Once upon a long time ago, when tears were unheard of, and grief forbidden, when the morning doves chirped freely, when the rules were set to perfect order, a little girl dared break every single one of them. But, it didn't work out. And she was found out. They tried her for treason against the crown and she was found guilty. So, Sunday, the sixteenth of April, she was destined to fall to flames that would scorch her body to ashes. As the people watched, second by second, awarness dawned upon them. Quietly, each of them mourned for the little girl whose happy cries of joy whose gently carresses of love whose home baked cookies they would never see again. Like any sensible society, they decided to destroy their government. To grind it and grind it and grind it until it didn't exist. It deserved it. And now? Their world engulfed in misunderstanding, desolation, confusion, sorrow, misery, and the less than effortless way of living they sought after, a purpose created out of good, may not end good. And so, If thirteen year old Izzie Soya wants to kill herself, because it's less than effortless, could, should, would, you blame her? No? I didn't think so. You'd probably even agree with her. Am I wrong?

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.
