"It's a Polaroid camera," she said as she inspected it's fine details from her frozen, pink finger tips, "the pictures come out instantly." She held the camera too her eye and pressed the shutter faster than ever before, her hands jittery from the sudden interaction with a stranger. "Here," she passed over the slow setting photo and span on her heel whilst his voice echoed from behind her, calling her back and asking more questions. She sped up just as her heart rate had in that short encounter. 'Not again.' She whispered, 'please not again.'

I kissed him and fell in love with him. Things changed after that one stolen kiss. I ran away, and I never thought that I would see him once again, but I did.

Gravity

You know, icy roads, snow coming down hard, a car slides into your lane and then boom. You're standing in the street watching some guy trying to shake you alive and all you can think is, "Damn, I'm dead." Although, I'm sure you've never experienced that, or else I'd be telling you this story face to face. Anyway, that guy begging me to wake up, he's pretty important, remember him. Now, let's get to the good stuff shall we? Because in all honesty, this story isn't about me, or my death, it's about Abigail and Zac. "Complete
