Shoreside by vinnieX

This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.

The Journey When disaster strikes the quiet town of Willow Creek, one unbreakable bond is put to the ultimate test. Ethan Kane, a craftsman with a quiet strength, and his loyal dog, Shadow, have always shared a simple, steady life-until the earth trembles and their world is torn apart. Separated by the chaos of a catastrophic quake, man and dog are forced onto parallel paths of survival. As Ethan battles hunger, exhaustion, and desperate strangers in the ruins, Shadow must face the dangers of the wild-wolves, hunger, and the merciless forest. Each step they take, though apart, pulls them closer together, bound by a loyalty that refuses to fade. The Journey is a story of resilience, survival, and the unshakable connection between man and his best friend. Through ruin and wilderness, through fear and fire, their paths stretch toward one truth: love is a compass that cannot be broken.

The bourgeois society he lives in, a French city called Nantes, is not ready for the sequence of events that are going to create havoc in Stevie's universe. Feeling hard done by destiny, despite his young age, he embarks on a road where few adults are able to follow. Thus, Stevie explores all aspects of life in this candid and bare-it-all account of his 'not for the faint-hearted' routine. During his drifting and solitary journey, he encounters people of various ages and backgrounds. The story paints a vivid portrait of life in the early part of the 70s, clearly depicting its sounds, images, and culture. This is the story of the coming of age of an extraordinary boy narrated at the first person by Etienne Beauregard in this dramatic debut.
