Fated

Only twenty-two and with all of the world still ahead, Kurt faces a past moving quickly over him like an incoming storm. A mother whose years of alcoholism that has left him weathered and torn. A father's death that has haunted him from age nine. A girlfriend who can no longer handle his pain. With life offering little shelter, he seeks a sanctuary left to only those who see no escape.

Granted a reprieve by a new love a soul in kind, he begins again. Though, as he has always known, what can seem like it will last forever can just as fast fade to ephemerality.

Heaven is in your own mind, whatever that may be.
