WINNER: WATTPAD ROMANCE LETTERS TO LOVE, TIME AND DEATH COMPETITION Inspired by the film Collateral Beauty, these 500 words flashes are based on the poem cycle "Night Thoughts" by Edward Young (c.1745) and illustrated by William Blake in 1794. This work was selected to be included in the #CollateralBeauty collection.

This is my first 'book' here and I really had no clue so this title is meaningless, it's something I just came up with spontaneously and this was the peak of my creativity and it's pretty lame but the cover is nice so I don't feel like changing it. Some of the things were written when I was 14 so pardon the cringe but I believe the latter works show considerable improvement. Cover credits @Areeb_Ahmad

If life is but a dream, I will never achieve lucidity. #6 in Poetry (2/14/2022) Runner-Up in the Metaphorically Spoken category of the Summer Sun Awards, 2016 Cover by Seth Yurchisin (IG: @sjyurchisin Note that none of the image/multimedia features used in this work were made by me.

When Rena meets Brent, he is a dream come true. He is a real gentleman, funny, caring and even her overly protective father likes him. But then, she discovers a different side of Brent - a violent side that scares her. Promising that this had been a one time slip up, she forgives him. After all, he is the love of her life. She dosn't see the signs -- the controlling, the alienation from her friends and dad, the obsession he has with her. She is like putty in his hands. Over time, she learns about the Cycle of Abuse the hard way and she even tries to break free. But in the end, she only sees one way out and it will likely cost her everything. Best Ranking: #2 in ChickLit Winner of the 1st Corner Booth contest Authors Note: This is a story about domestic violence and can be disturbing at times. Even though the people in this book are fictional, abuse at the hands of a loved one is real. It is something that can happen to any of us, even to teenagers like Rena. Please do not read this book if you find this topic disturbing. It is not designed to upset anyone but to raise awareness.
