"Life has this tendency to get in the way and shit on you from time to time, but no matter what, I still have music, you know?" He took a breath after saying this. The brown of his eyes reflected the city light clearer than the water ever had. "Yeah," I said, my breath catching as he looked into the distance of the city. It was then I realised that insomnia didn't keep me from dreaming; I had insomnia because I was dreaming. Reya has insomnia, so she walks at night. With her thoughts racing too fast to catch up to, she finds herself taking in the city she loves every night to distract herself. With the overstimulation, she finds herself relaxed and at home. Harry lives everywhere in the city - or, rather, he lives nowhere. With an adventurous look at his roofless situation, he explores the entire city every night to find his next settlement for the next few hours. With the endless buildings and curves, he finds himself relaxed and yearning for home. When the two cross paths, it only takes one person to ask for the time to begin intertwining the lives of an extroverted introvert that loves the imperfect city and an easygoing free-spirit that has seen its entirety.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION In 1955, mixed-race Ethan Harper leaves his progressive hometown for a summer in Alabama where he's not welcome, except by resident free spirit, Juniper Jones. ***** After getting himself into a bout of trouble, 16-year-old Ethan Harper's parents send him to Ellison, Alabama, to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. But the year is 1955, and Alabama is a far cry from his beloved home of Arcadia, Washington. As much as it's hotter in temperature, it's colder in every other way, and Ethan learns the hard way that people see his mere existence as a threat. Amidst all the mayhem, a fiery, free-spirited, oddball walks into Ethan's life. Her name is Juniper Jones. She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery. With Juniper, Ethan can breathe, he can be, despite the incessant attention and bullying their newly formed friendship attracts. Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. * * * Being re-written completely as of May 14, 2021

"Sometimes happiness feels like a chore." A short story chronicling the relationships (and lack thereof) of Drew; in which nights and days are spent curled up in the tear-and-food-stained sheets, with and without the warmth of another living soul, because he has lived like this and he'll probably die like this -- whether he likes it or not. (As if life ever bothered to ask). Otherwise known as: Sleep is for the weak, and love is for those asleep. So Andrew shouldn't wonder why he's virtually a self-induced insomniac who might just very well die of loneliness one day.
