"The former might of the abandoned cathedral was ever-present as Jason approached the massive wooden doors. He pulled on the tarnished bronze latch, and the doors roared and creaked open... He slowly traversed the spiral staircase as the light filtered in through the windows, creating a mystical landscape within the walls of the old church. The stairs groaned under his feet with every step. As he reached the top step, he was met with a long hallway. There appeared to be a faint light flickering in the room at the end of the hall. He timidly approached, unsure if someone (or something) was waiting for him. He peered into the room. In the corner sat an old piano, a lit candle's flame slow-dancing on top. The shadow of a moth darted around the faintly illuminated walls. As he approached the piano, he could see dust floating in the candlelight. There was a handprint, cast in negative space where the soot once covered, seemingly created only moments ago..." Love and heartbreak, two feelings linked across time and space. Some would say they make up the 4th dimension in our 3-dimensional universe. This mythical tale tells the story of a boy who discovers these feelings in an inexplicable way, not bound by what we perceive to be reality. Not bound by plausibility or our three dimensions. But, hey. That's what fiction is for, right?

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
