PROLOGUE: In my hometown, every park and trailhead has what is called a little library. This little libraries are house shaped, wooden boxes where people can put used or even new books in for people to take for free and not worry about due dates and late fines. Anyone of any age or backround can take a book that a stranger thought would be good for the public. Passerby are encouraged but not required to return the book or put in another book from their house when they are done. On occasion, you will find a book from decades, maybe even a century ago. Usually when you find a book that is so ancient, there will be a name or date or note or all of these scribbled inside the front cover. Seeing such old pen marks makes someone like me wonder who this person was, what was their story, and why did they enjoy (maybe even dislike) this book. Did they buy it? Did someone give it to them? Who knows? Certainly not me. There is no way for me to know anything other than what is written in the book. This is why I've decided to write a short story for each book I find about the people named inside the cover. Thank you to my dad for giving me this idea and for being one of the reasons I love being creative. Enjoy!
sincerely, kennedy k.☆

The Best Kept Secret!
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?Complete

The One Who Stole the Sky
*COMPLETED* "Liesel, what's the matter?" Max's concern was that of a mother's, so flat, but so serious. "Max, there is no one to thank left." Liesel changed her view to peer at the dusty floor. She missed Max's countenance gaping mouth and large eyes afflicted by her words. Not only had Max stolen the sky, he stole Liesel's heart too. Now, in Post-WWII Germany, the Allies have brought relief. Life is just beginning to come out of hiding, ready to blossom and flourish as it once did before. No one no longer cowers in fear. But something stirs in Russia: Communism. How will a Jew and innocent German girl make it safely in this ever-changing world that is right out their door? NOTE: This is after The Book Thief story (sequel if you will), so there are some spoilers if you haven't seen/read anything about it. However, if you don't care about the movie/book/spoilers, then it still makes for an eye opening, post-WWII fan fiction. Personally, I feel this is my best piece of writing I've ever shared on Wattpad. I hope everyone enjoys! NOTE: I DO NOT own any of the characters or the cover picture!Complete
