Author's note: I'm trying to write a fictional story, I have many ideas but I haven't put the pieces together yet. I've decided to document (a limited amount of) my progress and leave it open for feedback & suggestions. I have a clear idea for the plot, so here's a brief description:
Have you ever just felt your mind go blank, silent. Become disconnected from the world for a moment, lost in your subconscious, trapped and isolated in your own mind, left alone with that one consuming thought; Why? "Why am I here?" "Why don't I know the reason?" "Why don't I have any answers?" "Why does everything happen?"
During adolescence, as our brains grow, develop and begin to absorb the world around us, we will inevitably reach an age of consciousness. And eventually, an age where we gain an understanding of our existence and the concept of life, death, and the 7 billion people we don't know coexisting in the same planet we are... and our lack of knowledge as to why any of it is real or possible. As humans, it is natural to question our surroundings, wonder why we're so ignorant of it all and seek out an answer. But these thoughts typically don't linger in our minds when we are happy and simply living life without over-thinking. We tend to ponder these questions in times of grief, guilt, or regret. But for some people, the thought crosses their mind every day.
Evan wasn't like most high-schoolers, or most people for that matter... Neither was Iris. Evan was full of thoughts and ideas that he never verbally expressed. He hated parties, high school and all the selfish, mindless, social-climbing villains in it. He tried to stay away from most people, but for the first time during his senior year, he becomes strangely fascinated in an artist/writer called Iris. They bond over their mutual habit of over-thinking, passions and addictions. Immediately enchanted by her depth, intelligence and unique talents, Evan fixates on an unrealistic idea of Iris as an perfect human being.

Have you ever wondered if you were meant to be something greater than what you ended up becoming but, life had other plans for you? Could it be something as simple as fate forcing us down whatever predetermined path was set upon our birth? No one can really say for sure what drives our lives in the direction they end up going. Sometimes we wake ourselves up to realize this isn't who I wanted to be and drown ourselves in delusions, convinced its unchangeable, or they are not willing to put the effort in to try to change their life because it may be to hard or painful. Others don't care content with the life they have and just float through life trying to not get caught up in everything. There are also those that blame fate or a higher existence then them for their problems and mistakes never truly taking accountability. This is the stories of several young adults, who by some interesting and what could be seen as cruel or traumatic events come together to fight fate and grow into the people they wish to become. Each has a past that was unfair, cruel, demeaning, or tragic. The defining trait they all share though, they may not realize it themselves is despite it all, they haven't given in. They found through meeting eachother the strength to fight on despite being subjected to some of the worst things that can happen to people. When a young man from our world dies doing something his ideal self would have done, he reflects on his life moments before leaving this world. Finding it Ironic that dying was the catalyst to him realizing he had lived his life all wrong. Surprisingly though he found himself in a place that was unrecognizable. He could never have imagined that this was only the start of what he now sees as a second chance. A chance to keep a promise he made to someone dear, and a new promise to himself that he would become what that person needed most back then, A Hero.
