And Then Came the Storm

In a town that seems frozen in time, where old wounds have never healed and the past reminds you of itself at every turn, you've returned to Liberio to endure a summer you never wanted. Seven years ago, you left this city behind, abandoning a home soaked in the echo of your parents' arguments and the friends of your childhood. Among them was Eren, a friend who never left, whose eyes, once filled with a childish fire, now seem weary and extinguished. You came back to find yourself, while he stayed to wait for you.

Liberio doesn't forgive those who run away, and every forgotten promise has its price-especially a love that never had a chance to end.

*i wrote this story under the spell of Lana Del Rey's music - especially 'Summertime Sadness' and 'High by the Beach.' If you want to drown in the atmosphere fully, I dare you to read it with those songs playing. Love, the author.
