Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were kingdoms. Sentences piece together words, but stories give you life. Shackles and bars can keep you captive, but cells in your mind can keep you from escaping.
They were like sand. One wanted love, one needed freedom, but like sandcastles, it eventually crumbles.

I never said I hate you (COMPLETE)
A love story ....is not a collection of perfect moments with a romantic beginning and a happy ending. It is about moments of insanity, moments of craziness, unreasonable fights, illogical arguments, crossing lines and putting up with "out of the blue" erratic mood swings. Being in love is not about feeling safe and feeling sure about the future. It's about breaking you, shattering you, shuddering every single bone and pulsating every single nerve in our body and still making your bond stronger each day. It is about being vulnerable, uncertain, susceptible and still madly in love. So don't fear love when it comes, simply because it makes you vulnerable and don't be surprised when it leaves either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it. It might last for a few minutes, few days, weeks, months or years and then it might surprise you and last you a lifetime.Complete

Is This The End?
I had been living in this dystopian universe my whole life. We lived simple, meaningless lives. I wasn't sad, merely dissatisfied. No one here was ever sad. The Center, which was our government, forced us to take a pill every morning to make sure we were always happy and healthy. For most of our lives we lived at home with our odd families that the government stuck us into as babies. Usually five children were put into each household. We grew up together in a single house, raised and taught by a robot even though none of us were related. We lived at home with limitless entertainment in the form of advanced technologies. We had one day of the week for shopping, one day for going out and one day for labor. On labor days we were assigned a job and had to complete it in order to gain money for the week. Everyone got the same amount no matter the job. If you didn't show up for these jobs there were grave consequences. The Center often used torture as a method of punishment, or so we were told. No one close to me had ever actually been punished by The Center though. It was incredibly rare. Most of us lived our lives as good little pawns doing nothing more than eating, sleeping and entertaining ourselves. But one day, my regular boring life changed...Complete
