In search of a cure for a spate of overpowering nightmares, Dan embarks on a manic life-changing adventure that takes him along a path determined by a mixture of incompetence and good fortune. His journey begins with a visit to a sleep clinic where the sharp tongue of a resident nurse does more to raise his low self esteem than it does for his insomnia. Subsequently his life is turned on its head by the appearance of a mysterious old man who is able to transcend both the real world and his dreams. The man informs him that he has a gift—the ability to travel to his alternate selves in parallel universes, all made possible via subconscious connections in his mind. Suddenly his dreams open gateways to new worlds—worlds in which a war has been raging for many years and in which he, the fabled Nexus, was foretold to be a leading player. Sucked into the battle, he embarks on a quest through a daunting world in the hope of preserving his sanity, his identity and ultimately his life…

The Bucket List
This isn't another one of those sob stories you hear about when your mom sends you a screenshot of an article she found on the New York Times website. It's also not one of those clichés you read about the desirable boy and the perfect girl who fall in love and live happily ever after. Well, I guess half of that is true, because it's kind of a sob story and it's also just a little bit cliché. I'm Morgan DeAngelis, a freak with a terminal lung disease and a seventeen year lifespan. I never said I was perfect. Sure, being told you have one year to live is hard. It's what you decide to do in that year that's even harder. Some people travel the world, some people blow all their cash do whatever the hell they want, some people mope about it the whole time, and some people probably end it early, and take their lives before their time is up. As sad as it may seem, that's what I wanted to do, but I didn't, and I can say that my life changed drastically, for the better... I think... Anyway, here's my story, read it if you want, or don't. I really don't care. But, fair warning, if you do decide to dalve into the rollercoaster of emotions I call a story, you should know that it's a very long journey. To be precise, a journey that lasts a lifetime.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
