Carousel Stories

In a world where desire is a labyrinth and truth wears a mask, Velvet Nocturne invites you past the velvet curtain-into a carnival of obsession, illusion, and erotic undoing. Lark is a legendary haunted body painter. She has a shadowy past. Then she receives a strange and cryptic invitation one day- "Paint your way out of the dream." And thus begins her descent into Nocturne-an underground surrealistic wonderland housing a secret psychological game, each gruesome level of which lays Lark bare, emotionally and sensually. There she meets Vale-the cold steel-eyed architect of the game. Cool and cruel with the charm of control, Vale has shaped her world to be unbreakable. She never invited Lark. And yet she cannot seem to delete her. The erotic trials dissolve the line between performance and truth as Lark and Vale become adrift in a push and-pull of dominance, vulnerability, and forbidden intimacy. Each challenge-the room of mirrors, roulette of secrets, marionette's dance-rips apart the thin veil of their identities and asks: Do they fall in love or is the game rewriting them?

This is a poem I written based off of my favorite book of all time! This is Holden Caulfield feeling terrible for his little sister, Pheobe, because of how innocent she is compared to the "phonies" he has met throughout his life. I used a carousel for the cover because at the end, Pheobe rides the carousel; Holden thinks about how she is growing up soon. The title is called Catcher in the Rye because Holden wants to catch little children off the cliff. It's a motif in the book meaning that he is keeping them from growing up and changing. This book has changed my life. It has really shaped me into a better person. It has also inspired me to read more and to become an English teacher. You should definitely read it. Yes, this book has a lot of profanity and drug use, but it is worth reading.The writing and message is just so beautiful. I cried at the end of the book. It's just so amazing!!!!

I'll introduce myself, Hi! My name is... what you want it to be... I will talk about my present... I'll talk about now. I know you might remember a past from my life but... this is not a continue... it's my new beginning... With a new experience... A new feeling... A new me (NM for short)... (If you were wondering: No, you don't need to read the previous story to know something about this since as mentioned earlier... it's a new beginning.) I guess this new experience wasn't as I expected. That innocence from my brain has left me. Now I get it, now I understand. And I've grown from all of it. Now I know our "forever was a dare from the universe" not a truth. (I honestly hope I can someday forget about you and never even recall ever loving you, I hope someday you rot in my memory just like all of my childhood harsh memories have. I hope one day you're gone from my brain and my past so I wrote this book to clean my memory and NEVER REREAD THIS BOOK AGAIN like a closed door to that "rotten memory").
