A Face Made For Daylight
I've always had a deep love for writing, even when I was still finding my voice. This piece is a reflection of that early stage. It's purposely raw, imperfect, and, at times, unpolished. But the story is, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful narrative I've ever written. I'm fully aware of the grammatical missteps, the amateur structure, and the inconsistent formatting, but what it may lack in "perfect writing", I honestly believe it makes up for in heart.
This was my first attempt at writing a novel, created during the stillness of the COVID lockdowns, a time when I was able to fully immerse myself in a story I deeply researched and completely lost myself in. It became less about perfection and more about the act of storytelling itself.
I've grown as a writer since then, something that's more evident in my articles. Still, I've chosen to leave this piece as it is, unaltered and imperfect.
The story is what matters, the narrative.
I've written a beautiful story and I hope you can enjoy it!

A story of love, betrayal, bloodlust, and the supernatural.
Set in our current time with flashes to 1920s, 50s and 60s ❤️
He, a cursed twin brother.
She, a dying human.
After 40 days of transitioning, vampires become immune to the curse of the sun and can walk in daylight. Alistair, was a vampire able to enjoy the California sun whenever he pleased.
Cursed by a scorned lover, Alistair can never walk in daylight again unless he can prove worthy of true love, like the love the sun radiates. A playboy, cocky womanizer in search for "The One". Someone must love him for the monster he is. Someone he can not compel.
Stella suffers from a rare blood disorder. Her treatments stopped working and she is slowly dying. Her blood is poisonous to vampires. He can't have her.
Stella is The One.
She is his last hope.
