“Run Caleb! Run!” Harvey shouted. My friends and I had been trying to break into a shop to steal some spray paint when all of a sudden we heard sirens! “Someone must have seen us and called the police!” Gary said. We ran and ran until we were out of breath. We collapsed near an old dumpster until we could breathe properly then went to buy some beer. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members...

I had been working in a garage for 2 years. It didn’t pay much, just the food money but that job was all I had and I had got it after a lot of struggles so I put up with it. I was just 18 at that time and 2 years before that I had run from my last foster home because the people who took me in were the worst kind of people. They didn’t take care of me or any other child in the house and made us do...

When I started high school, I was going through a very hard time. My family was broke. We lived in a tiny apartment, all sleeping in the same room and eating fast food every day because it was all we could afford. My mom and dad fought every single day because of the situation. I’m the eldest of my siblings, so it was my job to take care of them while my parents argued. I had so much anger pent up...

My friends and I loved playing video games. We had tournaments all the time, and we always liked to try out the newest consoles. We were almost like a sort of clan - every single Saturday, we played a video game and we'd have championships. It was so fun.

From the moment I learned what public relations does, I was interested in it. I nailed an interview at a PR firm fresh out of college. At the beginning my job consisted of fetching coffee for my coworkers and organizing files around the office, but thanks to my hardworking nature, I got promoted to handling internet stuff. I mainly de-escalated situations online, but one day I was checking emails...

“Lizzy! Don’t forget to feed the puppy!” shouted my grandma from across the house. “I won’t, grandma!” I replied. I loved my grandma. We lived together since I was very little. I had no idea where my parents were and I appreciated that my grandma had taken care of me. It was just the two of us for as long as I could remember – and now we had a cute little addition – a puppy named Max! Visit https:...

I spent my life following my parents through ancient tombs and exploring the pyramids of Egypt. They’re archaeologists and I felt very lucky to have been adopted by these cool people. My adoptive mom couldn’t have children and one day she decided that adopting a baby was just as good as having her own. She went to an orphanage and I was the first baby she laid eyes on. Apparently I was really cute...

I was born with a rare disease. My memory would reset everyday. Without delay. Let me tell you how it all began. When I was born, something went wrong, which resulted in me getting the disease. My parents told me they first noticed it when I was around 2-years-old - I would wake up in the morning and run away from them - I didn't know who they were, and I was scared because I thought they were str...

I lived up north, where the temperatures were below freezing and the sun was a rare sight. I used to love ice-skating, and I would always go down to the frozen lake near my house. I've been skating on that lake ever since I could remember. Literally. From what my mom told me, even as a fetus I was skating on the ice. When she was pregnant she was skating. When I was a day old she skated with me in...

I know that it’s probably every girl’s dream to find true love and get married to a charming, handsome man! We all have some sort of idea of what we want our weddings to be like. But we’d think of other things too right? Surely, there was more to a girl’s life than aspiring to get married. Wrong! Bouquets, corsages, bridesmaids, cake, garlands! All I could think about was my wedding day. I was obs...

I was a professional gold digger, and I didn't even know it - here's how it happened. Growing up, my family wasn't rich. We weren't poor, but we were at that point where we just couldn't buy nice things. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I never owned any luxurious items, like necklaces, or diamonds, or crystals. The most expensive thing I owned was my phone, and technically that wasn't eve...

I didn't always get along with my parents. But things got so much worse when we did a lie detector test. It revealed all of my parents' darkest secrets. But, more on that later. My parents were always pretty secretive. I never knew my grandparents. I never met any relatives. I suppose I never really questioned it because I trusted my parents. Oh, but how I wished I'd known better. Visit https://ww...

All my life, I've always been that kid. The one who is always different from the rest. The one who stays away from people. The one who never really has any friends. So, maybe I was a psychopath from the very start. I don't know. Or maybe I suffered trauma when my father died in that car accident. But however it started, I was always strange, even as a young girl. Visit https://www.storytimeanimate...

My dad disappeared for years and came back with a new family. You're probably wondering how all that played out. Well, let me tell you, it was a crazy experience. You probably wouldn't believe it. But trust me when I say it is 100% true. I grew up as an only Daughter with my mom and dad. We were always happy, and always laughing. On Sundays we always had game night: we would play Monopoly, and Lud...

I paid my girlfriend $100,000 to break up with me. I'm not a poor man. Not by any means. I have a very good job, and I am well off in terms of money. That's why a lot of girls are attracted to me - not because of my personality or looks, but because of my wealth. And, I guess I would take advantage of the situation. Growing up, I never had a girlfriend - I was too awkward and shy to charm a girl i...

My girlfriend Tanya and I were both hardworking people. In fact, we started dating mostly because of our similarity in the schedule, status, and taste in music. But no matter how hard we worked we were always short on money as most of it went on rent of two apartments and food. We were talking about living together to cut the costs but we weren’t being able to manage time. Visit https://www.storyt...

High school was a hard time for me. I used to lie awake at night stressing over deadlines, walk through the halls of school like a zombie and stuff myself with junk food because I didn’t feel like cooking or getting actual food. The day after I graduated high school, I packed my bags, bought a plane ticket and left to travel for a few weeks. “A few weeks” turned into a year, because I fell in love...

I've dated a lot of girls in my life. But when I finally met Megan, I believed I'd found the perfect girlfriend. I was in college at the time, and I met Megan in the library. We spotted each other from across the room, and it was love at first sight. She was so funny and beautiful. She had long locks of brown hair, and sparkling green eyes. When I asked her out and she said yes, I couldn't believe...

The most amazing year of my life, my first year of college, was over! I had so much fun and the new level of independence I experienced was exhilarating. I spent half of my life in the library and the other half getting drunk with friends my parents would never approve of. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening.

“Hurry and get yourself ready for church!” my mom said as she slammed my bedroom door. “Okay mom.” I sighed and tried to get out of bed. My family was fiercely religious and we’d go to church every single Sunday. My mom, dad and three sisters all had to hurry so that we could be on time. We didn’t even get to finish breakfast! That day, I really tried to keep my eyes open in church but the sermon...

Growing up, I had no problems with hearing. I could hear crystal-clear - if anything, my hearing was better than most people. But then, when I was 6-years-old, my hearing started to deteriorate. I had this rare disease that impacted my hearing abilities. It got to the point where I couldn't hear anything - I was deaf!

I had an ordinary life, with an ordinary family, and ordinary goals - but all that changed after I googled my family. I wish I never did it. But let me start from the beginning. The very beginning. I was born on the 2nd of November. I grew up with my parents in a small town, with a really small population. I had no siblings, no grandparents, no aunts or uncles - but I didn't care. I had my parents...

I opened my eyes to find myself in a strange place but because of the surroundings and equipment attached to me, I could tell that I was in a hospital. However, I had no idea how I got there no matter how hard I tried to remember. And the most strange thing was that I couldn’t move at all because of the things attached to me and because every part of my body hurt. Visit https://www.storytimeanimat...

Ordinary middle school girls usually occupy their time by going to the mall, painting their nails, talking about crushes and doing homework. I suppose I was ordinary once. I had a fun group of friends and we did all of those exciting things.... until my last year of middle school. Everything changed. I was sitting in class passing notes to my best friend Maryanne when everyone suddenly went silent...

If you go to an ordinary school and you have neighbors around that you can actually talk to, consider your life normal. Mine is totally different. I live on a farm in Iowa with my mom, dad and my little sister. There is no one around for miles so we’re pretty much all on our own. It’s a bit scary but I like it. I’m sort of an introvert so it doesn’t bug me that I don’t get to go to ‘real school’....
