Luck May Love Us
To be honest, this story is actually my work for English class. In Unit 4, we have to go through Shakespeare and read Romeo and Juliet. We then would have either draw a comic, write a script, or a novella (short novel) base on the play, like take the basic of it. My friend - who help me edited for my other story - and I decided to do a novella since I already have experience in writing, and she believes that I can write. Since this also count at one of my work, I think why not upload it. Author note: In this project, we have to use a history accurate, a.k.a real world stuff. So thing that you hear in this story is real life fact. These event and rule certainly did once happen in the past. Also, I put mature tag because there are some really dark scene at the end. If you think it is not that graphic when finish it, please leave it at the comment section below. Copyright © 2016 by Dalian_HinoComplete
