Have you ever seen a lamp post in the middle of nowhere as lonely as you and me? Have you ever noticed lamp posts in the day light? Have you ever wondered what's it like to wait under the dull light of a street sun in dark dark dark night? Have you ever just wanted to walk over to the lamp post and put your hands on it in gratitude because it may not be a tree or a cloud but it guided you to home? This book is a Compendium, something i've been meaning to do lately. Just those wandering thoughts and short mid sentences that just come at the most random of times, that have no start or end and that just makes you a thinker, a dreamer, a romantic, a little more breathless and gives your heart a beat or two more. Here's to those in and out thoughts we have at midnight. Here's to the thoughts we barely have in mornings but that makes us sleepless at night. Here's to the Stockholm syndrome, the insomnia we think is better than the dreams. here's to you and me. Here's to the street lamps that guide us home.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him?
