100 Things

Iris is a seventeen year old girl with an illness that has confined her to the walls of her home since first grade. With an illness that could kill her if she gets overly excited or stressed, Iris has not been able to live the normal life of a child or teenager.

She has spent most of her time painting in her room and helping her mother around the house, never allowed to hang with friends, watch television or read simply because of the risks of getting herself too worked up. Painting has always been her outlet, something she can do without any risks. But her stir craziness from never leaving the house has gotten to her. She has a yearning to see the world outside and do things she has never been allowed to do before.

In her pocket is a list. A very powerful list, that she sees as her life. A list of 100 things, some crazy, some wild, some unusual, and some seemingly impossible, but to her, each one of them is something she must accomplish before her illness causes her body to shut down. Iris sets off on an adventure of her own to complete them.

She is used to going about everyone on her own, dealing with everything herself, but the world works in mysterious ways. And for Iris, it has decided that she won't be going at this crazy list on her own. What has always appeared impossible, may just become possible.
