Alice's life is a spiral of isolation and addiction. Once full of light and promise, she now spends her days trapped in a dingy apartment, barely keeping herself afloat. Her slender hands bear the weight of her choices, and her tired eyes tell a story of longing and regret. Her friends and family haven't given up on her, but Alice has distanced herself, afraid of facing the love she feels she no longer deserves. When a chance encounter with an old friend sparks a glimpse of happiness, Alice is reminded of the pain she's been running from-the one person who broke her. Will she find the strength to rebuild herself, or will the pull of her addiction consume her completely?

Time Capsule
WARNING: Drug references, violence, abuse, and sexual content!!! * * "I was thinking last night, and I thought we could make like a box and put some of our stuff in it." "Like a timecapsule?" "Yes! Exactly! Then we can bury it at that lake in the woods! And then on your 19th birthday we can come back and open it." "That's a great idea Niall! But what if you don't remember?" I frowned and he gently held my cheeks in his hand. "I won't forget, Annabelle. I promise that before then, when I am 18, I'll come back here. And that spot in the woods is now our place. Ours and only ours. Whenever you miss me, just go to that spot and smile at every memory. You promise to do that and I promise I won't forget." "Pinky Promise?" "I pinky promise." * * Niall and Annbelle are the best of friends. Their friendship was special and unbreakable...for the most part. But when Niall moves away, and comes back five years later...a lot of things change... And not in the way you think... ------------------------------------------------- Time Capsule- FaithHopeandNiall Copyright 2014/2015Complete

Sincerely Luna Rose
Dear Nobody, My name is Luna Rose Wesley and I'm just like any other girl my age. I have some secrets, I'm afraid of the future, I have some complicated relationships and some amazing friends, and I'm just trying to do anything that I can to survive. But as the days pass, it seems like surviving in my world is becoming more difficult with every minute. You see, without any money, my family is forced to live in in an apartment building that's smack dab in the center of our rundown part of the city. And my mother is just a work of art. She is now addicted to drugs, and she isn't trying very hard at all to try to get us out of our inner-city situation. Living in constant fear, not only of what's outside my window at night, but also of my violent dealing brother living in the room across the hall, I have to find a way to cope without putting a bullet in my skull like so many of my fallen brethren. And my coping mechanism is to write letters to nobody- to you- and sending it to an address that doesn't exist. I need somebody to talk to without that somebody thinking that I'm looking for pity, so I've found you. Nobody. Thanks for listening. Sincerely, Luna Rose (Rated Mature for the mentioning of sex, drug use, violence, and profane language. Does not contain actual sex scenes.)Complete
