Description
This is a standalone short story about Tamara, a punk, growing up in a small, backwoods town in Tennessee, although that is not
specifically mentioned.
The characters herein are fictitious creations of mine.
This is getting a content warning
for adult situations
(sexual themes)
but not for language
or violence, etc.
A little long for a short story at about 11,000+ words, I am submitting this now as a trial run before letting it grow to a full fledged novella.
There is also a likelihood, like it or not, that I may round out some of the sections cut during re-writes and keeping the size down.
This was supposed to be just light and quick, but it kept taking deeper and darker directions that I had to keep pulling it back from.
I have been living with this story for the better part of a week, and was really unsure if I wanted to turn this "trim" version loose, so I left it over the weekend to think about its future.
Here is a character profile for Tamera: [link]
IF I get positive feed back, questions about the story, etc, THEN I may let it out in full, so please leave feedback.
Thanks, enjoy.

I read a lot of stuff on DA and I have to say so far this is the best story I have read.
The character development is amazing, each character isnt one dementional, even ones that are short lived are full of layers and depth. They come off very real and for me that's what it's about, a connection with the characters and getting to feel their emotions.
Also the feel of the small town is believable, the narrow minded attitude and stigma that plagues small towns is sprinkled through this peice.
They're may be a few things that people will raise an eyebrow at, but taking in how disfuctional the "family" is, it only makes more sense in understanding Tamera and her predicament.
I really enjoyed reading this and anyone who has been thinking reading it but havent because it is fairly long should.
