    Thank you, appreciate you reading all the way through and sticking with the story.
  3. “Canine Salsa,” I announced with enthusiasm, popping my head into Derek's office. He raised an eyebrow. “Canine Salsa?” he repeated, frazzled. “That's the name of the new doggy dance class!” I replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. My arm was finally healing, and I was ready to step into the studio. He pondered it for a moment, then smiled. “I like it!” Two months later, Canine Salsa became the “IT” class. From couples looking for an unusual first date idea
  4. That's cool, it's your prerogative to be a logic lord.
  5. 2. MYSTERIOUS STRANGER The dreary sound of the alarm woke me. I lay on the bed for a long while, rubbing my eyes and mentally preparing for another day at Baritone High. Last night, the flickering lamp had cast long shadows as I wrestled with Maratoni's essay. I didn’t want to guess the type of wrath that would fall upon me if I didn’t hand in one of his assignments on time. Thankfully, my status as a Special granted me the privilege of my own single room, which offered plenty of pri
  6. Personally, I think Astrology is a fascinating concept. It doesn't consciously guide any of my romantic decisions, but I do always end up drawn to the same 2 zodiac signs over and over again...so take whatever conclusion you want out of that 😄
  7. I just finished "I Know This Much Is True" on HBO. It's based on a great book by Wally Lamb, and Mark Ruffalo's acting is superb. But quick warning for anyone interested in seeing it: it is extremely depressing.
  8. Thank you for catching that! I need to stop writing at night and getting my names confused haha.
  9. When I wake up, I feel a tingling sensation running through my body: fear. Someone's in the room. Someone is sitting in the armchair by the closet. Watching me. “Hunt?” “Hello my love,” he replies. It's strange, the contradiction between a killer and a lover. I now know everything he's done, yet he looks exactly the same. The same hair, the same eyes, the same full lips. My head is throbbing in pain, and I feel a trickle of blood running down the side of my temple from the ea
  10. “It is not more surprising to be born twice than once.” — Voltaire 1. NEW BEGINNINGS “You’re frustrated,” Vinicius stated plainly, his mouth holding a gentle smile for me. I slumped further back in the worn armchair, the weight of my future pressing down on me. "I am," I admitted, my voice heavy. Maybe honesty was the best policy after all, and something would magically change if I could just convey to my mentor how burdened I was with my future destiny, and

    Sacrum

    A product of a sterile lab, Dani is a vampire unlike any other — he's never known humanity. Under the watchful eye of his enigmatic mentor, Vinicius, Dani has lived an existence utterly isolated from society, leaving him profoundly naive to its ways. When Vinicius is abruptly taken, Dani's sheltered world crumbles, leaving him woefully unprepared for what lies beyond. Now, he's thrown into the chaos of a vampire high school, where he must grapple with the treacherous currents of adolescence and the desires of his non-beating heart.

  14. After Fran leaves on her wild goose chase, I start pacing the apartment. The sun is going down, and the city is slowly melting into darkness. Obviously, Francesca has completely lost her mind. Hopefully someone at the police station will enlighten her. Better yet, the guy will get caught and she’s going to go back to Pittsburgh and get her own damn life. But for some reason, there is unease in my chest. I text Hunter. I need to hear him. I need him to laugh at this and tell me how insane it

  17. Every beautiful thing has an expiration date. Today is yours. If you knew today was your last day, would you have done anything differently? Would you have quit your job and went paddle boarding in Wethersfield Cove? Would you have forgot about your diet and had that donut in the morning? Would you have picked up the phone to call that one person—you know which one—and told them how much you loved them? How they were the only one for you, and would always be the only one? Well… would you?

    Solid guesses
  22. “What if it’s Hunter?” Francesca said, and I almost choked on my avocado toast. After he had left for work, I told her everything that was on my mind. And how I realized he’d been distant and cold for a while now. “Excuse me?” I asked. “The Hartford Menace. What if it’s Hunter?” I waited for a second to give her the opportunity to laugh and say she was joking. But her face remained firm. “Let me get this straight. You’re suggesting my boyfriend is a serial killer,” I replied, not
  23. Thank you for reading.
  24. The yellow cab exhaled as it rolled to a slow stop in front of the quaint four-bedroom house nestled at the end of Fall River Street. The house reminded Addison of a mausoleum, untouched by the passing of time and preserving everything on the inside without any discernment. The golden red fall leaves swept along the front yard like a royal cape. This picture was exactly why local real estate agents would favor fall as the best time for their listings, the foliage added a type of natural magic th
