bandits chasing me. “Get back here!”I held the small treasure chest in my hands closer to me.“You’ll never get my treasure!” The bandits soon overtook me and circled around me. One of them moved closer, scaring my horse and causing him to rear back.“Woah, there boy!”I lost my grip of the chest and it fell to the ground.“No!”“Haha! The treasure’s mine!”But before the bandit could get his grimy hands on my treasure, I brought out my lasso and looped it around the chest, dragging it back into my hands. We galloped away, speeding far from those evil bandits. I had found this treasure fair and square. All they wanted to do was steal it from me!Suddenly I heard a loud ringtone. Someone was calling me.

I Didn’t Expect To Live

Hi guys. My name is Milo and I’m from New York.My friends and I were on a plane ride to Hawaii. It was myself, Liam, who was the pilot of the tiny plane, and also happened to be my biggest crush, my best friend Kayla, and our other friend Brittany, who I secretly didn’t like all that much since I had a feeling she wanted to get with Liam. We were cruising along when suddenly an alarm rang out.“Uh, what’s going on?”Liam looked panicked. “The engine. It cut out!”“WHAT?”“WE’RE GOING DOWN!”We all screamed as the plane took a nose dive as Liam desperately tried to gain control. “Quick! Grab a parachute!”Through all the chaos Liam managed to hand each of us a parachute, then he opened up the door.“GET OUT AND PULL THE STRING IMMEDIATELY!”I fastened the parachute on, made sure Kayla was alright, then jumped out the plane. As we plummeted down, the wind whipped my hair around so I couldn’t see anything. I fumbled for the string but I couldn’t find it. I started to panic. This was it. I was going to die! I would get squished like a berry as soon as I made contact with the ground. But then I felt someone grab hold of me and I looked up to see Liam.Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

I Discovered My Real Parents

Hi my name is Kelly, and I’m from Texas. I was born into a rich family. My dad was the CEO of a huge tech company, and my mom was the top lawyer in the state. Life was good.. Or so I thought. One night I woke up to some noises from downstairs. What could that be? I headed down but no one was in the kitchen or the living room. The noises sounded like banging. Eventually I followed the noises to a strange door I’d never noticed before. I reached my hand out to the doorknob, then suddenly my mom leapt out.“Ahh!”“Honey, what are you doing here? You should be in bed.”“What’s behind this door, mom?”“Nothing that concerns you. Come on, off to bed.”I ran upstairs to my room, slamming the door behind me.I soon forgot about the mystery door and the strange noises, that is, until, once in the tenth grade my friend Alex pulled me aside in the cafeteria.“Kelly, I have some good news.”“What?”Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.
