A Summary of my Book of Scraps

Summaries:

Pickles

Genre: Romance, Young Adult, (plot with a twist)

Summary: What a way to end the summer: being bugged by your little sister right after you’ve just had a big fight with your best friend. Time might be running out, but there’s always time for change… at least, you can dream that.

Notes: Ends with a twist, which is the point. A short one-shot I wrote late last night because I felt like writing something random. And no, I haven’t had any pickles to eat for a while.

Betrayal

Genre: Parody, Drama, Action

Summary: A one-shot about the betrayal of Justin, and how he seeks revenge. A unconnected Elements of our Days fantasy.

Rating: T (a bit of violence)

Color My World

Genre: Young Adult, Irony, Romance,

Summary: Cheap jeans, worthless concert tickets, ruined relationships… life never made sense. Not that she expected it to, but she always had this hope that each new day would turn into an adventure where she could defeat evil, find her true love, and find her happy ending. Little did she realize, however, that happiness was only a pair of sunglasses away.

Notes: Something random I wrote, and I think it’s written better than most of my stuff. It’s kind of dark, not my usual style. No idea what was going through my head.

Rating: T for scary concerts! Lol, jk
