"I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.
-Edgar Allen Poe
Thank you for choosing to read When Our Paths Crossed. I hope you enjoy the story, but I would first like to note that this is a work of fiction. All the characters are created for this story and do not have any connections to real-life people.
Admittedly, I was supposed to start this story in September, but I couldn't wait that long! I am way too excited to withhold this story from you!
This is my second story on Wattpad, and I am so thrilled to be able to share it. I've been challenging myself by writing stories that I don't normally write. When Our Paths Crossed will be very different for me in the sense that I've never written anything with quite so heavy of content. Also, warning, there is a lot of swearing in this book! Atlas swears like a trucker, as the saying goes! Regardless, this story has been beckoning me, and I know something is promising about it.
I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about my story, so please, comment away!
