Congrats!

“Please! No!” I screamed, bolting awake. Groaning, I realized that I was at home and that it had all been a dream. I turned over to try to go back to sleep. My heart was beating a mile a minute, and my breathing was heavy. I started to feel the pain in my lungs as I desperately willed myself to calm down. I started counting doubles to distract myself and relax. “2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192...” After a few moments of this, I started feeling my heart rate slow

That's pretty damn cool.

Chapter #1 My life has been hard. Sure, everyone has stuff happen in their lives, it’s impossible to escape. To have had a perfect, happy life goes against some unwritten rule of life; it just doesn’t happen. Ever. Frankly, I think it would be a pretty boring life, too. Sure, some people get lucky and only need to worry about which kind of car their daddy will spring for them for their sweet sixteen. Their biggest worry is when they wake up in the morning and wonder who they’ll date this week

Andrew's life has been difficult. Follow along as he talks about the difficulties he experiences and the love he finds. This story promises no shortage of pain, sorrow and tragedy with very little happiness to fill in the gaps.

Amazing. Very well written and a fantastic plot. I noticed you hinted at several potential plot twists and that's very exciting. This looks to be a really good story and one I will most definitely be looking forward to reading further.

If more people are interested then we can have a gameeee.

Hey. So, on another forum I introduced a forum game called mafia and it's been a big hit. It's a forum game (obviously) and is played over the course of a few weeks (sometimes the game will run 2 or more months, but that's rare). It's a lot of fun, and I was wondering if y'all were interested in playing as well? Everything's done on the game thread or via private message. General information can be found here: http://www.mafiascum...le=Newbie_Guide If enough people are interested (which would require a minimum of 12 people) then I can setup a game and let everyone try it out. 1.

Happy birthday, have a good one.

I apologize for the length and I'm sorry if there's any duplicated. This is from another thread and I copied the quotes that I thought were pretty profound and made a statement about life.

Do wrong to none." - William Shakespeare "Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself." - Richard M.

You are the one who gets burned." - Gautama Buddha "If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't." -Chuck Palahniuk

This is scary.

I'd love to be a squirrel. According to that "Find your Spirit Animal" test, I'm an Owl.

Hey everyone, glad to be here.

I didn't do anything for Halloween. I went out with my younger brother, and only then because it isn't a good idea for him to go alone.

I like my profile picture. :3
