The Tuneless Song
A girl diagnosed with lung cancer strives survival in a world full of hate, looks and gossips. How will she go on through her daily challenges whilst experiencing the life of a normal American teenager? △ Chosen Excerpt ▼ " Ladies and gentlemen, the sign at the door tells it all. We are here today to discuss the situation of the unspoken. People are aware of what's happening with our earth. But they just proceed with life. No one ever stopped to think. What if all of this reached to an end? What if the future, we prepared hard for our children, was nowhere to be found? What if all of these materialistic manners vanished in seconds? We are challenging a storm. A storm beyond human control. A storm that would be the end of the human race as we know it. You think that life is a cycle? I know some of you would say 'Just because everything is changing, doesn't mean it has never been this way before' but this isn't Narnia we are talking about. This is real life. And in real life bad endings are usualized. Unfortunately, we got no Aslan to help us. We got ourselves. Studies showed that we are less than twelve years away from being unable to undo our mistakes. Either we stop and think about this life, or we proceed with our businesses and fail. Either we stop the temperature from increasing or we watch with eyes full of regret the poles melt eventuallyComplete
