A place of escape,to forget everything.To discard of trashed memories and make new ones.A safe house for teenagers like you and i,we hide,we play.We cry.
We find comfort in each others sadness and jealousy in people's happiness.They call us sick and twisted,messed up minds of modern society.But we are simply normal,the average living of today's world.Parading are flaws like high earned meddles is what we do best.Our eyes glow with mischief as the burning fires dance under the stark moonlight.
The house of gold is what we call our refuge,our safe place to not hide but be our true selves,they say we are all broken but truthfully they envy our ability to see more of the word.The thin,sheet-like layers are visible in our eyes.They don't know what we are capable of,neither do we.So we travel from far distances to seek answers to our never solved questions,we run to the house of gold begging for help.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
The Secret of Soul
“I tucked my light brown hair behind my ear and placed on my warm, light blue winter jacket and headed for the woods. He was here, breathing down my neck, yet not here at all. I felt his presence consume me, yet I felt nothing. The cold air whipped into my face and I looking into the July snow. “Whitney,” the spirits whispered. He was here.” What happens when one era ends and another begins? Whitney woke up from her afternoon nap when her best friend Sarah called. Apparently, the world was ending, despite the obvious knowledge it wasn't, and Sarah wanted to party. Whitney was always the third wheel when it came to Sarah and her boyfriend Jack, and was really not up for it, but she threw on some clothes and met them at the beach. Whitney met them, and after hours of torture, ran away from them after almost drinking cow blood. On her run, she saved lives and saw the world beginning to change. She ends the escape at Courtney's house, a local teen, who was drunk with her best friends. Unfortunately, the Ouija board "joke" turned into a true spell that slowly caused the human race to disintegrate and the rise of supernatural beings to become a reality. I dedicate this story to my best friend Zoe. Zoe, you're a constant inspiration for this and I love you forever for it!!!Complete
