Shelke's journal

by Reibunriinta

Shelke is suffering from anxiety attacks and nightmares shortly after they defeat deep ground. Eventually Tifa suggests that she start a journal. This is Shelke's journal, where she writes whatever comes to mind, and attempts to fight the memories of her dark past.

1. Introduction

A year has passed since Deepground was destroyed. The horrors are still fresh on my mind. Every dark memory seems to plague it. Every night I have these nightmares. To be more exact at what I am trying to say, I am afraid. My past is haunting me, and I don't know what to do about it. Tifa suggested I start this journal. Apparently, journaling helped her cope with some of the traumas that she had to face at the hands of Shinra and Sephiroth.

My hope is that creating this habit of journaling will help me to better fight the plague of my mind, and to be rid of those nightmares once and for all.

This might not be important in the grand scheme of things, but this is my story, and I want to see it improve. The nightmares might not ever go away, but at least I can have hope.

A/N Shelke is one of my favorite FF characters, and she is so underrated! So I thought I'd write a story about her. I had another story I was going to do about her, but I decided to do a journal instead. So this is how I think she would be after they defeated DeepGround. This is also sort of to raise awareness about anxiety attacks, this is something I struggle with, and something I think Shelke would have after everything that she'd been through. So I hope you enjoy this little fan fic, I'll try to update whenever possible. Love y'all -Reibun
