Trudging through a space that is wholly foreign and achingly familiar. It's been an awfully long time since I've written anything out of desire and not duty. I miss the thrill. I am also afraid I've lost any right to call myself a writer.
This is my attempt at clawing back what I once loved. It'll be non linear, informal and almost certainly a mess.

TOXIC REWIND
"We were never meant to last... but we couldn't stay away." They met in high school-young, reckless, and hopelessly in love. When it all fell apart, they thought that was the end. But some love stories refuse to stay buried. When they find their way back to each other, it isn't the fairytale they once dreamed of. Love turns toxic, passion turns destructive, and together, they become the worst versions of themselves. How far will they go before they finally break for good? Or is this the kind of love that never really dies, no matter how much it burns?Complete
