“Imagine being blown into the future every single night. You don’t have the ability to move past this experience, all you can do is watch. That right there is my life… The problem is, I am not able to look into my future but the future of others. No one knows this and I will never tell, it’s my little secret. I am an orphan in The Light of a Helping Hand. That is the place where I have stayed for as long as I remember. No one cares about each other here; we all play by our own rules that is if we can. To be honest, I do care about one person in the whole diseased “home”. I have always cared about her and will never, never let her go. Her name is Persephone and she has been my best friend since fourth grade. I’m currently a junior in this hell hole of a place. We are SADLY, an all girl school / orphanage.” Delilah is the main character of this hectic story. You will read about love, danger, and disaster. There is no way to run away from the future, not if everyone you know is dying one by one by a treacherous disease. Someone in Delilah’s future holds the power to give immortality to those in danger. The problem is that this someone will be turned against her, in a rush to help cure this outbreak. What makes this person so special? And why does this person want to kill innocent people, including dear Delilah? If you are interested in this story, comment or like. I will only upload chapters if I get enough readers to actually read my book. Thank you for listening, I hope you are interested. (:
