Where sunshine abounds, except as I said before calamity seems to strike in twos. Our next misfortune started in a topsy-turvy fun house full of brain-teasing illusions, each clues unlocking another room packed with splintered reality. Which was awesome at first. Until Mason shattered in a room full of mirrors and I became trapped inside…

SStepping out of the carriage, both men stretched, hoping that particular action would alleviate their aching muscles, a direct result from their jarring ride, and said their goodnights, although almost daylight, to go their separate ways.

If you had asked my mother, she would have described me as a gnat. I was constantly asking her every few minutes, when my dad was going to be there. All I ever wanted was to be in his truck, singing along with him to “Paint Me a Birmingham” like we did every other couple of months when he was around. This was our way…

The red and black alarm vibrates beside the thin mattress, never being too loud as she didn’t want to wake The Man Upstairs. That’s what we call him, The Man Upstairs. When you wake up in here you wake up slowly, so you don’t really…

while forgetting Maxen had roamed from one foreign kingdom to another, alone. He’d not enjoyed the benefits of friends and family at her side, as she had. She imagined most of his relationships remained casual and businesslike, and he had not spent a single night in a woman’s arms or bed for close to sixteen years. Her heart broke for him, and she promised herself right then she would do everything she could for the rest of her days to ease his pain and shower him with love. If he’d allow it.…

¨Perseverance is the secret of all triumphs¨-Victor Hugo, this quote explains what my story is really about how I persevered through one of the most nerve racking games I have ever played in in my life. This game meant so much to me because I had to make my family proud, there was 100+ college and pro scouts there, and I had to pick up the win for my team. This was one of the best times in my life to test what I have been working for my whole life and to test my perseverance towards the game of…
