[AN ENGLISH ONE SHOT STORY] 'All we have is now.' In the near distant future where technology is almost abundant to everyone anywhere how could one person distinguish what is virtual and what is reality? Could technology replace everything that a human lacks? It is true that humans perfected technology, from programming, engineering and design. They build such wonderful craft to make life easier, to connect people around the globe; 'to have the world in the palm of your hand.' But there's one fact that even technology couldn't fill in, for humans are still flawed and a void in a person's heart isn't the same as how technology demands a software and hardware update. In this new world, how could one person cope up? How could one person catch up to this fast phased generation? Will you still choose to be the person you were? Or will you choose to upgrade yourself setting aside what machines don't have... Aesthetic emotions. Aesthetic connection. Aesthetic Memories. Completed : 01.28.21 A One Shot Story by Hannah Redspring (aka Scarlett Summers) [PUBLISHED IN WATTPAD ONLY]

"Eldest daughters and eldest sons don't work out. Because at the end of the day, both of them have to choose between family and love." For Lila, love was never a fairytale--- it was an obligation. Elliot was the safe, devoted sanctuary chosen by her family, a man who wants to take the steering wheel of her life so she never has to worry again. And then, there is Gideon, the awkward marine student she caught cheating, a man who doesn't offer a cinematic rescue, yet was the one who understands the exhausting roads she walks before she could even say a word. When the heavy expectations of being the eldest child threaten to sink her future, Lila is forced to confront her deepest uncertainties. One man holds a piece of her past, while the other shares the exact same burdens of her present. Standing on the same ground of love, family, and happiness, Lila must discover what happens when duty clashes with a love that refuses to let go. 06.28.26
