Under the glassy, dark pallor of a Manhattan sky, deep within the fall, Madison Avenue is teeming with people. Commuters and shoppers scurry past like frenzied ants, paying no attention to a woman who has been sitting there loitering for months on end. They pass her by paying no attention to the vacant stare and sullen expression wrapped around her worn features. She has no name. She is homeless, wandering the streets and denying any memory of the past and any hope for the future.

Though she finds no hope amongst the throng of uncaring faces around her, she is sat there for a very careful and deliberate purpose. One that will bring her closer to the daughter she left behind years ago and which at the same time will place both of their lives in mortal danger.

This is an excerpt of a full novel which is now available on Amazon. If you like to read further excerpts please leave a comment below.

LEFT HAND by BBglo33
28 parts Complete Mature
This is my very first... thing ever published. A story that is frankly likely to be boring for most people, but only those who won't have enough heart to detect deep emotions that personally pushed me to finally let you read it, hiding all alone between the lines and the little unconscious humor that Simon transmits to us by letting us dive into his head... It's about loneliness, sadness, regrets, relationships, love... Feelings. Some more confusing than others, some more violent than others, some more forbidden than others... But all as sincere as every line of this short story. I won't say more; I'll let you discover this... thing. Thanks in advance for clicking on LEFT HAND, and I hope you'll like it. I'm sure that right now you're somewhere quiet, relaxed and convinced that you know who you are, who your friends are, or the people closest to you... What they are going through, what is going on in their heads... I was like you... But I was wrong. °°°°° ⚠ Warning ⚠️ The story you are about to immerse yourself in is not fiction. It takes place approximately between June 17th and September 5th, 2003. Some events, dialogue, details, and characters have been added for dramatic purposes, but each chapter captures the essence of a real story, the story of the lives of people who actually existed (and who may still exist). This novel contains themes of depression, violent accidents, obsessive-compulsive disorder, verbal abuse, unconventional coital intimacy, drug use, and suicide. Reserved for mature audiences. Enjoy reading.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 & 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

Also, this book has mature themes such as explicit language, sexual content, and violence. It is intended for MATURE audiences only. ©2021 | AndiBlackbird Started: 1-15-21 Completed: 5-9-21

His life has been in pure survival mode. Work, pay bills, survive. But things only getting more complicated when he's ripped away from everything he's ever known. His mom, never the most put together woman has an affair with her married boss and gets pregnant. Now she's decided to move them both to Beverly Hills and into his place! With new step siblings that hate him before they've even met and a man that thinks he can just jump in and be his father, Max has had just about enough of everything. On top of all that he's starting up school again, and with these new fancy rich kids, Max feels even more suffocated and out of place then he did before. Will Max figure out his place or fall farther and farther into the background suffocating?
