Young Adult
The Best Fantasy
You may have already read one of my stories and realized that my childhood in a small WI town was not the greatest. Reading is the one thing that probably saved my life and sanity. I was poor, never had a ride anywhere and everybody knew about my family. Not in a good way, though. They all knew Dad was a drunk and Mom was disabled and weak. The kids in town were mean and the adults wouldn't look me in the eye. My brothers and sister were years older than me, so I lived alone with my disabled mother. I am not sure who took care of who. By the time I was in kindergarten she had decided she had no reason left to live and she just sat in her chair all day watching television and smoking Winston's. I spent a huge part of my time at the public library in my town. It was quiet, safe and had all the books with all my friends there waiting for me in my imagination. I thought it was the most beautiful place on earth.

Dreamer - Chapter 5
Disclaimer: This story has multiple parts. You can find the previous chapter here. I quickly turned around in self defense expecting to see Rev standing right behind me, waiting for the perfect time to grab ahold of me and shove me back into that stupid truck of his but no one was there. Assuming I was just imagining scenarios in my head, I continued to walk towards the direction from before.

Bowie and The Witch
My phone buzzes as I walk up the steps of my friends' apartment building. It's an aesthetic checkered staircase with velvet green walls and the lights leading me to her door are bright but not too bright. Before I knock, I pull out my phone.

iv ☆ THE BOY IN BLACK APPROXIMATELY TEN hours passed before Sid woke, the sun rays peeking in through the window before now visibly reduced. She sat up and stretched, letting her eyes adjust to the light in the room before making eye contact with a boy in black who was leaning against her doorway.

Fatal
Part One: The Diagnosis I was 18 months when my parents got the news. This diagnosis would be apart of me for the rest of my life well what little life I had. You might be wondering what it was, the illness to change my life for ever. Well I wont drag on like some other stories I had Cystic fibrosis more commonly known as CF. The way the doctors came to the conclusion that I did in fact have CF at such a young age was due to my weight. See one of the more commonly know symptoms was low weight even if the child or in my case toddler has a decent appetite. According to my mom and multiple doctors my appetite should of made me over weight but, I was only the size of an average 12 month baby. That symptom with several tests conformed that I had CF.

ii ☆ GRIEF ACTS WORSE AT NIGHT 7:26 PM NEARLY AN hour passed before Griffin finally pulled up to Sid’s house. Without a word, he pulled her into a hug, his heart going out to her. “Thank you,” she whispered, leaning into him. She was grateful that he’d been there for her all day long, always seeming to care about how she was feeling in every situation that challenged her right to grieve. She wanted to forget her loss for a bit. Just a few hours. But it seemed like when she pushed it to the back of her mind, somehow the universe figured out a way to remind her.

iii ☆ WELCOME TO GLITTERA FALLS SID FURROWED her eyebrows in confusion at the stranger’s words. “Who are you and who is we?” He tilted his head at her question, seeming to slip into another personality entirely. He cleared his throat, a wide grin spreading across his face.
