"I wrote letters for the first few years, but I wasn't sure where to send them to. Did you know that it's hard to send someone a letter without having a final destination printed out on the front of the envelope? If only the security weren't so tight, then I would have gone with you on that plane to make sure you reached your new final destination safely."
If life comes with death, then wouldn't death come with life? What even happens once you reach the airport and hop on the plane that leads to nowhere in particular?
Those are the two main questions Ember James has on her mind. But, in a relatively small town located in the middle of nowhere, finding the answers to her questions is not easy. Death in this town is not uncommon, but the way that the people move on so quickly in the town is a bit strange. And, to make the town and people even stranger, no one seems to notice that the rain only ever comes when a holiday is about to be celebrated.
Could the people in this town really be as oblivious as they come off to be? Or, is there more to be found out about with the town and those that reside within it?

Secret Santa ✔️
"You had no right to do that," I snap, trying my best to out walk him. His chuckle was loud behind me and his hand griped on my forearm, stopping me. Something about his warmth gave me chills all over my body. Something I don't think I ever wanted in the first place. Especially from him and especially now. "Yes I did, and I still do." His hard grip around my arm loosened, and snaked up to lock his fingers through my hair. Oh Momma, what is happening? Being this close to him has been happening way too often for normal. Still, I couldn't break away from this close contact, I was frozen, shocked. "What makes you think that?" My question hit him with humor, and instead of fully responding, he leans his face closer to mine. The smirk on his face stayed once he noticed the affect he had on me. "Because," he whispers out pressing our bodies together. "I'm your Secret Santa," he licks his lips as if he's hungry, then continues, "I can give you anything I want to give you." His free arm wraps around my waist, and he lifts me up during the action before pressing our lips together. The main character is Kimberly.

The Dick & Don Show: S1
DISCLAIMER: The following is a fan adaptation of JonJon's AU "The Dres & Don Show". I originally made a story by that same name under the same idea, which is still up, but it has been discontinued and replaced by this. COMPLETION: 2/9 episodes What is the meaning of life? Why were we put on this earth? That's a question every person faces, and one day when we reach the pearly gates and ask this exact question, there's a chance God may answer "hot pockets and ladybugs." We'll never know. Existentialism. That's something Don faces every waking moment of his life, but so much distracts him from this that he doesn't have the time to contemplate object permanence or the point of his own existence. All he can do is sit back while his friends drive the car into a stream and somehow catch the roof on fire as well. With his minimum wage job and absolute skill when it comes to barely scraping by, Don will drag his feet through the dirt behind his friends that forced him to see the world. Will it be worth it in the end? Who knows. After all, all this life could be worth is hot pockets and ladybugs.Complete
