The compass.
The single compass that
changed my life forever.
The compass brought me
back to the day silence
came across my house.
My father is in the army,
or was until the call came in.
The knock at the door,
the questioning voice of my mom. The shock as she screamed.
She lay grasping the envelope,
she knew what it was,
and I knew what it meant.
But why didn't I act the same way?
The secret was...
I knew he was alive and
this compass was going
to lead me to him
one way or another.
Where will this adventure take me?
I don't know,
but what I do know
Is that I will do
whatever it takes to
find the truth.

Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA)
Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesignComplete

My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run.

(A/N) This is written by a 14 year old, who somewhat knows what she's doing. Paragraphs, periods, comma's, spelling, and many other things might be wrong. As I said, I'm practicing. Updates are whenever; I've also started school. I'll try to update once a week? But, it probably won't happen. I was inspired by the show "Erased" to make this story, but in my own way. All artwork is either from Angela, or online, the plotline is also all mine. The name will probably change later on. Enjoy this wacky story of mine.Complete
