This is me. With no boundaries I reveal myself and hopefully save myself. I'm not sure whether I am writing this for you, or for me, but I hope it makes an impact none the less.

Kidnapped by a cult as a two week old baby Vernon is trying to escape. Now 14 years old he is on a mission to find his birth parents and tell the world about the cult's evil teachings with the help of a fallen angel. It is a quiet war, and he is the only one trying to fight it.

Several short stories that change point of view from character to character (Kenny, Sylvia, Jayson, and Mae Rose.) It follows the stories of their home lives and what they go through on a daily basis until things slowly come together. They will tell their collections, as their stories of 'tonight.'

This is what happened before I Used to Be, told in Isabelle's journal entries. I hope to flesh this out more as a complete narrative eventually, but this is what I have so far! I welcome comments, suggestions, and feedback. Thank you to @slaughteredvomitdoll and @raphaelshawn for your suggestions and feedback so far! :) Also thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and voted on I Used to Be!

When Anna is accepted into the prestigious Virginia Academy of Ballet, it looks like all of her dreams are going to come true. Anna's dance training, however, is complicated by the fact that she is struggling desperately to survive being a person she doesn't want to be. The one thing she is clear about is that she wants to be the perfect, thin ballet dancer. The more weight she loses, the less she cares about anything else, and that's just the way she wants it. This, she finds, is a much more attainable goal than the other, especially when she meets Isabelle. Isabelle Knight, a young ballet teacher and former professional ballet dancer, causes Anna's entire conception of herself to unravel, as does her physical and mental health. Meanwhile, Anna's situation at home with her alcoholic father, provides a constant trigger for her increasingly self-destructive behavior.

This is my entry for the December 2016 Ever After/Once Upon Winter Wonderland contest! Enjoy! :)
