The Girl with the Red Ribbon
I wanted to be like Addie. Everyone loved her. Including me. It was hard not to. She was kind, funny, sweet and smart but it made me sad to know I would always be second best. Next to her, nobody really paid much attention to me. I didn't have to be second though, did I? Wasn't I making the choice to stand one step behind her? The truth is, I think I was a little afraid of people actually noticing me. I never felt comfortable in my own skin. Addie was always comfortable. I think that's why she wore that red ribbon. I think she liked being noticed. Not me though I always sort of felt like people would compare me to her and I would come up short. It took me a while to realize that I was the problem and not Addie. Once I figured it out it was easy to fix. Things are better now. People notice me, they tell me I'm smart and funny and even pretty. I'm glad. It's nice to hear that kind of thing from people. To know that they love you. I'm so glad I took that ribbon out of Addies hair when I left her body in the woods. It really was the only way to tell the two of us apart.

I noticed you posted it on Reddit first. Nevertheless, it's too good to reject. I am glad she took the ribbon. I hope @Ozzyy, @marblely @Heartbeat1515 will read you too and you find time to join the contest writing stories in series. See @Ozzyy his account.
Thank you. If I'm only supposed to post things that haven't been posted elsewhere yet, I am sorry though. I didn't know there was a rule like that. If that is the case, I can make sure to only post things I haven't somewhere else first though. I will look into the contest as well.
If you wrote it yourself and can proof it it's no problem to me. It only means you won't see the word "exclusive" above your article. I suggest you mention it so people do not think you are a plagiarist. That's all.
Alright. I'll keep that in mind in the future. I just wasn't sure if I missed a rule.
Thank you for the mention. I believe I will have a good read anywhere you mentioned me.
Hey this was really great, especially since it's a horror/thriller. So Addie was her twin sister... Wow!
This is quite something. I didn't see the end coming. I like the way you write, very simple and uncomplicated. Thanks to @wakeupkitty for the buzz.
Thank you. I have been told my writing style is very simple. It use to bother me but now I just kind of let the words flow as they will.
Great stories. The ending brought me to a few dimension. They are twins and addie is killed or she have a double personality but she manage to solve the problems.
