Nicky is 22 years old and completely lost. Every day seems to be the same as the last and nothing seems to matter. Until one day in a chat room someone catches their attention and suddenly the entire world gets turned upside down.
This is the first original work I'm going to publish so if you have any advice or constructive criticism, please let me know.
I dedicate this story to a group of people who changed my life for the better in Oktober of 2017:
Tilly, Kate, Tay, Rose, Sam, Ruby, Nick, Jay, Moe, Will, and everyone else I love you all and I'll be forever grateful for having met you.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
