Sally's Short Stories

Recommended Posts

This is a self promotion, my blog has two short stories at the moment, others will come so be fore warned! I have shared 'The Awakening' with a few individuals here and was asked by most of them to post it, I hope that you will read and enjoy my work, I take pride in it and love to share.

Thank you for reading and feel free to leave a comment,

Sally

I replied to ALONE - it hit dead center with me. I use the word actor instead of puppet - but puppet shows a real lack of being able to contol your destiny and seems so much more descriptive. I especially liked your dictionary intro which set up the lead-in so well. You delivered the idea that the word ALONE to us transgendered has a very poignant and specialized meaning. It's early in the morning and I haven't had my coffee - or I just might go back to bed and sob a bit - darn it Sally... we are such a sad bunch here sometimes.

I've added another one, it actually is written around an excerpt from an E-mail that I sent to my therapist before I scheduled my first session. So this is actually much older than the others.

Enjoy,

Sally

Well she's at it again!

I've posted another short story.

For those of you afraid to visit because you don't have time to read a short story, mine should better be described as essays - 2 pages is really long for me! :)

Love ya,

Sally

Sally, Stop it! Not another one - I haven't read the others yet!

Yes, there is another new story.

I seem to write a lot,

Hey Sally :)

I read your 'waking up' story, It was written very well, I could see everything that was expressed in clear detail, it also made me cry.

Much luv, Jacci xo

Thanks, Jacci,

That one was written kind of more for 'us', but like the others they are kind of an attempt to explain to 'them' that 'we' are just human beings and 'we' have feelings and dreams to!

Someone 'stop' me before I 'air quote' again!

Love ya,

Sally

Well I've been at it again, That brings the entries to 16, actually one is a rewrite so there are only 15 different stories or poems.

I hope that some of you will take the time to read them, I feel a great release and even joy when I write and I hope that some of you can feel the same.

Even reading a sad story can serve as a release and make you feel better.

Let my therapy be your therapy as well.

Here's that address again:

...more!

You asked for it, there is more!

Another new one from the never ending store house of words, Sally's Word processor!

"It slices, it dices and best of all it is the world's fastest home cole slaw maker!"

It's Word - O - Matic!

Don't accept substitutes, only Sally's Word - O - Matic comes with the satire blade, the irony blade, the exclusive pathos blade and the patented pun attachment!

Oh, did I mention that I have added a new essay?

Love ya,

Sally

That newest work was inspired by a topic posted by KristieTS, "Where Are The Trannsexuals From?" and it started me thinking - always dangerous! :o

"If women are from Venus and men are from Mars, what planet do transsexuals come from?" :unsure:

Enjoy a little slice of my own special brand of insanity, there's plenty more where that came from. :wacko:

Love ya,

Sally

By the way, this one isn't depressing at all! :D

Oh, no, don't look, just ignore her and she'll go away.

That's why I always have cookies, to bring you in.

I have another observation on my blog.

So what else is new?

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
