    This describes a specific day in a way where it almost becomes an extended metaphor. Though it may be short, it still has deeper meaning behind it. It is up to you, the readers, to figure out what the author is trying to portray; however, you, the readers, can interpret it whatever you want.

    a collection of poems from the heart. these poems were written in times of either strong emotion or immense boredom. a creative outlet full of revealing truths and mysteries of humanity. all of this to aid in finding the answer to the most difficult question: "who am i?" putting yourself, your true self, out there is terrifying. you feel completely exposed. naked. but here i am. and this is me. completely exposed for you to see the reality of me. disclaimer: does include some mature topics that may be triggering for some but none of it is graphic. (this may include mentions of sex, self harm, abusive relationships, death, gender dysphoria, and drugs)

    "It was then that I realized something. He was like me, but... not. We don't share the same creature. But we both have one." After a falling out with her family, Thera Everhartt finds herself with a new, fresh start in Chugiak, Alaska, just thirty minutes northeast of Anchorage. She resonates with the cold, wooded, and secluded nature of the area after she finds herself to be a vampire. At least, that's how it feels to her. Thera meets Noah, who shares a similar, yet opposite monster with her: a werewolf. They share their troubles, which caused the monsters in the first place to happen, and find themselves to be in a symbiotic friendship where they help each other with their opposite struggles. Two hurt people that only understand each other. If the synopsis was confusing, the werewolves and vampires represent what happens to people as they go through traumatic and sad events throughout life! This often leads them to be misunderstood at times. The characters do not turn into werewolves and vampires, as they are extended metaphors for what happens to some people after traumatic parts of life. However, the supernatural action will still be incorporated! If you are interested in a relatable, clean, supernatural romance with a slight love triangle, romantic tension, and an extended metaphor, this is for you! Please enjoy! Book I of The Crimson Chapter Genre(s): Fiction, Supernatural Romance, Drama, Coming-of-Age, Young Adult Thank you!!!

    Glass is dangerous. It has sharp edges that can slice your fragile skin. You can see your reflection in it. The things you don't want to remember suddenly come flooding back and there is nothing that you can do about it. All because of a piece of glass. Relationships can be torturous. Leaving people heartbroken and lonely. They can imprint your mind forever. You never want to look back at the relationship because of everything that went wrong. So why is a piece of glass different from a relationship? That's the thing! They're not that different after all.

    Four paths to chose. Which would you have picked? What life do you prefer? A planned out, preset, predictable and safe life, yet hidden under the mirage of peace is conformity? A life spent in regret? A life repeating the same mistakes you have already made? Or... something else? Something unknown, free, and a place spent creating new mistakes.
