Carina's life is affected greatly if not negatively by her facial flaws, as nobody wants much to do with her. Yet, they say don't judge a book by its cover.

   In a world where physical appearances are highly revered she finds herself struggling to keep up with these preferences which gets worse when she decides to take a job in the city, the melting pot of cultures-much to her father's chagrin.

  A few new people in her life, a wicked twist of envy and deceit and that's all it takes for her world to start crumbling all around her.

  Can she weather the storms that threatens to drown her therein and will her faith be rekindled along the line or will she lose it entirely?

Scar Red

One day when we were little, I had asked Jared why he spoke to me and identified with me when many others didn't, not even his other friends. 


He had told me this; "Well, people see what they wanna see and I choose to see something different. I saw a pure, innocent heart, one that was brave and powerful. And...that's you." 


If only Louisa could see me differently, maybe she could finally accept me. 


We were seated around the dining table, having dinner, and ever since she set her eyes on me again, well, let's just say that my presence seemed to soil her very mood. 


She had accepted my greetings and even managed to feign a smile. Yeah, as long as I still looked the way I was, and hung out with her son, even a thousand years wouldn't change her attitude toward me. 


I had refused to let her bad energy weigh me down that evening and currently, I was very close to abandoning table etiquettes and attacking my meal as I masticated on my rice.
