FEAR

“I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.” – Yann Martel, Life of Pi.

Fear. Fear of the outside world. Fear of people. Fear of life. Fear of yourself... Vanessa is scared. A victim of the terror of the outside world, she locked herself inside an abandoned TESCO’s and hasn’t moved for 3 years. Nobody noticed until a boy and a strange piece of glass change everything. Will it get better, or will fear and memories take over...?

My name is Vanessa. I’m 16. There isn’t much else I can tell you. My appearance? Whatever you are thinking, it’s probably worse. I’m not anything special, but I’ve been told my story is. So here it is...

This is my first proper Wattpad story, so it's not AMAZING... I've put it under romance because I really don't know what catergory it fits into, and I STILL don't understand the whole tag thingy, but yeah. If someone wants to make me a cover, message me. Oh, and please don't read this story if you know me in real life because I Dont Want You To!

I also don't know what to rate it, but I'd say that I might swear a bit, and there will be depressing subjects througout so......you decide. Just don't come hating on me because it's 'not appropriate'. It's LIFE -.-

TADA! ENJOY! READ!
