Avery's life is a mess. Life with depression and anxiety is no fun. Lives like these are called snakes, where bad things happen here and there. The others, normal, fun lives where nearly no bad things happen, are ladders. Full of happiness and carefree days.

Avery once had a ladder life. Back in elementary school. When she didn't have depression. But when she graduates to middle school, she has it much worse. She gets a snake life.

Especially since she's 13 now. And she's got a crush, a best friend and three enemies. Sometimes, it gives her even more anxiety. And then the depression kicks in. 

Will she ever be able to mend her life before she decides to end it?

Or will she simply decide it's all over and disappear from her snake life forever?All Rights Reserved
