Despair

Before you dive into this story, here are a few things that have been thought out to enrich your experience. >The structure of this book is a bit different than you may be used to: As this book is written in first person, the use of language, structuring of sentences, and such will not conform to a traditional literary style— this is purely intentional. Every word has been crafted to fit within the limitations of the character's abilities, experience, and self-awareness. Don't take me wrong, I tremendously enjoy writing in other styles when the works call for it. Nonetheless, a writer's job is not to use the biggest or prettiest words, but rather the right ones. >This story includes Music Tracks! They're not merely there for ambiance, though that's definitely one aspect of it. Each song will contain Oliver's energy and/or matching lyrics, Ian's, or a blend of the two. I trust you'll be able to sense it in each case! These songs not only tell something the character may be feeling and can't express at the moment, but they can also refer to something they felt in the past or will be feeling in the future. I strongly suggest looking into each of the lyrics once the chapter is over to fully understand the nature of the characters and their bond. When the text is too long, play the song on repeat until another song comes along!
