Hi. My name is Kira, I am eighteen years old and I am dying. Quite an intro I got going here, but I thought I would just get that part over with. So uh, I have something called ALST and that is basically an acronym for "short life expectancy, high suffering". It's so incredible hard to make people care about anything. People care so much about other things already, so why should they spend their time on listening to me and my thoughts? I have suffered, I have been in tremendous pain, yet I am happier than most people I meet. But how can that be? I guess you will have to listen in order to find out.

Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
