I placed my pen down, looking down at the page. I stood up from my chair, walking to my calendar. I stared at it, absently reaching down and picking up my red marker. I marked today, June first, with a big circle, dropping the marker back onto the desk. I stared at the calendar with a blank face, at today's date.

I reached up, yanking it off my wall, and proceeded to rip out page after page. I ripped out every page leading up to June, then threw the remaining calendar pages onto my desk. I held January through May thoroughly in my hand, then started to rip them. I ripped them into tiny pieces, letting out frustrated cries as the pieces hit the ground silently.

The last piece slipped out from between my fingers, joining the rest. I sat on my bed, then, crying into my hands. I cried for a few minutes, then removed my hands, looking at the pile. All that was legible was the year, and I stared at it again.

1990

It's been five years since it happened. Five years to this day.

I stood up again, sniffling heavily, wiping under my nose. I picked my jacket up, storming out of my room. I left the ripped paper on my floor, leaving as quickly as possible.

Five years since it happened. Five years since I saw it. Five years since I lost my sanity.

Hello everyone! I really hope you liked the prologue, and I really hope it left you shook.

First of all, I'd just like to remind everyone that the story is officially released on August 30. I won't be regularly updating until then! This is more of a teaser to keep you at bay.
Or maybe just to make you even more excited.
Both.

Also! I'd like to give a HUGE happy birthday to two of my readers.
lillyg6224 who is a new reader! Just finished TGWP not long ago, actually.
And xikarinaix who is a long term reader! One of my first enthusiastic readers and a good friend.
I love you both, and happy birthday!

I love you all! Can't wait to share the rest of this story with you.

Hi everyone! This is Apple, the author.
I would like to inform everyone that I'm in the process of completely rewriting this trilogy. I will be publishing them someday, no idea when, as completely new books on my profile.
Now, of course, I will be leaving the old versions up. For both myself and the people who have great love and nostalgia for these versions.
I originally intended on unpublishing this one (considering it's incomplete) and just starting completely new! But ultimately decided that was not the direction I wanted to go in.
Therefore, I will be leaving this story(what exists of it) up on my account! It will be labeled discontinued. And depending on when you see this note, the new story may even be up and going.
Just wanted to let anyone who may come around know what's going on!
Thank you immensely for reading ♡
