Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.

As It Crashes To An End
The time is twelve o'clock, midnight, on Friday, November 27. Jacklyn is going to the movies with her high school buddies for their break. It's the same as every other night at the movies: the previews run, the movie starts, the popcorn boxes rattle, and the crowd hushes as the lights dim. But that's when it happens. Someone walks in front of the screen, and it soon becomes apparent he isn't going to move. And he has a gun. What ensues is the worst mass shooting in US history. In a theatre of four hundred, only three-fourths come out uninjured, and more walk away with an irreversible scar. The criminal is caught, but the wake of the tragedy tells a much deeper story. This is a fictional story of beauty, pain, hurt, love, bravery, and how life goes on . . . Or ceases to.Complete
