I dive into my experience of social media. The allure, the addiction and alternatively; its capacity for goodness. A brief insight into social media as seen through the lens of a twenty-year-old whose adolescence was shaped and affected by the digital world we find ourselves amongst today.

My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

His voice was dangerous, daring me to laugh, and something about the rumbling in his throat compelled me to abide by his every demand. His words rolled through the air between us, and he moved so that his lips were next to my ear. I shuddered when his breath tickled my hairline.

Nestled in the Chicago suburbs rested the small, one school town of LaginaWood. A sleepy little city where teenagers drink, date, party, and hopefully study. Where citizens hail the Cubs without much reason, high school football is practically a religion--though is more often than not outdone by the annual school musical--and the occasional alpaca farm isn't a surprising sight. In fact, nothing came as a surprise to people of LaginaWood. Not the outcome of the 2016 World Series, not the casting of the latest musical, not the quarterback's numerous scholarship offers, and not the enrollment of new student, Cate Vadim. However, no one expected the thickening shadows gathering in corners, or the chill creeping through the town. Not even Cate. But she contended with it long ago, and she knows it'll only get worse. The shadows will only grow thicker, the air will only get colder. Unless she can stop it. Third Place Fantasy Winner of the Galactic Awards
