The places, characters and happenings in this story are a pure work of imagination and not related whatsoever to any events in the real world.

These are oft musings whose basic idea is the product of my daydreaming on an average day, where little wisps of forgotten memories, incidents take shape of lines and feelings with a nostalgia felt right there. It's an attempt by a person to take up challenges, to rid myself off my morbid thinking and dive into an art that I wish to be evergreen and relatable to everyone in some way. Come and live in a world where rhythm takes plentiful of space!

A Romance Novel. {Ongoing} Louisa was a liar. Not because she wanted to be, but because survival demanded it. Keeping her real identity hidden meant freedom, and she had spent years making sure nobody got close enough to uncover the truth. Especially not men like John. Arrogant. Dangerously attractive. Emotionally unavailable. John didn't do love. Didn't do commitment. Didn't do second chances, not with the enemies circling him, and not with the secret he'd buried deep enough to forget it existed. But when a single lie ties their lives together, resisting each other becomes harder than either of them expected. Now the past is closing in, and Louisa has a choice: disappear again, or stay long enough to lose everything...including her heart. ~•~ Excerpt 💫: "Who are you really?" John asked quietly. Her heartbeat stuttered, his tone provoked a burning shiver in her bones. "You don't want the answer to that." "Try me." For the first time in years, Louisa looked afraid. ~•~ Would John want to stay if he knew she was a fraud? Could he remain by Louisa's side despite his own fears?

"You're delusional if you think everything is fine." Imagine having no say in how you act, look, or feel like or else face forever social rejection and judgement. How would you feel if every decision you made wasn't yours to make? Living in a world of chaos and corruption, everyone seems to feel that it's fine, like we're not all just some puppets tied up with strings, being made to do things against our will by those controlling the world around us. I'm sick and tired of being treated like nothing. I am more than that and I will not let them decide who I am. I will decide who I am, for, I am Brenna Lawson. I have been blind my entire life, since the day I was born and till the day I die. Or so, that was until some scientists in a lab discovered a cure for "blindness." But I'm not convinced they're completely truthful, sometimes the cure is worse than the disease and nothing is ever as it seems. =========================================== Written for JustWriteIt "a new life" Prompt. June 2019. Rated Mature for two scenes of Self Harm and for mild violence. (Better to be safe than deleted.)
