Inhale

*CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH SECOND REVAMP*

Exhale, repeat. How far will you go?

Ask Julian Laurence and he will tell you he is living the dream. Despite his flaws and overwhelming anxiety, Julian has everything he needs at school.
Wealthy, privately educated, and surrounded by his friends; what more can a 16 year old ask for?
But behind autumn winds and the second hand smoke there is something far more sinister.
Julian finds his perfectly orchestrated comfort turned inside-out as a new student arrives, and old stories return.

There is only so much the human spirit can take.

A slow burning story of love, grief, and mystery that follows observant Julian through his final years at school as his relationships with those around him are tested.

As always, in loving memory of the real Josiah-Jean, who has breathed life into the beloved Josiah in this story.
