December 18, 1997
Today Zach broke my heart. Before home room, Matt handed me a letter in an envelope. I opened it in homeroom and it said:
Dear Emily,
I’d like you to know you are officially dumped. I hope you cry. C’mon, two months is a long time to be going out, you’d think you’d be able to trust me. I should have listened to Matt on this one. If you want another chance, I might consider going out with you again, but now I want to leave you with three parting words: GO FUCK YOURSELF!
HAHAHAHAHA
Zach
I felt like my throat had been ripped open and my voice box had been torn out. I felt tears in my eyes, but the “I hope you cry” part made me more than ever determined not to.
There was a substitute teacher for almost every class today and normally that would have been awesome, but now I was too depressed to enjoy it.
I gave the note to Steph to read and Ms. Welsh took it away from her. Because of the swears, Zach has a detention on Monday after school.
In the locker room after gym class, I started to cry. But it was so weird. I wasn’t really crying – like, tears weren’t coming out of my eyes, but I was shaking pretty hard and make involuntary sobbing sounds. It hurt. I couldn’t believe Zach would do such a thing. It was only the day before that he had knelt next to my chair at lunch and whispered in my ear.
Every girl sympathized with me and said they hated Zach. I was sad, though, and I couldn’t claim I hated him. What made it even worse is that Emma came up to me and said, “Zach says he never liked you.” How could he saythat? Now that he is gone, I realize how much I love him. When I got home from school, I just threw myself on my bed and cried till my face hurt.

[I’m struck by my claim, “Now that he is gone, I realize how much I love him.” It seems like a bizarre conclusion after an unusually cruel breakup letter. And what the heck, Emma? Chicks over dicks wasn’t a thing yet, I guess.]

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.

The only good goblin is one with a sword sticking out of it, as my father used to say. I tried to incorperate LitRPG elements. I'm only recently introduced to the genre, but I find it really fasinating! So intrigued I even started writing a little story expressing my joy of all things numerical! This story has a focus on hardwork and deliberate progression, no magical deus ex machinas here sorry.
