Earlier this year, my mother passed away. This is a sort of reflection on things, meant to give the reader a form of enlightenment, if you will, towards the death of our parents. Whether young or old many people can't identify with my story, let alone anyone at all. This is the story of the thoughts that haunt my dreams in my sleep and creep my thoughts in the day. I hope you close this book with a new appreciation for life and for those who gave it to us.

Kuroshitsuji: Seventh Sin
"...maybe the whole world is one big, confusing unfair mystery that doesn't make sense and never will. But hey, maybe that's the beauty of it all: the not knowing." • • • This is the story of Brenna Wolfe, an Irish Catholic who loses her family to a virulent outbreak of a deadly disease, and lives through it herself. She is saved by a demon named Felix, who allows her to live out her wildest dreams for the ultimate price: her eternal soul. However, that might not be what her dreams are worth after all. At least, that's what Felix reveals right before he proposes a different deal entirely. It's one Brenna accepts without hesitation, only to discover later on how unhinged his offer truly was. Past ignorance is replaced with sacred knowledge, and following the ultimate test of faith, Brenna finally comes to know the value of what she was seeking all along. ☆ Interesting facts ☆ 1. This is based on Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. It's largely an OC thing, but includes several canon characters. Thus, I've named it honoring the anime, and it's full name is "Kuroshitsuji: Seventh Sin." 2. It's one of the first things I wrote on here so it's bound to have a few issues. 3. The structure of the chapters is based on Dante's Inferno/The Devine Comedy. I started this around the same time I drafted "Letters From Iroh," when I was in my first year of college/university. I was reading the book for a Humanities course at the time and writing this helped me to better remember the order of all the layers of Hell and the corresponding sins/punishments/etc. Look at that, anime helped my grade! Haha. Alllllright. Alright? Alright. That's about it. Enjoy! (*^^)vComplete

------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile. "You okay? Did you hit your head or somethin'?" I tease. "Shut up." ------------------------- Olivia, a 16-year-old girl with a tragic past.

Evil with a D
When Morningstar fell, God felt such pain and betrayal. The Heaven's wept for the losses and pain of their creator. Now, banished from his Heavenly world, Morningstar began his own kingdom where he could cause pain and suffering to Gods favored children. It was these feelings that Hell sprung from. And it was at this that God grew all the sadder, turning forever from the angel he'd favored above all others. It was then that "Lucifer" began to terrorize the human world; trying anyway he could to gain Gods attention again. And collecting the souls of His precious children caught the most attention of all. It wasn't until one High Demon realized just how precious one of these humans becomes to him that everything changed. It is this history that takes us into the present world with a story that could change everything you thought you knew about the worlds above and below the middle plain of existence. ((This story is rated R for several reasons. Mostly Theme and content. While this story touches on religion, it's a rewritten, most "realistic, version of it.))Complete
