Stories from "Sanity's War"
Charlie Avinash Nicholas

Dear lovers of literature, I have a book that may interest you and its name is "Sanity's War". My book contains humor, tragedy, and triumph. "Sanity's War" consists of 6 short stories and one of those stories unites them all. Here's a brief overview of those stories:

1.


This war story is a fantasy in the vein of "A Game of Thrones", "Lord of the Rings", and "The Chronicles of Narnia". Out of the 6 stories, this is the most difficult one that I wrote because of its intricate nature.

Content Advisory: Contains graphic violence.

2.

This semi-abstract and highly symbolic story is the first of the 6 which I wrote. This non-linear tale has traits with "Cloud Atlas", "Radiance", and "The Blue Fox".

Content Advisory: Contains thematic elements revolving the loss of innocence and it contains brief startling violence.

3.

This is a drama about a young girl who, despite her own pain, gives hope to someone in need.

This story shares attributes with "Reason to Breathe", "Sold", and"Bridge to Terabithia".

Content Advisory: Contains themes which deal with the effects of human trafficking.

4.

This fantasy tale deals with the discomfort of sadness and love's requirement for it.

This story fits in the wheelhouse of "The Forsaken", "The Babadook", and "The Young Elites".

Content Advisory: Contains elements of horror, violence, and distressing scenes about death.

5.

This drama arguably contains the most intensely spirit lifting humor, the most hard hitting tragedy, and the most powerful level of hope. This story has a bittersweet ending that is nevertheless triumphant.

If you're a fan of this story, you may enjoy "All the Bright Places", "Everything We Keep", and "The Lake House".

Content Advisory: Sexual content, bloody images, and intense themes dealing with emotional/physical pain. Also contains some distressing scenes revolving around death.

6.

Sequences of poetry and dialogue form a loose narrative in this story.

If you're a fan of "The Leap", "Invisible Cities", or "The Waves", then you may have particular interest in this story.

Content Advisory: Some brief graphic violence, implied sexual abuse, and themes revolving around emotional pain.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
