The Lost ft. 1Delta

Life isn't about love. It isn't about those small, beautiful things: the warm smells from bakeries, the delicate purr of the cat on your lap. No, life is about surviving. And if anyone knows anything about surviving, it would be George Oakley.

This story is a collaboration with 1Delta, the author of the Daedelus Trilogy. Don't remove this story because it doesn't match it's genre yet -- it is a work in progress. Also, what counts as a short story? If this is a bit above 20 pages is that too long? What section of the Bible lays this down? Where's the ancient universal law that sets this standard?
If you bother to hmu to answer this Wattpad, you might as well slap my story on the featured page or I _will_ be greatly dissapointed. Not to be a Kanye West or anything, but this single short story is a culmination of more talent than Wattpad's fan fiction army has generated in the entirety of the site.
