About Me

Grace M2: I'm basically just your average teenager.. I have a passion for writing and actually work for our town's local paper. I'm working on a book at the moment called "Beneath the Ashes." It's about a girl battling an eating disorder.I'm not sure when it will be finished - probably a long time from now since I am so busy. Anyway, if you want to get to know me better, keep on reading. I'd like any comments, criticism, etc.

Clouds

The clouds told a story. I saw a mushroom, a turtle, and a friendly pirate waving at me. I was 5 again. I smiled and looked down at myself, viewing my reflection in the rear-view mirror. I'm not 5. I looked back up at the clouds and their shapes were gone, there was no story to tell. I just saw a lump of white condensation that I would fall through if I tried to sit on it. I'm 17 years old, facing a dangerous world and danger within myself.
