Hiking the Vermont peaks over 4,000 feet is a short but must-do list if you're going for the Northeast 115. For me, it's five mountains, one challenge, a new state, new trails, and new places to explore. From the summits, I can look across Lake Champlain and see what I just accomplished in the Adirondacks. It's that feeling of finishing one chapter and jumping right into the next. Every peak reminds me how far I've come, what I've pushed through, and all the adventures still waiting.

Into the Mountains: A Branching Path Story
Your life has reached a point of daily monotony that is crushing your spirit slowly. Every morning, it's the same thing: wake up, brush teeth, shower, dress, eat toast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep. Repeat. Then one morning you get a pamphlet in the mail: an advertisement for a hiking trail in the mountains of Tennessee. Your spirit jumps at a chance to do something different and maybe to discover something important about yourself. Will your decisions lead to a victorious conquest of the mountains? Or will they make you another cautionary tale whispered to naughty children by their parents? [A branching path story is written in second person, so you will read and take action as the main character in this story. Your story will branch off into different plots based on your responses. This is the first time I have done something like this, but I'm really excited to share it with you!]Complete

Fix Me, I'm Broken
Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell.

Walk With Me
(DISCONTINUED) I walked all the way to the park. I waited every day for at least thirty minutes. I walked back my confidence withering. Every. Single. Time. I was tired of waiting, I had my hopes up for way too long. One more walk, one more wait. He will be there. And he was. Lost on the path of not only life but her own decisions, Harlow Swan takes a chance to find her long lost friend, or crush, should I say. Meeting up with him again after two years, she realizes that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, and maybe there were some things that weren't as horrible as she thought. But not long after, things begin to go downhill, and her hopes begin to crumble. Harlow thinks that maybe once she's put her life back together, along with her hope, maybe everything would be normal again. But maybe everything wasn't meant to be normal, maybe it was all meant to be awful and way too truthful for her liking. It isn't just any normal story, after all; it's hers.Complete

Don't Fear the Reaper
The Second Giant War was gruesome. With only 3 of the 7 left alive, they demigods of prophecy left the camps. They were unable, or maybe just unwilling, to be in the places where their friends once walked. They chose to escape the world of demigods while they still could. They wanted to try for normal so that maybe, one day, they could forget any of it ever happened. They wanted peace and safety. Nico... well, Nico had other ways of coping. ------------- Nico had had a long life. 16 years old, plus however many had passed in that cured casino had left little joy in his life. He had lost his grandparents, his mother, Bianca, his friends, and then Hazel... he missed her more than he could bare. He only knew his sister for around a year before he had lost her, and not a single day had passed in the last two years that he hadn't thought of her. He couldn't go to either camp or the underworld without feeling like his chest would explode from the pain. He knew she was in a better place. Her and Frank were in Elysium with Jason, Piper, and the rest of the heroes that died in the wars. She was at peace. Maybe she had even managed meet his mother and they were watching him now... though he honestly hoped they weren't. They would be disgusted by what he had become. --------- Nico x Batfam (unrelated to my Demigods in Gotham series)
My Love For Him *percico*
So I was just listening to a song one day and this story came to mind. -It all happened too fast. I was too wrapped up in making him have the best time of his life, I didn't notice the feeling growing inside of me. But by the time I did, I knew I didn't have much time left. -Complete
