A Cinderella Story
In a modern retelling of the classic tale Cinderella, it follows high schooler Samantha who lives with her stepmother Fiona and stepsisters after the death of her father ten years before. She does not receive any respect from them or anyone else at her school, except her longtime friend Carter. She works at a diner that Fiona owns and only the longtime manager Rhonda shows Samantha appreciation. In her spare time she goes to her online pen pal named “Nomad” who happens to be Austin the school quarterback with aspirations of his own. So comes the Halloween dance which is the night she has to work but Rhonda helps her out so she could attend and meet with her prince charming, Austin as she is Cinderella.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
