When the fog that comes with lieng becomes so thing you can no longer see your own reflection in the mirror only the lie

Fraud, data, and human trafficking. Where do you find the truth when all you have is mud?

In this world full of plastics, most creatures choose to join the bandwagon. Azure chose to stay where she is to survive the hurdles of the cruel reality. Incidentally, she met Acadia who wants nothing but to have those beautiful wings to fly. Would they choose the beautiful lie or the ugly truth?

This is a story that I hope will give people the strength to keep going through hard times in their lives, when even truth seems like a mistake. I want people to know that granted I am still living through this experience and even though this story has yet to have a conclusion with the truth prevailing, there were some small stories in between that the truth has prevailed as I know it will in the end. My daughter is proof of that. Out of all of this after months of her not talking to me, finally she was able to see Jack for his B.S and came home to me. Telling me the truth hopefully in enough time to save me from prison. The truth is what saved our relationship and for anyone who knows Angel and I, She might be my daughter and being friends with your children is frowned upon, however she was always, still is, and always will be, MY BEST FRIEND!

My entry for the #homebeforedarkcontest I published this book twice on this account, and another one. This account cannot win the contest, so, this copy is just for reading. My other account, ScarlettATracy, does have a shot at winning this contest, so, please read this book over there if you want to help out by getting my short story to the top of the list! Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? Have you ever wondered what comes after death? Scarlett Baker was only 14 when she was tragically killed in a robbery. Her soul was erased from her body for exactly 47 minutes until, she was brought back to life. But durning the time she was dead, she discovered secrets were being kept from her, and her entire nation. What will she do when she realizes the future of her world depends on her unveiling these lies about death? Disclaimer : This has nothing to do with suicide. It's simply saying that heaven is better than earth. And also, for those whom know me personally, I chose the name Scarlett because I couldn't think of any other name.

This is the true story of the moment I lost my best friend due to one horrible lie.

A confession of truth. My journey of self discovery in less than 500 words.

Most people now a days are quick to judge a book by only its cover upon first glance. One of the oldest sayings that I can remember is "Don't judge a book by its cover" Growing up I never knew that even though I truly agreed with that saying I now more then ever would cherish it. As I watch so many children struggle with mental illnesses and know deep down inside that they are just children trapped inside their own minds and not the monsters they are perceived to be.
