We all have our sad stories. They may be simplistic, merciful and tolerable. You may have an ache that eventually leaves you as time wears on, but nothing more. Others are more complex. They're more intense, numbing your body until you can't feel anything except the airless oxygen pumping through your veins. And only the right words will bring you crashing back down to the earth, where the stars are nothing but lights in the sky, not the mesmerizing burning embers they used to be. The clouds will no longer be the simpleminded shapes you used to see as you laid on your back, soaking up the sun that to you is now just an object in the sky. These sad stories affect us, changing our image and how we view the world. Only when we learn to accept that there are people out there willing to help do we finally try to let go of the pain that has been bottled up inside of us for so long. Only when others open their arms and welcome us in do we accept the affection dished out to us by the universe. It's just that sometimes the loss comes before the love.

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
