The Writer's Curse

"I'M A WRITER! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT TO!" I scream. Mr Hobo kept moving forward.

"S-stand back! I'm calling the cops!" I say.

He strides forward and I realise I'm trapped.

"You maybe a writer, Leon. But you must learn to love."

Pulling out something I've only seen in my imagination, he taps me on the head.

"Goodbye. And when you're back, maybe we can order a pizza."

My brow furrowed in confusion.

"Wait what? Why do you have a wand? Where are you sending me?"

And that's all I remember.

Leon is a high school guy. He's average at most things, never being able to stand out in the midst of so many people who are better than him. Blond hair, grey eyes, he doesn't look very visually stunning either. How are you supposed to get through high school like that?

He turns to writing. Creating different plots and characters. Soon, he finds himself coping with his life with a pen in his hand.

Too lazy to complete stories sometimes, Leon often finds his bursts of imagination short lived. He tends to vent out his frustration on characters, thinking that inflicting them with the emotions he feels doesn't make a difference to anyone. After all, they're just fictional, right? There's no possible way that they can feel his pain.

But can a sloppily dressed English teacher change him?

Read on with Leon as he finds out that there are three sides to every story- the author's, the reader's, and the characters'.
