Predetermined Stories

In the opulent world of high society, Vivienne Adelaide Collymore finds herself strangled by her predetermined fate; an entanglement. As a conscientious Aviation Management student, her aspirations soar high above the constraints imposed by her prestigious lineage. However, fate's iron grip tightens when she learns of her preordained betrothal to Zephyrion Jace Sinclair, a scion of a rival family equally steeped in wealth and influence. Trapped within the suffocating confines of familial expectations and the oppressive grip of tradition, Vivienne and Zephyrion navigate a harrowing puppetry of existence, ensnared by the tyrannical ambitions of their progenitors. Will they succumb to the dictates of their lineage, or dare to defy fate's decree and carve their own path in the rarified atmosphere of entitlement and anticipation?

I like the idea of believing there's a higher power, whether it be God, fate, destiny or a grand design and plan, surely we, humans and life can't just be random? There must be something more? But on the other side of the coin maybe we use fate as an excuse- maybe we are more in control of our fate than we like to admit. But we're afraid to affirm this fact because it means we're responsible for the mistakes and wrong choices we've made. But if we're more in control of our own fate than we realise- then we have infinite potential. This poems about all these 'big question' musings...

"The biggest Risk To Take is Not Taking Any at All"- Mark Zuckerberg Starla May remembers nothing of being a happy child. Since 9 years of age, she had been locked up in the smallest cavity of a test room. Knowing nothing of the freedom of humans and knowing nothing of the life of a child, she knew everything about death, blood, despair and hopelessness.. The first day in the chamber was the worst. Screams and shrills were far from hard to hear, it was obvious kids we're being mutilated and drugged. The second week was the week she was introduced to her new home. An injection, everyone's still alive. Another; the Plague. "They died. I didn't." ~~~ Mild Language and may be scenes of gore and horror ... enjoy :)
