A Lasting Curse
This is my first story to be posted on Wattpad. This is the story of a curse, and those bearing it learning to make it their own. It is a story of love, and hope. A story of conflict and despair. If you can't handle mature topics such as self harm, alcoholism, war, PTSD, depression, chronic illness, please don't read it. Otherwise, enjoy this special story! I am also co-writing this with @Endereye587, and they are a really good writer so I recommend looking at some of their stuff. Trigger warning because there is mention of self-harm and alcoholism, as well as general mental health stuff.
