《He Never Loved Me (#Wattys2019)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"I wish I was as numb as everyone thinks I am." I thought to herself, "The girl who doesn't feel anymore; The girl who doesn't care. The selfish, self-interested girl who couldn't care any less about what anyone has to say. "
MY eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As I blinked, they dripped from my eyelids and slid down my cheeks. I bit my lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape, my lower lip quivered as words slowly made their way out. . .
"But I know that I am not, and I never will be that girl," I confess.
My heart is broken. It's in pieces, every piece has a jagged end. These edges poke at me from the inside every time I move, even every time I breath. I was forever tormented by a past that could not be undone, fine on the outside, hurt in the inside.
My hair is straightened out for the first time since the break up, my eyelashes curled, and my outfit cascade. I have my head held high, and my mouth in a coy smile that radiated my innocent soul.
There were days I would awake and my memories weighed heavy. The morning radio came to me through a haze and the smiles of others were no more real than the pixelated icons on my phone. It was temporary of course, but in that permanent way; however high I rose and how long I stayed away this was the base-line I would always return to.
Inside, I was bleeding. How am I even capable of surviving? Sometimes the pain isn't even metaphorical. It is real. Like someone is clawing at my heart, like I'm having a cardiac arrest, sometimes I just want to curl and throw up.
I couldn't eat anymore, found the sight of food revolting. No one seemed to ask if I was okay when they heard the news, they only assumed I was on some cool new diet. I mean lets be honest, Could the popular and maybe even famous Kay possibly be depressed?

He wasn't blessed to become an ability user. In a brink of death, Wei Xiaodan suddenly got sucked into a dark gate, meeting an old demon who's highly interested in him. The old demon taught him ancient cultivation arts and everything it knew, until the day for him to rise came afloat.

Ruins of Dalághast
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old. For those who want to see my work months earlier than it will be released here, alongside exclusive artwork and other perks, consider supporting me and my work on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/atlaswrites

More than Human? (Hiatus until late June/early July)
This is a story of two worlds. One filled with sentient robots and the other with humans and magic. The fate of these very different worlds intertwine as our MC Ryuu, a human boy, is the only survivor of a galactic experiment carried out by these robots. Due to his survival, the robots target humanity and desire to capture all humans for their own gains. Humanity is on the edge of extinction and they don’t even know it. Despite the changes within Ryuu, can he stay true to humanity? Or will the 'experiment' change Ryuu into something more than human? Perhaps something less? --------------This is my first fiction so I hope you all enjoy! New chapter every Saturday. OLD READERS: You are few in number, but possibly out there? Sorry for leaving you hanging for so long but in this time I’ve had a considerable number of ideas for the plot and have gathered myself together. I’ve rewritten the prologue and chapter one slightly which I highly encourage you to read again for the new plot details which will become important in due time, as well as to refresh your memory. Thanks again for taking an interest in this one’s work.
