Dark
This genre is, like romance, Best used in compound with other genres but stands on it's own because it carries elements particular unto itself. Those elements are in accordance with the page under the NSFW category, Non-Sexual. As in, stuff that is still not appropriate for a younger or sensitive audience but is not sexual. Look there for a comprehensive list of what this Genre entails to me.
Scenario Sample:
(1)Catalina sat on her childhood bedroom floor in tears, keeping the door locked in hopes no-one walked in on her. She knew she needed to get up and put on more make-up to cover a large bruise on her cheek, go down to dinner, and pretend everything was fine. But, the 18 year old reminded herself, everything was not fine. The two pink lines on that stick this morning were going to haunt her just as sure as his expression would. Garret, Her 'boyfriend', who in actuality was just her abuser, had ordered her she 'get rid of that /thing/' and when she told him she refused he punched her in the face and kicked her out of the apartment they shared, when she wasn't staying at home under the guise of her little sister asking her to come and stay. As she wiped the eye that didn't hurt too bad, her phone ringing made ice pool in her stomach, she didn't need to look to see who was calling.
(2) Jason looked at his old truck sitting there like a lawn ornament. It hadn't moved in 6 weeks, this was the first time he'd went outside since she left him and his life spiraled out of control. He still didn't want to be out here but his best friend Dave told him he was coming to get him, willing or by force. He pushed away the thoughts running around his head about just taking that truck and wrapping it around a telephone pole and instead looked as his Best friends 2001 malibu turned in to the driveway. Oh Ronnie...The man was really all that would get him out of the house. His girlfriend of 12 years had just left in the middle of the night and he was barely dealing.
