Pine Lake

12//21//16

Hi, L. How's it hanging?

I'm gonna open every letter with some dumb phrase like 'How's it hanging?' That's my revenge. You skip town without me, and I annoy the shit out of the you that exists in my head.

We're even, right?

I don't even know where to send this thing, but I just really need to write something to you. That's depressing as fuck. I'm high and depressed as fuck.

If I ever see you again, I want to know everything. Everything.

--Pine Lake--

Two years ago, Natalie's best (and only) friend, Ellie, vanished. Now, there is nothing left for Natalie in Unionville, a town that doesn't even show up on Google Maps. She is ostracized at school by peers and teachers alike, her family insists on forcing her into managing their stock brokerage business, and she can't muster up the courage to make any new friends.

However, after a particularly rough day, Natalie heads to her favorite smoking spot in town. She had no idea that Sam, the coolest girl in school, also had plans to toke up behind the sign stating that 'PINE LAKE IS CLOSED.'

Natalie and Sam grow closer, eventually deciding to set out on a journey to find Ellie and leave this god-forsaken town far behind them.

Unbeknownst to them, Unionville holds far more secrets than they had originally thought. Secrets that threaten to ensnare the two in the clutches of the town, secrets that intersect with Ellie's whereabouts, secrets that could potentially end both Sam and Natalie's lives before they even got to live them.

This story is rated Teen+, which I only mention so that all the young ones out there know how cool they are for reading it.

The story includes heavy profanity, marijuana use, alcohol use, and girlxgirl romance. (There will be some romance scenes, but no overt descriptions of, ya know, banging). There's also some depictions of school bullying and loneliness.

Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, get in, my dudes!
