Dust to Dust

Author's Note (Please Read Beforehand)

Hello all :)

I just wanted to give a few warnings about what you can expect from my writing, because it does include quite a few sensitive topics. 

There are graphic depictions of violence and gore throughout, along with a scene involving self harm, and another with implied self-harm. 

There are also a few mentions of implied suicide, though most of them aren't described in a large amount. Many character deaths unfold, some with death scenes, others not. 

This one isn't as bad, but there are two scenes with implied sexual content, but neither are described, and the next chapter comes along before anything can happen, because I preferably would not like to write them in detail. It is talked about several times though, not heavily, but mentioned. 

Examples of severe mental illnesses shown through several characters, mainly Asher and Jenny towards the end. 

Under-age drinking but that doesn't really matter idk.

This story is under major revision. I'm very displeased with how it turned out, but I love the characters with all my heart and want to make a good storyline for them, so I'm going to be re-writing the entire thing. I'm changing it to a first person viewpoint, because I usually do better with detail in that point. Same plot, same events, just major revision with details, and maybe a few tweaks in the storyline, but nothing too different. I want to give more insight on the ritual, because it came off as really sketchy and obscure, and I guess that's the point, but I want to show how much it means to Asher and how much thinking he's put into this, since it's the only real reason why he's still alive. He's the kind of person to constantly ramble about his obsessions, unhealthy or not, so I want to make him less secretive once he takes Jenny to the chapel for "the talk." He's also an extremely problematic and creepy guy, and I made him so you're supposed to feel sorry for him, but my intention wasn't pity. I want the reader to feel unsettled by Asher, he is the antagonist after all. So I'll be adding some extra traits and maybe some more in-depth descriptions in scenes to make him even creepier than he already is.

And that's pretty much it. Happy reading to yall who are still here :)

Update!!

Revisions are going really well! The full and improved version is approaching it's climax, I have a lot more to complete, but I can safely say that it'll be done soon enough. I might go back and make a few minors changes once the full revised version is done, but it'll be much more concise than the original release. I started this project when I was first getting into long-term writing projects, and wasn't great with detail, as well as third-person perspective being a massive struggle for me. So I'm switching it up a bit, and writing it from Jenny's perspective instead, it's a much more fluent method for me. Also, I'm having a cover made for me since I can't draw too well, so I'll give art credits to my awesome boyfriend who made it for me <3

I also plan on changing the title for the third time, I have no idea what to call this story but I'll figure it out eventually.
