Shadows of the Past by wickedempire

"Shadows of the Past" follows the harrowing journey of Ethan Blackwood, a man battling the demons of his past while struggling to navigate an uncertain present. Set against the backdrop of small-town life and haunted by broken relationships, lost family, and personal failures, Ethan's story is one of survival, resilience, and the fight to rebuild after everything has fallen apart. This is book one. Trigger Warnings: This book contains themes and depictions of trauma, childhood abuse, substance abuse, loss of a parent, toxic relationships, manipulation, emotional and psychological distress, and mental health struggles. Reader discretion is advised. "Shadows of the Past" is a deeply personal project for me. Though this work is fictional, many of the events, emotions, and experiences portrayed are drawn closely from my own life. Writing this book has been both a cathartic and challenging process, allowing me to explore and process difficult chapters of my past. While some characters and events are products of fiction, others are reflections of real-life experiences that I have faced. In the same way, the protagonist's journey is a mixture of truth and imagination, offering both insight into the real struggles of those facing emotional battles and the power of storytelling to find meaning in pain. For the sake of privacy, all names have been changed, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental. The first book in this story is now complete, and as you read it, I hope it resonates with anyone who has faced their own shadows and is seeking a way through. Thank you for joining me on this journey. - Chris D.

As Adela's mental state continues to deteriorate, she is faced with increasingly difficult challenges and obstacles that threaten to consume her entirely. The book delves into the complexities of mental illness and the impact it can have on an individual's life, as well as the importance of recognizing and addressing the signs of mental health issues. Ultimately, the book serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy, understanding, and support for those who are struggling with mental illness, and the devastating consequences that can arise when these crucial elements are lacking.

"Get the fuck away from me, Leo." I lean down a little, so we're barely eye level. "You followed me to New York. Are you really that desperate?" "If you believe that my life revolves around your immature self, then your life must be sad. I fucking hate you," she responds. I twirl one of her curls between my fingers as I lean closer to her ear. "So why don't you go back to leaving, yeah?" ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* :･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞.
