Never did a car move so swiftly as it did when Johnny Saia was behind the wheel, or at least that's what they say. Chaos erupts in a small town in America 1959 divided by wealth, religion, race and class when local legend Johnny Saia disappears planning to runaway leaving his friends to pick up the pieces. Throughout they day they encounters car theft, rumbles and drag races but that's the least of their problems. As everything seems to be falling apart they are forced to face the hard facts of life - things change and perhaps were never really what they seemed in the first place. This is a story not about  chasing the light but running away from the dark.

Laura's Illusion by RapidComet
34 parts Complete Mature
The story is about a young woman who moves to Chicago to start a career and new life. She keeps running into a young man who is himself on the verge of a breakout career in the music business. From the moment they meet their lives are never the same again. But...are they really together or is it just an illusion? Inspired by music of AVA. Note this was my first book started in 2012 finished 2014. It's comical to look back on this silly story. Because it started me into writing I felt the need to share it...I'm painfully aware of how it reads. I'm fond of the beginning but very thankful of how much I've grown as a person in the last decade.

"there were roses in my hair, rock and roll on blare and i was in trouble, no one could rock me like you could." tw - substance abuse, toxic relationships, eating disorders i am in no way glamorizing any of the triggers above. these are just key points in the story and shape the characters and their development, i want this story to be emotional, raw and real, but if these topics trigger you, please don't read this! if you or any loved ones are dealing with any of the things above, don't hesitate to ask for help from a trusted adult, friend or mental health professional

It's easy to run from your problems, but they inevitably catch up. Freedom. Adventure. No Restrictions. From birth, the human mind is tethered to these ideals. Threatening to run away as a kid to wanting to travel the world as an adult. It takes years to get a taste of these things, and when it finally comes, it's short-lived. Hayden, a fresh high school graduate with an itch for photography, something that wasn't mutually accepted by his mother. She always compared him to his military-serving older brother, Jack, who had set the standards of what was to be expected. In a last resort attempt, Hayden has to make the most significant choice of his life and does what he always threatened to do as a kid. Run away. With the help of a misfit-like individual, Hayden goes on an adventure of a lifetime. While unaware that his past is catching up to him. He'd inevitably have to decide how he wanted to live out the rest of his days, either as an office prisoner or a runaway.
