It's 1980 in a small town named Ostton. Only the millionaires can afford one of the big mansions that form the town, so young people leave to come back years later when they have already made a fortune. It was clear from a start that the town wasn't normal. People who don't know their neighbors, cover their windows and isolate in their own gigantic houses. Almost empty streets, only an ocasional butler going out to buy some food at the almost abandoned grocery store. Grace Dawson has decided to change that. A normal work most teenagers had at the time. Babysitting. She started by watching her little brother when her parents were too busy, and it all went great. But now, it's her first day babysitting for another family. What could go wrong? --------- Prompt #48

This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.
