you're not dying you're waking up

Fake it 'til you make it has been the motto I live by since my mother died. I'm also doing a really bad job at the making it part. The night we met, I was at my lowest. But you gave me a reason to feel happy again. For the first time in over a year, I was optimistic. You and I? We're the same. Don't form attachments. Follow the rules. Don't dream of a future. Too bad our hearts wouldn't listen. And this storm we're going through? The one that threatens to rip us apart? It doesn't care that I'm falling for you. Falling for You is created by Jennifer Van Wyk, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

The things we want are so very rarely the things we need. Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo’s County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful. But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen. Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new... Until night falls once more. Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy’s Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

BE WITH YOU (TAGALOG) Lumaki si Adeline Pendleton sa isang mayamang pamilya. Nasa kanya ang lahat ng gusto ng isang tao sa buhay. Kayamanan, katanyagan, kagandahan, pera, mga damit na taga-disenyo, at mga masasarap na pagkain. Lahat, maliban sa lalaking mahal niya- si Drake Wright. Si Drake Wright ay ang tagapagmana ng Wright's Corporation. Sa kanyang murang edad, bumuo ang kanyang mga magulang ng isang imperyo na mamanahin niya balang araw. Okay ang lahat para sa kanya, hanggang sa nasangkot ang kanyang ama sa isang seryosong sitwasyon na nakaapekto sa kanilang kumpanya. Sinabihan siya ng kanyang mga magulang na malulugi ang kanilang kumpanya at ang tanging makakalutas sa kanilang problema ay dapat niyang pakasalan ang anak ng kanilang kaibigan- si Adeline Pendleton. Hindi niya gusto ang babae dahil ito ay masyadong walang muwang para sa kanya; naiinis siya sa presensya nito, at may mahal na siyang iba. Sa kasamaang palad, may malubhang karamdaman din ang kanyang ama at wala siyang magawa sa kanilang kumpanya kaya't humingi ito sa kanya ng pabor na ayusin ang problema para sa kanya. "Marry her, son. That's the only way. If you won't, maglalaho lahat ng sinakripisyo at ginawa namin ng ina mo para sa kumpanya natin." Sabi ng ama ni Drake habang nakahiga sa kanyang kama, hindi maigalaw ang kanyang mga kamay. Ano kaya ang mangyayari sa one-sided at broken marriage nina Drake at Adeline?

O mamumulaklak ang pag-ibig sa gitna ng bawat poot at hindi pagkakaunawaan?
