We all own memories. Some good, some bad. Some we want to keep and some we simply want to forget. The mistakes. Memories and mistakes, they're just a part of life. You can't escape them, they're always there. You've got a chance in life to succeed or to fail and you don't know where you're going to end up. This collection of short stories ranges between many different genres. They tell of things you want to remember and things you would much rather forget. Sometimes it's a combination of both. You remember your mistakes, you regret them, but you can never escape.

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.

Love. Friendship. Happiness. They're just things in my past. Anger. Hurt. Betrayal. They're the only things I know now. Revenge. Helplessness. And fear... What would you do if your past came back to haunt you? What could you do if you were just a broken teenage boy like me? Given the choice, would you choose the past or the present? Would you run? Or would you go with them...
