The Boy and His Candle
“I just... I feel, I FEEL like I’m going crazy. I feel like I’m slowly fading away, out of reality.” Benjamin looks away from his therapist and takes off his glasses, something he does often. The idea that there is a barricade from what is in front of his eyes bothers him, even if it IS meant to help.

Feels Like Magic
There was a small, hidden village, full of spells and potions. In this beautiful, thriving community was a young boy named Jax. Jax was the only person in the village who was unhappy; the reason for this was that he had no heart. He was born without one, leaving him empty, cold, and distant. He had no care in the world, as he was numb. He didn’t care about the consequences of his actions.

Window Seat
It’s always been tough for me around this time of year. People say the high you feel from true love can be one that's hard to get rid of. That explains why I haven't been able to move on. I would sleep away the day in hopes to see her in my dreams. But my therapist told me excessive sleeping isn't healthy. I remember asking her if it's normal to wish you were dead just to be united with your partner. Her answer was one that I didn't want to hear but ultimately needed to because it was true. She said a life without love is not a life at all. She went on to say the love I lost and keep trying to recapture or relive is evidence that I still have more love to give. A part of me wants to believe her yet I can't help but feel like I would betray Eileen.
