The year is 1965: a year thrumming with promise and hope and change all around the globe. But for two people, change seems out of the question. Their worlds are rigid, stuck, fixed—and completely contradictory to one another. Holly is a frazzled and reclusive mess from the wrong side of the tracks—well, the wrong side of everything, really—struggling to keep herself afloat as she copes with the loss of her nursing school scholarship two years before. Simon, on the other hand, is charming, arrogant, smart-mouthed and spoiled rotten—the only thing he has ever wanted for is a pair of proper lungs, as his own have been slowly ruined by the effects of Cystic Fibrosis. When Holly joins a peculiar non-profit agency in hope for nursing experience, their worlds are suddenly conjoined a little too close for comfort. Through bickering, old maps, collect calls and a great many letters, Holly and Simon are intertwined in a journey to find a future they never knew existed, suspended in the transience of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

When Eliana and her village are forced to relocate to a "camp" , heartache and pain are the only comforters to remind them they're still alive. Deaths, hard times, and a little bit of love are the only things she has to hold onto.. Will she make it out alive? --Based on The Holocaust. PLEASE NOTE- I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE EDITING FOR THIS PIECE AS OF 5/3/2016. It is NOT perfect. I wrote this story when I was 12, and NO it is not ALL historically accurate, but that is the point of a fiction piece. Do not tell me what is and isn't "realistic." I don't care.

The Holocaust was the genocide of about 6 million Jews during World War 2, by the Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler himself. These are diary entries by Jews who had lost everything to the Germans and were experiencing the deathly genocide. IMPORTANT NOTE: These short diary entries were written for a history project and had to be based off the movie we watched in class. There might be inaccurate information on this event throughout the entries, so don't use this as a knowledge resource.

74 years. 74 years this has continued, 74 years children have been sent to the slaughter. But it all ends here. The tributes for the 74th Games have been selected. The Star-Crossed lovers, the evasive red-haired scavenger, the sweet and innocent, and the vicious and bloodthirsty Careers. But something is amiss this year, and the tributes are about to be swept into a war much bigger than themselves. Not everything is as it seems, or as you may remember it. Now it's up to all the tributes to stop the Capitol, or die trying. Told from the perspective of Clove, Eleanor (District 4's tribute), Athena (Foxface), and Katniss. (Alternate Ending, Under Construction.)
