《Adam and...Jonah?》Chapter 1
Advertisement
[This is Adam's POV]
I've never met someone like him, like Jonah, my "best friend". It all started when we were in elementary school. I wasn't the most sociable or funny kid there, but Jonah was, he was also really noisy, not like he isn't it to this day. he would always find something to complain about. I was sitting on one of the two swings that were in the playground near the school, all alone,waiting for my mother to come and pick me up.Then he came. I do not know what went through his mind, but he just came and sat on the swing near mine. "Hey! Do you want to be my friend?" he loudly said to me, "uhm...ok... what's your name...?" I replied, unsure if it was a dare one of the other kids forced him to do, "I'm Jonah! And you?" He rapidly responded. Some seconds of silence passed, as i tried to think positively about what was happening. "I...i'm Adam..." i said while realizing he was actually waiting for an answer. " that's cool! I will see you tomorrow at school Adam! Now i have to go..." he sadly yelled at me, while I slowly waved at him. To this day, he is even more loud and jealous than he was when we were six years old. We are in high school now, well...uhm... we are always skipping, so not much into the school. I do not know how we passed those classes, in fact we are both gonna be seniors this year. Me and Jonah are together all the time, and this made me discover all about him and his personality. I know how much he hates one of our classmates, Eve is her name. Jonah hates Eve mainly because she was one of my ex-girlfriends. She isn't one of the most loyal girlfriends in the school, but she decided that it was a good idea to play with my feelings, but her plan sadly failed, I knew she would want to be my girlfriend because i am "popular" apparently,which is all thanks to Jonah by the way, so i decided to play her game too. Jonah dislikes Eve with his whole heart...well he is also pretty jealous sometimes, i cannot talk to anyone that is not him, because he would get mad at me, he is worse than every girl I've ever played in this school. My mother is dead, so i am more likely to be alone or with Jonah. He likes to come over to my mother's house, where i live, and spend time with me, because his parents don't mind him being away, so he just does it. I also enjoy it. This evening i hear a furious knocking on my door. I recognize him by the way he knocks on my door, so i take my time before answering him, he also is aware of it. After making him wait a good five minutes, i open the door

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
