I stopped walking after 3 hours.
But, for once, it wasn't because I was tired, it was because I felt guilty. I had felt it the moment I left the small town and for three hours I debated on the reason why.
My mind went berserk trying to figure it out, but for some reason, I just couldn't. I wanted to leave it, to push away the feeling but it was so powerful that it made me feel weak.
I sighed, confused as to what I was going to do. I stared at the sky, hoping to find a moment of peace, the one that I used to feel. Instead, I felt a like there was a war within me.
I was lonely.
I was bored.
I was tired.
I was sad.
I was guilty.
I was angry.
But
I wanted to be alone.
I didn't want to do anything anyway.
I was okay with feeling sad.
I didn't know why I was guilty.
And I felt calm.
My feelings and emotions were contradicting themselves.
I sat down for a moment, took a deep breath in and a deep breath out. It'll be okay. I didn't know if it was me who told myself that, or if someone else was in my mind. But I couldn't care less, because at that moment, I finally made a decision.
I was going back to that stupid little town.
I smiled slightly, knowing I now had something to do, and I nearly felt relieved that I was going back.
I stood up and went to begin walking but I stopped myself before I could even make a single step.
I had no idea which direction I had came from. With all my thoughts and mind battles, I had completely lost track of my path and where I was meant to go. I wanted to yell out in frustration but instead pulled at my hair.

After a few moments, I knew I had no option but to make a lucky guess and go for it.
I looked in every direction, seeing that everything looked exactly the same. I noticed at a small bush, deciding that it looked familiar. I hesitated for a moment before walking, praying that my guessing skills were accurate.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
