Are things always as they seem.

High school was over and one last summer stood between Trevor and Dustin's future. A summer they dreamed of for the last four years. Countless hours of planning and dreaming. A cross country road trip. Just the two of them and wherever the road may lead. But things were more complicated than that.

Trevor was struggling with new feelings for his best friend. Feelings he can't quite figure out. Feelings that scared him shitless. Dustin was acting weird too. A shift in their friendship dynamic. They both knew something was up. Driving down the highway with no escape, will these two best friends survive their last hurrah together?

Another Coming-of-age story. I am sure you are bored and tired of it already. But then, you have never heard of Sandy, a cute teenager in India and his growing secret crush on his classmate, the super hot and popular boy called Varun...blah, blah, blah. Ok, i agree, its not like you have never read or watched a story like that before, but then there is a twist in this story. In the world of Heartstopper & Young Royals, where same sex attraction is quite normal, we need a perception from India. Being the only gay boy who is filled with raging sexual hormones in your college can be complicated, isn't it?

Twelve-year-old Simon stands in the play yard breaking his best friend's heart, and is doing it for all the 'wrong reasons' – reasons of fear-based bigotry and homophobia. He must decide whose side he is on, and remembers the school year as a series of ups and downs, and of joys and sorrows. One memory may be able to make him do the right thing after all, if he can accept its message.

14-year-old Aiden Desmond is used to knowing things others don't. He knows about things from books his friends don’t read, things on tests in higher grades, things that happen that adults don’t talk about, and about bad days on a person's personal calendar, days when things happened, that divided their life into "Before" and "After."

But that didn’t prepare him for things like this. Two secrets, two radical shifts in what he knew. Aiden is used to knowing things others don't, but to get used to these things, he needs answers.

Since it's 'back to school' season, I'm just adding something to the site that I wrote exclusively for Imagine Magazine last year! Just something that I did for fun! How many Easter Eggs can you guys pick out of this one? Hehehe, read it and find out!

Lucky, the newest heir to the Prince Charming title, wants nothing more than to fall in love and live happily ever after with his own prince . Instead, he's being forced by his father to marry a woman with long hair from a tower who would much rather cut it all off, so she too can be become the hero of her own fairy tale. But with the help of the Big Bad Wolf/officer, Lucky goes on an adventure to break the curse of his newfound friends, while finding love from the most unlikely person in today's world where the fairest women and the most charming men become celebrities and the stuff of legends.

Contemporary fiction short story, it's sad and for some hopefully an eye opener.

Dialogue heavy with moderate language and scenes not for the weak of heart.

verse written in a pivotal year for me
