The Quarterback
This is first a contemplative look at fiction in general, and then a coming of age drama in which circumstances aspire to keep two lovers apart. I had a vision for this story, which I realized very well through its characters and plot if I do say so myself. I am sure you will enjoy this, and the ending may surprise you, but it is all for a reason. The title stems from the hobby of our protagonist at the story's beginning; it is not about American football. The plot is the same as my former unfinished project "Hanging by a Moment"; certain things have been modified, but the main story is exactly the same. I hope that it makes you think as much as I had to think to write it.Complete
