This is my own personal story. It is still in the beginning stages and is subject to change, deletion and plot holes! Hope you enjoy it and have as much fun finding flaws as when you read it. The basic plot is this. Seventeen-year-old Chase Storm has a normal life, until one day his whole world comes crashing down. He awakes on a strange world full of wonders and evils alike. In the epic coming of age story, Chase is faced with love, adversity, and ultimately a choice. A choice that will be the defining moment for him, and everyone he loves.

They say you don't remember a lot from when you are young. That all you have are feelings and emotions. But I know that isn't true. I remember my mother's touch, the tender way she held me. I remember the urgency in her eyes, the sound of her terrified screams piercing the air. I remember her last words and the men dragging her away. My name is Sephora Baxter and this is the story of how one night changed my life forever. What do you do when everything you know about your life isn't real?

When you have shared you life with someone for 45 years, how do you cope with their death? Do you wallow in pity, blame the universe, ask your daughters for help or ditch them to visit Hawaii alone at 75? Or all of these? When the only person you have truly ever loved dumps you, what do you do? Of course, you just take the Hawaii vacation for two and turn it into a solo trip! A little too late self-discovery trip by an old lady turns into a lesson in letting go when she meets a young man who reminds her of her late partner and makes her wish to have a son like that. Crippled by personal losses, they teach each other that life may be worth living after all. Join them, you may learn something about yourself along the way. ***SELECTED FOR THE "LongList" OF THE General Fiction CATEGORY OF @YourStoryIndia COMPETITION*** ***General Fiction- #111***
