INCANDESCENT

[in the author's own words]

Nothing ever felt right. He never felt whole. Then there was his family's demise, his mom's death and an involuntary move to Maine with his father.

It was supposed to be a fresh start. A bunch of "maybes". Maybe, he and his dad could mend their relationship. Maybe, he could finally be a kid. Maybe, he could finally have friends.

Though the move wasn't what he hoped for, somehow it was even better. He got everything he ever wanted and more. And even though past revelations changed his course of life, Rylie's never felt more alive.

Follow Rylie in his journey of mourning, self discovery through past and present unravellings, and friendship.

----------------------

"We were just a normal family.. behind closed doors though, silence filled the rooms. Our home always looked empty and not lived-in. Unobtrusively, the silence became knocks, knocks became bangs, bangs became shatters. What was once un-lived in became incandescent. The love was there but so was the seething resentment, the betrayal, the ire discourse and the sadness. It lived in the damaged furniture, the food-stained walls, the garbage bags filled with broken china. It lived piercingly loud in the dead air."
