Tragedy ✔️
𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯! Tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere, and the saddest part about that truth is that tragedy is unavoidable. No one can prevent a natural disaster from happening. No one can prevent death from knocking on their doorstep - if it's an accident, or a sickness - it cannot be prevented, and it cannot be avoided. You never know on which day tragedy will come knocking on your front door. You never know who it would strike next - if it would be you, or someone else, or someone who is very close to you. The thing is, with tragedy, it doesn't ask questions before it strikes. It just does. River and Sophia were two people who experienced the same tragedy: loss, but their stories were very different from each other, but they shared the same pain of losing someone they loved, someone who was close to them. And now, suffering the aftermath of their tragedies - living with the guilt, the regret, and the grief of losing someone that was close to them, they have to try to overcome everything, before their tragedy ruins their lives forever. But will it bring them together or would it just be another terrible tragedy? [ word count 130K - 145K ] [ comments does contain spoilers ]Complete

NIGHTHAWK: A Short Story.
Edward Anderson finds himself in yet another night with the same issue; he hasn't been able to sleep in weeks. Edward was a troublemaker yuppie with no purpose in his life. After an accident almost got him killed, back in his "previous life" as he calls it. Edward decides to move all by himself to Tallahassee in order to start over, leaving his sisters and mother with the doubt of whether or not he will be out of trouble. Times passes and he develops a severe case of insomnia. He finds himself wondering around in a rented place reading books, listening to music or whatever helps him to sleep, but he can't. Until one day he decides to drive around the city every single night until the break of dawn visiting the same places, the same beach, the same gas station over and over again without any success. Edward's fate changes forever when he finds an old house in a quiet neighborhood where he suspects something very strange and disturbing is going on in there. "Nighthawk" is a story of solitude, a story of how difficult it is to leave the past and change for the better. A character study of the difficulties to face and defeat our inner demons and how sometimes all it takes to destroy us is being at the wrong place and at the wrong time; or maybe it is the right place and the right time in this case. *This story belongs to the short story collection titled "Stream Of Consciousness" which I will publish somewhere around this year.Complete
