All events are pure fiction and do not resemble any person now, in the past or in the future yet to come. If you enjoy these let me know. If not let me know that also. I will respond to everyone who writes to me. each chapter is a different set of characters and scenes with different outcomes all designed to respond to love and loving and people's responses to how they view and deal with many forms of love (LUV).Complete
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

Deranged
This is a short story I wrote a few years ago that I really wanted to be able to publish but didn't want to for the longest time. The story is a little slow but I put a of time into it but isn't by any means my best work. I took inspiration from the movie Psycho with this so there are a lot of cringey Easter Eggs in there. Synopsis: Rob and his family flee their normal lives in Las Vegas Nevada for the small town of Fairvale, California. There, they encounter a boy named Tony who has a dark secret he hides from everyone.Complete
