Kelly looked at the piece of meat he'd just picked up. He looked at the platter, still half full of roasted meat, he looked at the faces around him, and a feeling rose within him that he had no idea how to deal with, a feeling of utter bewilderment and confusion. It was as if a thought and an awareness was trying to dawn in his mind, simultaneously as he was trying to deny to himself a sudden, horrifying realisation. "I don't understand," he repeated for the third time. This might have been a lie or might not. Kelly wasn't sure. All he was sure of was his heart thundering loudly. This is the story of Kelly, silver dragon and adoptive son of the god Honess, and how he is supported to learn to live with something that stamps an indelible horror and grief onto his mind and thrusts him into a role no one would ever want. I've written a true introduction in order that it can be enjoyed without prior reading, but you might enjoy the short tales in Dragon Lives about Kelly (there are three of them which all have 'Kelly' in the title). Chapter 18 of the story Immortality describes Kelly's birth. Following the main part of this story will be some detailed epilogues, two of which will also be broken up into chapters. Due to the central theme of this story it is most definitely only suitable for adults, however nothing is described too gratuitously and the more grotesque sections are more talked about rather than overtly described. I did originally mark the story as mature but with hindsight I felt this was unnecessary and so have removed the mature marker. Note that the cover image does not belong to me.

These poems live in the space between breathing and being alive-about loneliness, endurance, and the ache to finally feel free enough to live.

Closer to Me Madelyne ma siedemnaście lat i doskonale opanowała sztukę trzymania ludzi na dystans. Nowy dom, nowa rodzina i nowe miasto miały być tylko kolejną zmianą, przez którą po prostu trzeba przejść - bez emocji, bez przywiązań, bez oczekiwań. Ale nowa rzeczywistość nie zawsze daje się kontrolować. Wśród obcych korytarzy, codziennych rozmów i ludzi, którzy nieświadomie zaczynają być coraz bliżej, Madelyne musi zmierzyć się z pytaniem, którego od dawna unikała: czy bliskość naprawdę zawsze kończy się bólem? Czy da się zaufać innym, nie tracąc siebie? I czy można pozwolić komuś podejść bliżej, kiedy serce wciąż pamięta moment, w którym zostało złamane? Closer to Me to opowieść o dystansie i potrzebie bliskości, o powolnym oswajaniu emocji i relacjach, które nie zawsze pojawiają się wtedy, gdy jesteśmy na nie gotowi - ale dokładnie wtedy, gdy są nam najbardziej potrzebne.

TRIGGER WARNING, SELF HARM Years ago, when I first started to fight against my mental illness, I wrote about it. I put it in a document, dated every new entry and sometimes even added pictures. I wanted to show myself that I was getting better. That things would get better. And I needed a place to write off all my thoughts, to empty my head. After some time, I started writing my story on a blog, and now I'm turning it into a Wattpad book. This is my own story. It won't always be pretty, there will be ups and downs. And it's still not finished. But I'm still living, breathing and I do my best to be proud of myself and enjoy life.

What you are about to read is a love story. Let me prepare you in advance, this story will not end the way that you expect. When we met, I was young and had never experienced real love. He was older and charismatic, I never stood a chance. He was sweet and funny, everyone loved and respected him. On the surface he was everything I could ever want and for a while, everything was like a dream. But like all dreams, it came to an end. Somewhere along the line something changed, something that to this day I still can't pinpoint. The names in this story don't matter, because this story could happen to anyone. It's messy and complicated, a whirlwind of beauty and pain that created something that had never existed, something that never will again. It's been many years, but it's time for this story, my story, to be heard.
