Includes diversity, LGBTQ+ representation, mental health issues, disability rights, autism awareness, gender equality, and real life issues.
Inspired after reading stories written by @summerbackthen especially The Debut Diaries.
Hopefully I didn't make this way too cliché or just add lots of features. 🤞

If my story offends anyone or if I should change something, please let me know! I want this to be correct and to spread awareness!
(I just wanna say that even though I spent a lot of time and researched for this book, I'm probably gonna end up discontinuing it but for people's sake I hope not.)
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. 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?
