Championing The Wind on Fire Trilogy
I wasn't sure about entering this challenge at first as I wouldn't say fantasy is my main genre and I assumed there would be many stories about the more mainstream fantasy series I like such as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. I went to check my bookcase and that's when The Wind On Fire trilogy jumped out at me. The nostalgia hit me like a big yellow school bus friends. I was a big Point Horror and Goosebumps fan as a kid but this is the first connected book series I remember being so into that I was hanging out for the next before it was even published. Remember the hype on Harry Potter launch day, when bookshops used to open at midnight & then lots of people had finished reading by the following morning? That was me with The Wind on Fire trilogy. I'm not good at getting rid of books anyway but I think that's why these still have a place on my bookcase.

Dreamer - Chapter 5
Disclaimer: This story has multiple parts. You can find the previous chapter here. I quickly turned around in self defense expecting to see Rev standing right behind me, waiting for the perfect time to grab ahold of me and shove me back into that stupid truck of his but no one was there. Assuming I was just imagining scenarios in my head, I continued to walk towards the direction from before.

My Life’s Journey - Unfiltered
What is that buzzing ? That excruciating sound, combined with what feels like my heartbeat thumping inside of my head ? I groan as I roll over in bed, matched by a much deeper groan beside me, followed by a fit of laughter.

Fatal
Part One: The Diagnosis I was 18 months when my parents got the news. This diagnosis would be apart of me for the rest of my life well what little life I had. You might be wondering what it was, the illness to change my life for ever. Well I wont drag on like some other stories I had Cystic fibrosis more commonly known as CF. The way the doctors came to the conclusion that I did in fact have CF at such a young age was due to my weight. See one of the more commonly know symptoms was low weight even if the child or in my case toddler has a decent appetite. According to my mom and multiple doctors my appetite should of made me over weight but, I was only the size of an average 12 month baby. That symptom with several tests conformed that I had CF.

ii ☆ GRIEF ACTS WORSE AT NIGHT 7:26 PM NEARLY AN hour passed before Griffin finally pulled up to Sid’s house. Without a word, he pulled her into a hug, his heart going out to her. “Thank you,” she whispered, leaning into him. She was grateful that he’d been there for her all day long, always seeming to care about how she was feeling in every situation that challenged her right to grieve. She wanted to forget her loss for a bit. Just a few hours. But it seemed like when she pushed it to the back of her mind, somehow the universe figured out a way to remind her.

iii ☆ WELCOME TO GLITTERA FALLS SID FURROWED her eyebrows in confusion at the stranger’s words. “Who are you and who is we?” He tilted his head at her question, seeming to slip into another personality entirely. He cleared his throat, a wide grin spreading across his face.

THE GLITTERATI ☆ i
i ☆ PINS & NEEDLES Hayward High 2:47 PM SID CARVER stared straight ahead at the date written in the top corner of the whiteboard. April 24th. A date that haunted her for the past two years. A forever reminder of the day she lost her father to cancer. She could remember the way he looked, the way his last breath sounded like it was yesterday. The way life faded from his eyes as they searched hers for something familiar to hold onto. Anything. The sobs that escaped her mother’s throat moments after he was gone. It seemed to play out right before her eyes, no regard for the desks housing students around her or the impending figure of her calculus teacher as he walked toward her.
