Darlings
by Ashley Swisher
Alcoholic District Attorney Darling’s
eighteen-year-old daughter, Gwendylon, had finally realized the bedtime stories
told by her pill popping mother were true, though not without struggle.A
senior at Parks Point high, she dreamt of a time when she didn’t have to be mom
to her sixteen year old rebellious brother Jonah, and six year old super hero
enthralled Mike. College and freedom. That was all she had ever wanted…until
freedom no longer became an option thanks to Pete, a boyishly handsome newcomer
and his quiet, massive and dark foster brother Andrew. When her fate is
painfully revealed as the princess of an endangered world, known as Everland,
Gwen must escape the clutches of Jamison Hookner, leader of the gruesome pirates
set on stopping her, and save the childhood world she had come to know every
night around eight o’ clock.
