***Based on true events*** Story by: @Koreh_Kage Written by: @BlameSaiki Death doesn't always ruin love... Sometimes, it rekindles it. Brooke Johnson started her life like any other girl. She had goals, dreams, and expectations. Despite this, she never once imagined she would end up being a widow at 22. Brooke's engaged life was nothing short of stressful. No matter how many times she told herself that the hell was worth it... that she still loved him... all she could think about was for a way out. But she was never one to make those decisions on her own. So, when her fiance ends up dead, it's almost like a breath of fresh air for her. She can't believe it. Yet, despite the weight that's been lifted off her shoulders, it almost feels like she isn't allowed to move on... Like she's still stuck in that house with him. To her surprise, a rekindled romance is exactly what pulls her out of the continuing hell. A love she thought had once burned out. A love she never imagined would follow her into her adulthood. "I can't believe that out of everyone, you're the one who was meant for me from the start." A story about a love triangle... or maybe love square... focusing on the life of Brooke Johnson, who always had a habit of diving headfirst into toxic relationships and then struggling to get out. Follow Brooke as she navigates through young adulthood and tries to prove once and for all that there really is someone out there for everyone. *Warning: This story is rated MATURE for some steamy scenes, as well as, some much heavier ones.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."
