"The man you see here tonight is not a man, he's a 12-year-old boy, and this boy is still having fun. And I will remain a boy forever ... You remain invested in your inner child by exploding every day. You don't worry about the future. You don't worry about the past. You just explode."
- Ray Bradbury at San Diego Comic-Con, July 24, 2020, from Ray Bradbury: The Last Interview

Differential
Different- 1) Not the same as another, or each other; Unlike in nature, form or quality. I thought being different was a good thing. You know, the whole 'Im not conforming to you' deal. I thought I was unique, my own person. Apparently not everyone thinks being different is a good thing. They're afraid of my difference. Maybe it's my long white hair? Or my glowing silver eyes? Or it could just be because.... I'm not fully human. I tried to keep it a secret. Really I did. I knew the consequence of something like this getting out. So my secret stayed a secret. All until the day the little girl walked out in front of the truck.Complete
Superpowers
"Levi, you are part of our family. You're practically my brother!" "I told you to stop saying that Alison!" "Stop saying wha-" Suddenly his lips crash to mine in a unity of passion. I'm in shock. Paralyzed by this new revelation. It was nothing like before, it wasn't gentil, tender or even sweet. It was desperate. Reviving. Intense. We were like north and south. Night and day. Love and hate. And yet that thought only made us feel more alive. ---------- We've all felt that moment in our lives when we feel like we want to die. That simple action to end all the pain and suffering. Because this pain we're feeling is so consuming it drives us to the edge of insanity. It's not fun, is it. Allie Carter lives a normal life, with normal friends and goes to a normal school. The most exciting part of her week is when a new episode of Planet Earth is aired at 8pm on a Tuesday night. Nothing really happens in her boring life. Nothing good. Nothing bad. But when her brother's best friend - Levi Hayes - attempts to commit suicide, her entire life flips upside down putting everything in a new perspective. She plays the hero... ...but what if the hero needs to be saved from herself?

The Story of Us💕
"Pao, How to make you believe me. I really didn't do anything hurt to you." Boun became irritable and angry because of his anxiety and helplessness. Prem feels that the two will quarrel if this continues. He is too tired now, and he wants to rest and leave. "New is waiting for me downstairs," Prem said, picking up his backpack and leaving. Boun got even more excited when he heard New's name. Hold on to Prem and don't let him go. "I won't let you go." "You have no right to control me." "Why not? You can be mad at me, but how can you go with New. It's not like you don't know he likes you, are you trying to give him a chance to take advantage of it?!" "New is not what you think. He is my good friend and I know him well." "You can't go anyway. I don't allow you to be alone with him." The more Boun said, the more emotional he became, and he reached out to grab Prem's backpack, trying to prevent Prem from leaving in this way.Complete
