Bluerings

Nellie and her younger brother Peter had suffered a great deal of abuse and hardship at the hands of their stepmother, father, birth mother, and even a boy she adored. 

Nellie's greatest wish throughout all of this was to find a place where she could leave happily with her brother without fear of their past following them both. But then another misfortune occurred, leading her to believe that no matter how hard she tried, her dreams would always be out of reach. 

However, things improve when Nellie meets a boy named Delian, who teaches her that life can be both kind and cruel and that it is not always one-sided. 

What happens when Nellie's now peaceful and almost perfect life is upended by an evil from her past life, who now claims to have nothing but good in its guts?

Dark Tunnel

To me, happiness has always been an impossible ambition that could never take the shape of possibility even in my wildest dreams. For how could it? When nothing ever seemed to go my way. 


Grandma Melody or Nana as I now referred to her, had, like she promised, taken me back to the dreaded place I once called home. 


For some, it would have been a pretty scary experience going back to such a place, given that they had spent most of their youthful life trying to escape its shackles. But that wasn't the case for me. 


Bouncing slightly on my seat, one could see the obvious-as-day excitement radiating off of me. I noticed Nana and Marie smiling as they watched me express my immense happiness. 


Now having the time to really look at the little child's haggard appearance from head to toe, Nana could feel her old heart squeeze and erupt into many emotions. Love, pain, shame and regret could be found at the very top of that list.
