A short story on the theme of love and loss. Me and my friend decided to give each others a challenge. I will write a story according to a theme he gave me, and he would compose a piece of music with reference to my story.
And so, I got to work.
I decided to write about esprit de corps, camaraderie. In this story, we will follow the story of Wilfred and his best friend, George. Since the theme he chose was love and loss, I decided that the story was based completely on the death of George and Wilfred's traumatic memories of war. Hope you enjoy :)

TW: This story will contain mentions of suicide, suicide, strong language, abuse, etc. I will put a TW at the beginning of the chapter depicting what triggers may be involved. If there is none, you should be fine. Proceed with caution :) George and Dream have been best friends for years. Nothing could get in the way of their friendship. But happens when Dream has feelings he's never felt towards George? What happens when Dream learns that he wants to be more than friends? P.S- I totally understand if Dream and George are not comfortable with this story, and if they ever express that, I will take it down. P.P.S lol- the cover of this book I found online and I liked it.Complete

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
