Memory of ME
No matter how absurd this story may seem, please remember that it is TRUE. It happened in real life. The fatal accident, not made up; the girl who had to ingratiate others to fit in, not made up; the rich, narcissistic girl who demanded compliment every day, not made up; the hostile girl who suffered through unimaginable pain, not made up. It looks fake, yes, but coincidence did bring these girls together, and Ella Cass, the author, is one of them. Which one of the girls? I'll leave you to guess. A note from Ella Cass: 'If I haven't had that instant where I narrowly avoided death, I would've got buried in the dark until everyone who has ever had any memory of me die off and it would be as if I've never existed. So, this accident, in some way, inspired me to write my experiences down, on the sole purpose of letting my memory live after my death that may occur tomorrow or decades down the road.'Complete

Right Person At The Wrong Time
Conrad loves Brenda more than anything, but knowing his time is short and his body is failing, he decides to push her away-not out of cruelty, but out of desperation to spare her. He deliberately acts cold, distant, or even cruel, trying to make her hate him so she won't grieve him when he's gone. He believes that if she despises him, she'll move on faster, finding happiness without the burden of loving a dying man. **** Love isn't just about finding the perfect person; sometimes, it's about finding the right person at the worst possible moment. Life has a cruel sense of irony, bringing two souls together when circumstances just won't align-when one is ready to love and the other is not, or when timing itself becomes the enemy. They enter your life with everything you've ever wanted-understanding, chemistry, an unspoken connection-but it feels as if the universe is conspiring against you. Yet, even amid the heartache, there is a strange beauty in having known them. They leave an imprint on your heart, a quiet reminder that love was real, even if it wasn't meant to last. Sometimes, that's enough-to have experienced love with the right person, even at the wrong time.Complete
