Best Narrative Short
I'm from New Mexico, in Albuquerque, and I come from both Pueblo and the Navajo state. I've been in awe of how good-looking and neat horror literature, and short stories, made me at a small age, wonder about other-worldly things and make me fall in depth with my own imagination. I've sketched and brainstormed through stories and small dialogues to help me understand the hostilities that were around during small age. I've written many short stories that keep me going and take the human experience in more wonder than in previous years, especially during my young-adult life.
During the post-modern age, and being born in a digital age, I turned to write and imagining my life in different scenarios depending on the fears and feelings I had at the time, and still do. The horror of the home, peers, and mainly the world, are all fears that I extremely put more focus on.
Trevor is about the feelings I have as I grow up in a post-modern world; the future is excitingly very much in doom. It could be no accident that most of the short stories I write are taken place around the young-adult age because they are grounded in the domestic, the psychological, everyday responsibilities and, of course, on the internet. But the strongest fear that my generation has is the future; climate, death, and even self-destruction. But all information is mostly revealed on the phone through media and it is hard to find ground in our reality when we are overfilled with information, confusing fact with fiction. Thus, our opinions can feel not as important, or as bleak as everything goes.
No child can live happily without holding a stack of horrors within, and through this, it's clear that these fears do connect to more subjects than I thought. Thus just by attaching my personal feelings to simple objects, ideas, or even horror cliches, I end up creating something more cosmic and more psychological when condemned to certain expectations and violence that we cause in our lives.
Most of the time, the home can be where the horror is.
