As a kid, I discovered I had a really rare condition where if my heart rate was too high, I would start to swell up, and my throat would close over so I nearly couldn't breathe. I first found out about this in the playground as a toddler. We were climbing up the monkey bars, and I was so high off the ground. I felt fear strike, and my heart rate rise, and then suddenly my skin started to get all r...

“Jeeves, could you get me some soda?” I demanded from my butler. His name wasn’t really Jeeves – I just called him that for fun. “Yes sir.” he replied. “Make me a sandwich while you’re at it.” I said. He nodded and left. Having people refer to me as ‘sir’ made me feel quite important – especially since I was only in my last year of middle school. My parents owned several luxury hotels in the South...

I have 10 sisters and I'm the only boy in the family. And that made my life miserable. For the first eleven years of my life, I grew up in an orphanage. I have no idea who my biological parents were, but all I knew was that apparently I wasn't good enough for them, so they gave me up for adoption. Life in the orphanage was dreadful. Every kid was pretty much the most selfish, conceited kid you cou...

As soon as I opened our front door, the smell of freshly baked bread and cinnamon filled my nostrils. I kicked off my shoes and ran to the kitchen, still soaked from the rain that poured on me while biking home. My mom was brushing the powdered sugar off her hands on her apron and a loaf of bread was cooling on a rack next to a slightly opened window. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/member...

I went into the kitchen where my mom was sitting, sifting through some flyers and my sister was painting. I instantly cringed at the horrible smell of the paint thinner my sister was using. The smell was overpowering. “Mom, I’m going out to the town, I’ll be back later” I said. I grabbed my keys off the counter, but my mom snatched them out of my hand. She motioned at my clothes and said “You’re n...

I was getting ready for an amazing party my friend was throwing at his mansion. So I put on my favorite shirt and made my hair and headed out for the party. As I reached there with some of my other guys I saw that there were a lot of people. “Wow, he really invited all the college,” one of my friends said. “Yeah,” I replied and then we went in.

Growing up, we didn't have much money. Sure, we had enough to survive, but we were by no means well off. Some nights all we had to eat was some packet Mac and Cheese, and other times all we had was stale bread with a bit of peanut butter spread on top. We lived in a tiny house, with tiny rooms, and a tiny TV. All four of us lived in that small space. My parents, and my sister and I. Visit https://...

The first time I met Sarah was at a college party. I was helping myself to some fruit punch when she approached me. I have no clue why she walked up to me - I was this shy, awkward kid who had barely even spoken to a girl before. But then we started chatting, and next thing I knew we were dating. It felt so right being with her - she was so kind and funny and I loved her. It was towards our last y...

I was your regular teenage guy. I wasn’t popular but I wasn’t a loser either. My friends and I enjoyed playing sports, beating each other at video games and boasting about girls we’d been out with. My grades were average and my family was boring and ordinary. My parents were rarely ever home because they were always busy working so most of the time was home babysitting my two younger twin brothers...

I was adopted by monsters. I just didn't realize it yet. Growing up, my parents were always so strict and harsh with me. For most of my life, they were either yelling, screaming, or punishing me for some inconceivable reason. I would step outside, just to take a breath of fresh air, and they would say I should be inside doing chores. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free...

It was the first day of my college. I loved helping people so I was going for a degree in philanthropy and since it was the first day, I was a little nervous. So after the first lecture, I went to the library to see if I could find anyone to have a meaningful conversation with. But when I reached there I was pretty disappointed as there was not a single soul in there, well except for the librarian...

My family made me believe they were dead to teach me a lesson. I suppose I deserved it. I wasn't exactly the angel son my parents wanted me to be when I grew up. They had always wanted a child, and when they finally managed to get me, I was probably not what they expected me to be. I grew up into a mischievous, spoilt little brat. Yeah, I'll admit it. I wasn't a good kid. Not by any sense of the w...

My twin sister married my boyfriend. And I ended up in the hospital. You're probably wondering how I got into that mess. Well, you'll have to wait. First, let's start at where it all began. It was in the middle of October when my mother gave birth to twins. My parents named me Diane, and my sister Daisy. And, ever since that fateful day, my twin sister and I were best friends. We did everything to...

“Why does he always have to bring it in here?” I shouted down to my Mom. “Oh you know your brother. He just does that to get a rise out of you." As soon as I opened the door the smell hit me like a punch in the face. How the hell does mom allow him to live like that? Anytime I couldn’t find the Ipad he was always the one who took it. All he does is play X box when he’s home. I swear he only takes...

The summer that we were desperately waiting for finally arrived. My friends and I had made a plan to go for a vacation in an isolated and uninhabited island for a week. Actually, my cousin gave me the idea to go there as he had been there with his friends the summer before. He had told me that the island was big and had a huge rustic cabin and the good thing was very few people knew about it. So i...

My name is Gia, I’m sixteen years old and I’m probably the most beautiful girl you will ever meet in your life. For this reason, I’m extremely popular at school. Everyone has heard of me and everyone wants to be my friend. My teachers literally worship the ground I walk on and the principal lets me get away with practically anything.

You know how they say that money doesn’t buy happiness? They say it in every romance novel; in every poem, and as the moral of basically every movie about a happy couple. You’d think, with all that pounded down my throat on a regular basis, I’d learn something. However, apparently, learning a lifelong lesson was something that I had yet to get to in my 28 years on this planet. Visit https://www.st...

You ever watch one of those videos on YouTube where it starts off happy go lucky and then turns into a dark screamer video that makes you spill your pop and jump out of your chair? That's what this felt like, only I couldn't just click the x and exit the video. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

I was tired of my parents grounding me so I locked them in the basement for a year. It was dark and late at night. I was trying to sneak out of the house through my room’s window. I had this really awesome party to get to at my friend’s house but my parents would not allow it. That’s why I had no other option but to jump out.

“Derek wake up! Do you know what day it is?” said Tina. “Ahhh!” I said while wiping the sleep from my eyes. It was my little sister Tina who had started a birthday countdown. Every morning she’d jump on my stomach to tell me how many days were left until her big day. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.

“Ugh my life is so boring” I sighed. I rolled out of bed and went downstairs to the dining room. “Hi mom, hi dad.” I said. They looked up and nodded without saying a word. I remember when they used to be the coolest parents ever. They were always laughing and having fun conversations. Then, Elaine disappeared and nothing was the same.

They still don’t know that I am actually not my brother. Call me crazy, but I had to do what I did. I mean, he stole my girlfriend, the one that I loved for many years, so of course, I would retaliate. No one ever thought that I could do such a thing, but here it is, my darkest side exposed.  Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast. See acas...

My twin sister Hazel and I were home alone that night. Our parents were at a reunion party at their friend’s house and they were staying over. At around midnight, we heard some noise coming from downstairs. As we were fast asleep in our room that noise startled us. Hazel was sleeping on her bed next to mine and after hearing that sound she turned to me and said in her sleepy voice, “What’s that so...

It was such a boring day at school. I was so glad that it was over and couldn’t wait to get home. So I left school and waited for my driver on the sidewalk. He would usually be there before I was out but that day he was running late. I was in my own thoughts waiting when suddenly I heard someone calling my name from behind the tree.

As soon as I woke up I got out of bed and did my morning stretches. I squeezed a quick ten minutes of cardio in before taking a shower and getting ready for school. As usual, I yelled at the cook a little because he got my omelette wrong again. That part of my morning is always so relaxing. I drove to school in my red sports car and parked in my usual spot. The valet was already waiting for me, as...
