Decorum Stories

Taylor Moore joins the Finer Things Society at the last possible minute to satisfy a financial aid requirement, assuming it will be an easy box to check. Instead, he discovers a rigorously structured organization devoted not to nostalgia, but to discipline. When he shows up to the first meeting in jeans and a T shirt, he is calmly turned away. The Society's president, Rosalyn, makes it clear that participation includes presentation, and that standards are not suggestions. At home, his longtime girlfriend Layla reads the handbook he never bothered to open and realizes the depth of what he has signed. What begins as mild embarrassment becomes a reckoning with his lifelong habit of drifting. Forced to rebuild his wardrobe, refine his grooming, and learn the etiquette he once mocked, Taylor slowly confronts the difference between showing up physically and showing up intentionally. As the semester unfolds, the Society does not bend to accommodate him. Instead, it offers structure, correction, and responsibility. Layla, who once found his casualness charming, watches to see whether he will finally take something seriously. Through slips, hosiery, posture training, and the steady authority of Rosalyn's expectations, Taylor begins to understand that refinement is less about femininity and more about follow through. By the time he is entrusted to host a formal salon, he is no longer trying to disappear into the back row. He stands composed, deliberate, and present. The Finer Things Society becomes not a costume, but a crucible, reshaping a young man who once skimmed the surface of his own life into someone capable of discipline, grace, and love that means what it says.

This is a story about Alex Sidwells, a professor of a well renowned high school, Discellia High.

It was the only son of the principal who took over, shattering all that was left of Alex's dream. He was incapable yet was liked by the school for his ways of treatment where Alex promoted only discipline. Alex hated this so called inherited principal not only because he stole her dream away but also because he changed all the disciplinary rules of the school. But where there is hatred there is love. Will the inherited principal be able to change Alex's outlook about discipline into love? Will this young lady who always opposed love over decorum fall for a reckless inherited principal?

This little snippet is my response to the poem Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfed Owen (only 230 words long)

Wanda, a mighty girl of nineteen is living a life from hell or much worse. Amidst all problems which had at once proven to be the only ones-her nuisance of a family who are worse than her enemies, there lies another major problem. The "missing twenty three months" that just seemed to have fled from her memory and .......life. With her "human" friend passing away a month back and no one for her to share her feelings with she is left all alone. or atleast, she has turned her back on whatever pieces of happiness may have remained. She all the more different now, pained and confused yet too proud acknowledge it. Feeling for nothin, smiling not even once for the heck of it or sad to please the sadists just a bit more daring and defensive than ever. Lost so deep in thoughts. Time seems to have stuck for her and so has her heart. But one fine rainy day, "Beau" a swallow, and her friend comes to her window after an absence of pretty long. Only to reveal his human form...........and that- she was/is in love with him. she was/is the mother of his child. she had slept with him.......ofcourse. But thats not all....;)
