Mrs. Avery

At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us."

LOSS
"Loss" is a raw and unflinching descent into the shattered psyche of a protagonist consumed by the aftermath of profound betrayal and abuse. Beginning with the immediate, visceral agony of abandonment, the narrative charts a harrowing journey through the stages of grief, escalating into furious denial, vengeful fantasies, and a desperate yearning for the past. As the protagonist grapples with the enduring trauma and the specter of his abuser, a fragile hope for reconciliation flickers, only to be extinguished by the crushing weight of his pain. Ultimately, the story culminates in a tragic act of finality, a desperate attempt to escape an unbearable reality. Yet, even in the silence of the afterlife, the indelible mark of loss remains, an eternal testament to the destructive power of a broken connection and the enduring scars of a life irrevocably altered. It's a stark exploration of the cyclical nature of trauma, the corrosive effects of hatred, and the haunting persistence of absence, even in the face of ultimate escape.Complete

6 months to live
It all started my sophomore year of high school. The first symptom that struck me was the constant headaches. I was easy to brush it off since I had been overwhelmed with before and after school activities. More activities meant more coffee to poison the pain of maintaining my reputation. "It's the stress," I would constantly tell myself. Then it was the small fragments of my memory that kept being stolen away from me. Bits by bits, they would slowly vanish leaving me demented. I though I was going crazy because I couldn't remember simple things like where I lived. It never occurred to me that I would only have 6 months left to live.Complete
