Losing Everything

Michael and Ryan are struggling to live the life they want to. Will either of them survive? This is a short story I wrote for my advanced English class in eighth grade. It's not my best work, but I keep it on here for nostalgia's sake. It is written in a style utilized in the short story "Currents" by Hannah Bottomy Voskuil. It is also inspired by the Broadway musical "Rent" by the late Jonathan Larson.
