NBHT: Season 2
Beautiful couldn't come close to describe it. It was breath taking.

"Oh – today is your birthday, isn't it? A birthday needs a cake," she said matter-of-factly.
What a bad joke. Should she celebrate her failure?
She'd never believed in love at first sight, but he'd changed that.

"It wasn't all bad," Alejandro said. "But I'm glad it's over now."

"Like I said, she's nuts. She's kinda... tied my hands."

"I'd be happy if we could be friends again," she said.

"Come on, Cookie, why are you like that?" he lamented, "why you keep playin' hard to get?"

Almost Eternal
April Moss has always lived in her famous mother’s shadow. Will she find the light she is looking for or will she just end up somewhere darker?
Follow clueless April and co. as they navigate their way through the mire of mystery, horror and the supernatural, where the highs are high, the lows feel bottomless and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
Almost Eternal is best described as tragicomedy with a good dash of thriller: you will laugh, you may cry, you will probably rage quit at some point.
What people say about this steaming pile of crap wonder of storytelling:
- Boy meets girl; boy turns girl; boy and girl cause absolute chaos - Yimi
- This story always does this to me: I’m having a grand time and then gradually realize that the room is on fire - Ferosh
- Like having a pin-sized paddle and rowing out into a sea of chaos - Mercury
- It’s not terrible, I just don’t want to read it - my partner
Shall we begin?

For all Linda believed, her friendship with Frank was done and over.

"Oy! Damn right, it's Diana!" a remotely familiar voice called.

"I'm just so disappointed!" Mae finished, then took a big sip of her strawberry milkshake and smacked the glass on the table with a little more force than necessary. The cold drink refresh her heated body, but not her heated mood.
She was here again. Mariella could hear her voice through the open door, full of glee and pretense. She heard her dad's voice, too, though it was much quieter. Mariella hated how sheepish and embarrassed he sounded around her. Since That Day she came to their house almost every day, brought soggy ravioli and meddling advice on what would be best for Mariella now, neither she'd been asked for.

Linda watched her cup of tea. The afternoon sun drew golden circles on the clear amber surface and below it danced a few stray black tea flakes. How easy it must be to be one of them, dancing and not having to worry ever. Of course they could not, they had no brains and no consciousness that would let them. But what if they had, Linda wondered, would they worry about being poured out in the drain once the cup was empty and rinsed? Or would they dance even wilder, if they were aware that their life soon would change so drastically – well, not life, certainly, they did not meet the six criteria to be classified as such, however –

Alejandro took a deep breath of the cool night air. The scent of freedom.
As much as Rita throwing him out had been a bucket of ice water over his head, in hindsight it was the best thing that’d happened to him since he'd made his love for music a profession. Sure, it was with Rita's help and – you could say, ‘light pressure’, after all, it was Rita who’d arranged the connections to his agent at the time.
"Your reputation is already in the gutter- at least no one will care if you're in that kind of business" she’d said.

Linda’s confession bothered Frank all the way home. He wouldn't have thought either Linda or Mae were the type to have an affair with a married man. Both women seemed as if they had a good head on their shoulders and strong principles. Still, he'd have been less surprised if it’d been Mae instead of Linda.
NBHT: Season 2
The campus was noisier than usual, and it seemed every corner and side alley was occupied with intoxicated students and other young people from the town that took the opportunity to party with cheap alcohol and other substances in abundance. The semester had just started and everyone wanted to enjoy their last days of freedom before homework, projects and practical courses would pile up.
NBHT: Season 2
Linda hesitated to enter the bar. Frank had invited her to joint him at the Snake's Nest whenever she felt like having a drink, and she had followed his invitation more and more frequently, until their meetings had become a habit. Not only Frank, but also his friends, Paolo, Marcus, George, and Dina, who were other regulars, had welcomed her warmly, and Linda had begun to wonder if she could consider them her friends too. During these evenings she had probably learned more about baseball and football than in the whole rest of her life.
