Semi-autobiografical drabbles of a high-schooler in burnout alternating between a bleak everyday life and a whimsical (or is it?) dreaming experience. Featuring a struggling teenager with a tendency to philosophize (Amelia), an endearingly silly cat named Banjo and perhaps more characters to come. Author's Note: For the 2 people reading this, I have not abandoned this story. I am now on a trip to America and have had little time to write. New chapters are in the works!Complete
