"No ten steps rule or whatever, just write it all out, the shit'll sort itself out." Life is filled with some sort of catch to it, some irony and laced with some unnamed tragedy. We all have our coping mechanisms, our way to feel warmth. Delicate as misery is, treating it as something rational helps. Thus, exploring the science of grief. All stories carry a bit of grief in them. To Drew, it became a story about a misfortunate boy who loses so much, yet feels no agony. Like a stranger, alienated from emotion and the world, he somehow has to deal with his own. An overworked sister, a mother who was gone, a mind that was broken and a past that's still haunting. He wants to feel the misery. But somehow, he can't. Instead he writes. He writes to the things and people he lost and addresses them to the skies, hoping for his words to be heard. And just as luck would have it, someone did hear. A sort of short story about bittersweet things. The Science of Grief :)

Warning: this book's focus is drawn to a character who hints themes of depression and self-harm. The idea of the story is to present the experience of learning to understand and comfort someone through these struggles. So while these themes are contained within a comical styled story, they are still present so please be mindful of that before you read on. You. You're just a normal girl. A normal girl with a normal life... until you meet the boy with blue hair... Name: unknown Age: unknown Human? Unknown How can someone live a life without anyone knowing of their existence? You don't know. But you want too. Determination fills you with a desire to seek more about this boy. There's just something about him that makes you want to know more. He meets your eye. Is a name really too much to ask? He refuses to give you one. If you keep investigating, you'll get hurt. You'll be killed. You'll regret it. It's not a warning. It's simply the truth. You've been noticing strange things going on. He's not in any records. A shotgun fire?! He has wounds that heal all too quickly. How can a boy get shot and heal by the very next day? You want to know, don't you? Then simply allow your mind to go wondering into this book and discover the secrets behind the boy who no one knows. (This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story.... If my studies would stop getting in the way]
