Delilah Brightmanhide bio
 Author has written 33 stories for Nature, Life, General, Friendship, Family, General, Love, and Essay. Delilah Brightman is a name I stole from my imagination; my character, to be exact. I am a teenage girl living in a bustling city with a love for life and a passion for words. I love the smell of the rain and the sound of it when it pounds on the roof, lulling you to sleep. I love the feel of dew on my feet when I run around my backyard in the early morning. I love my family and I love my friends, who become family. I love creativity and challenges; experiments and solutions. I love reading and writing and learning. I love to discover and I love to explain. I love curiosity and spellcheck, it is my best friend. I love nature and the wonder of the world. I love how the earth itself pulses with energy, just like a heartbeat. I love vintage clothing and cheap clothes. I love antiques and plays and my eight porcelain dolls. I love dried roses and old-fashioned quilts. I love to laugh and I love to love. All my work is dedicated to my fifth grade teacher who encouraged my affair with the fictional world and turned a dreamer into a writer. You can see my Polyvore sets of my characters (and some Disney) here: |

The World as We Know it by TheyCallMePotataSalad reviews
As I scanned the horizon, I remembered the books I once found, pictures of this exact horizon, once filled with buildings that touched the sky, gleaming with profound arrogance; like giant knights in shining amour, standing before the sun. That horizon was long gone, replaced by a dark, melancholia decay. Much of the world was that now; a dark, endless decay.
