— A YA themed dark satire. A psychological thrill ride. A mirror held up to the chaos.
Some stories are born from inspiration.
This one? From fury, frustration, and a desperate need to scream into the void.
Meet Score Drop—a sharp-tongued, middle-finger-to-the-system psychological satire that cuts deeper than you think.
Why this story matters (in the author’s own words)
Instead of pitching you some sanitized blurb, I want to introduce you to the soul of this story, the way it was meant to be: raw and real.
Here’s the letter I wrote to Jamie—the main character, the chaos magnet, the mirror I didn’t know I needed.
Dear Jamie,
You weren’t supposed to make sense to me. But you did.
You were supposed to be a satire, a caricature—a jab at everything broken and stupid and loud in this world. My way of crying out at the injustices I see happening more and more every day. Instead, you showed me the cracks in myself—the ones I pretend don’t exist. You cracked open that too-cool detachment I hid behind and said, Nope, look again.
I see you—how the chaos clings to you like static. How you smile when you’re crumbling. How do you keep running even when the track is on fire?
You’re not a hero. You’re not a victim. You’re a mirror. And some days I hate that. But most days… I’m grateful.
Because I genuinely need to be looking at myself.
I need to see the fact that I have grown apathetic to what is happening around me. That I have stopped fighting the injustice the way I used to when I was younger and started accepting that “this is just the way things are.”
But it doesn’t have to be.
And it never should have been.
So, here’s the truth:
I built you out of spite and caffeine and late-night rage, and you still turned around and asked me why I hurt so much. You dared me to answer. And I did.You were a story written in the dark, out of rage against a system that was meant to keep me silent, keep me broken, erase myself and those I love out of existence because we are too loud, too much, and too real.
Thank you for surviving when you didn’t have to. For being a smartass. For being me, when I couldn’t.
For standing up for those you loved and fighting in spite of everything and everyone in the world telling you not to.
To make yourself invisible, become a ghost, and just survive.But you knew damn well that was no way to live. No way to get through this life with any dignity and self-respect intact.
Thank you for reminding me why I write, why I speak up, and why I continue to be loud.
Hopefully I won’t forget again.We both know the game is rigged.
But fuck it—we play anyway.Always watching,
Lisa
