Liminal spaces are places where reality feels altered. Places like service stations, stairways, airports and waiting rooms. These places aren't definitive on their own, they're throughways between one destination and the next. Making them feel disconnected from reality. Also, when you go somewhere outside of its context: parks at night time, unfamiliar McDonald's on long journeys, your room at 5am and you're still awake, schools during holiday time. These places suddenly feel eerie at this time because it's out of the context that your brain is used to.
***
Ivy Andrews is 19, starting her second year of university and trying to navigate her life. Within the craziness she meets an interesting stranger, Alfie Myers.
Their encounters continue to happen in liminal spaces.
Can she get past the ambivalence of her feelings and trust the guy who appears in her life? Or will their relationship stay fleeting and mysterious?

Ivy never thought healing could come from a place wrapped in white walls and quiet beeping machines. Haunted by a painful past, a broken home, and her own insecurities especially her struggle with mispronouncing words she's spent most of her life trying to blend into the background.

Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
