My name is Jillian Devries, and I’m a 17 year-old Canadian who writes stories for both hobbies and fun. Sometimes, usually accidentally, my stories end up having a slightly political nature, or they end up being a commentary on the world and how it works today. Neglected Stories: the World Around Us seemed like a good way to get these stories out so they don’t end up rotting on my computer. Besides, stories are a fun way to point out things that are wrong in the world without really being offensive to anyone.
