Underestimating the allure to darkness is a dangerous thing. Even the purest of hearts are drawn to it. And the darkest there is, has always been here, tempting them. To play The Game, that is. But of course you would know, you've been playing The Game all your life. Everyone has.
Not that you would remember playing it, even as you are playing it right now. Every injury waiting to happen, every sudden fatality, was our doing. Every accident you've narrowly avoided your entire life, from crib gates left open, to forgotten parking brakes, even slips on patches of ice. Many have already lost by the time they get to your age, perhaps luck is on your side. Luck being your skill at playing the game. How do you win?
Oh, see, you don't, I'm afraid. We get everyone, in the end. It's all a matter of time. And luck. Everyone loses in the end. Everyone except Lois Knight

Growing Pains

79 parts Complete

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
