Yaprak; küçükken, markette annesinden sürpriz yumurta istediği için bulgur reyonuna sıkıştırılıp çimdiklenenler, ilkokul önlüğünün altına eşofman giyip okula gidenler, yeşil silgisini diş izi yapanlar ve kırmızı kapaklı tüm dersler kitabının saman sayfalarını silerken yırtanlar kadar sıradan bir kız çocuğuyken; birlikte büyüdüğü dört çılgın erkek arkadaşı yüzünden akranlarından biraz farklı bir kız haline gelmiştir. Dünyası, on iki yıllık dostları, gamzeli kahramanı Ali, tek ideolojisi 3P (pizza, pijama, pislik) üzerine kurulu bir çılgın, Oğuz, sevgilisini kendi vesikalık resminden bile kıskanan demirli, Gökhan ve notları toplamda bile 100'e ulaşamayan çorap fetişisti tatlı çapkın Sinan'dan ibarettir. Kalbi dördüyle tıka basa dolu, hayatı onlarla rengârenk olduğu için aşka ne inancı vardır ne de ihtiyacı... Ama bir gün rutin (!) hayatı, doğum gününde gelen bir paket ile tümden değişir. Paketin içinde, gizemli bir âşıktan gelen, kızımızın asla giymeyeceği türden gösterişli bir elbise ve içinde de bir not vardır. 'İçindeki prensesi öldürmeye çalışsan da, o can çekişerek içinde bir yerde saklanmayı başarıyor. Bu, içindeki prensese hediyem... Her ne kadar içindeki o yaramaz kız çocuğuna da aynı oranda âşık olsam da...'

In which empires fall, cities burn, and men and women drop like scattering petals of the dying cherry trees.

When you fold a piece of paper, you're essentially changing the memory of that piece Under the dim light of my desk lamp, I took the square piece of fuchsia paper and laid it on the table. Flipping it over to the reverse blank side, I fished out a pen from the depths of my pencil case. Pen between my fingers, I contemplated writing what I really wanted to relay. My true thoughts. These meaningless feelings. Inhaling deeply, my hand quivered as I tried to control the strokes on the thin sheet of paper. "Please forget about this." I wrote, in minute handwriting. I then started to fold the paper up with my clumsy fingers. Over the reverse side I made a crease, over the inverse side I made a crease. I folded a corner, turned a flap inside out. I smoothed out the paper on the table, and finally dared to take a peek at what I had created. The end product I received was a horribly disfigured cherry blossom. Imperfect, ruined and ugly. Just like my imperfect, ruined, and ugly soul. -Cover background by Avwyn from Deviantart, all credit goes to the artist- -Cover edited by me-

There was no sailboat for me to sail away. There was no tunnel of a wave to ride through. There was no lighthouse to guide me out of the storm. Maybe I thought I was getting better but I wasn't.

"He was a smoker. She asked him why. He said it was his slow suicide." - REVIEWS: "Slow Suicide is one of the best books that I've read. A beautiful story of two strangers that befriend each other and it soon became love. Shows that you can brighten someone's day with just a simple greeting or maybe getting to know them. Cig and Rainy are a beautiful pair that brings light into the darkness and turns night into day with their love story." -@Kaybae1212 "A touching story of true love told through small, sweet encounters. So many twists and turns that you will never see coming. A beautiful and safe love story overall that will leave you in tears! (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)" -@Squirtle301 "Slow Suicide will make your emotions spin like the twists and turns of this story. Each chapter will make you wonder what will happen next. As a person who's not a fan of reading romance, this was definitely out of this world like no other. Filled with despair, romance, heartbreak, and twists, you would be questioning life even more. This is truly a must read. The author has truly captured my attention throughout the entire story, as every chapter is like a beautiful structure built in with the words that help me envision what love can evolve in." -@Hope-Mist - Book 1 in the "Pure Love Tales" series. Highest rank: #8 in Short Story.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
