In the heart of the Riviera, on the coast of The City of Angels, a dark, graceful figure tenuously makes her way across a wall of cinder blocks. In one swift leap she lands on the wet sand below. She tilts her head up, breathes in the salty ocean air, and cautiously analyzes her surroundings. Her ears turn to listen to the the ocean's sounds. The air contains the mildly nostalgic fragrance of lilac. The pale moonlight pours into her vibrant, nearly ultraviolet eyes. Most of the citizens near the oasis have retired for the night, all but one young person. He is still awake, alone in his downstairs bedroom, dreaming, and watching the palm trees sway in the light, underneath of the stars. And as she returns to wandering along the coastline, she passes beside the complex of upper-middle class flats. Captivated by the one light left on, she alights on the window sill, and enters through the open window.

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.
