!FULL SCREEN RECOMMENDED! First: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1260363720/ Next: Not Posted --- Hello! Welcome to the first chapter of my book, Bruises That Won't Heal! It's heavily inspired by the song "No Surprises" by Radiohead, a song I deeply admire. The book blurb is below! Daniel Wren learned how to breathe again on the floor of Victoria Vale’s bedroom, glow-in-the-dark stars dripping silver above them while “No Surprises” played on repeat like a lullaby against the dark. She was the only person who ever made the world feel bright enough to stay in. Then one ordinary spring afternoon, windows down and the song still soft in the background, a single second took her away. Now, senior year is a hallway of slammed lockers and muted colors, and Daniel sleeps only on his half of the bed, leaving room for a ghost who will never come back. Some nights he still presses play, just to remember what peach-gold felt like when love was a living thing. This is the story of the 417 days after the crash, of a heart that’s full up like a landfill, and of the quiet, stubborn hope that maybe bruises can still teach you how to heal. A devastatingly tender novel about depression, young love, and learning to live in a world that suddenly forgot how to be kind. --- If you wish to be pinged when the next chapters are released, please leave a comment below and I will add you to a list!!
