Maybe I'm Just Getting Older Or More Introverted, But I Truly Have No Desire To Go Out Of My Way To Make

Maybe I'm just getting older or more introverted, but I truly have no desire to go out of my way to make friends. I either have them, or I don't, and either is fine by me.

If I have to read one more Wordsworth poem, I'm going to set my book ablaze!

As far as what I believe, I like the fact they didn't choose the easy path of making him atheist. Even though I'm not religious, at the end of the day, I don’t think moral Orel is a show about bashing religion but rather the unhealthy dynamics that so offen go unnoticed.

Faith can be a great thing and help people out of dark situations, but on the other hand, it can be the very thing that leads people to them. Being able to separate these negative connotations of his family vs. Christianity as a whole takes a lot. Religion is so intertwined in Orels relationships. In a way, I suppose that keeping his faith would be the harder of the two options. He can't just blame people's bad actions based on their warped reality.

But then again, the probability of this actually happening, I think, is quite low. After everything Orel has been through, we see him grow less and less naive. I'm not going to say it was the sole cause, but just about every character blames their faults on something else as a guise to seem like a better person. The only one I think that truly owns up to it is Danielle, and he's got his own troubles with religion himself.

Orel starts as such a positive happy go lucky kid, but with the harshness of reality, he's not the same by the end. I don't see how he could get to such a state and not at least question himself a bit.

All in all, I don't know which I would have preferred, but I just have to be content seeing as the show has long since ended.

Last Chapter

Kids go missing all the time. Some are only gone for minutes, some for hours, some for days. My sister has been gone for 55 years. I know something’s happened to her. The only problem is finding out what.

Pre-canon Coraline story that focuses on Mrs. Lovat and what led to her sister's disappearance. A tale of two girls in separate worlds.

I truly make myself sick. I have one on going sequel, one I just finished but 2 more continuations I need to write, and I've just started a new story in the spur of the moment. Why am I this way?!?!?

I physically feel the joy leave my body after writing a first chapter. Now, all my creative energy has disappeared, but I love a good slow burn. Woe is me!
