"The hardest part is letting go of your dreams." There comes a point in time when your life gets so fucked up, so out of control, that you begin to wonder if anything good is supposed to come from it at all. Gerard wondered this, because amidst a mess of terrible night terrors and an everlasting existential crisis, Frank comes into his life. After nearly two years of struggling against the vivid nightmares that follow him in his sleep, Gerard goes out to break the cycle in the only way he can really think of: attacking it at its very source. Of course, that's when he meets Frank, of all times. Gerard's fucked up and desperate, and nothing is going right for him at all. If the fact that a stranger he met at midnight is the only thing keeping him grounded and sane isn't sad, then what is? And to what extent is Gerard willing to go to ensure that his nightmares don't bother him anymore? What's the cost if he does? does this description even make sense // trigger warnings: graphic content, gore, mentions of death, smut // if there are any others, tell me, and i'll gladly add them :)

The problem with Matty, was that he could send shivers down people's spines with only a few words. Beatrice had known this from the beginning.

An advice book on how to successfully write POC characters by Wattpad authors. [Highest rank: #1 in Non-Fiction]

Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.
