When I was five, I met the boy of my dreams. But I didn’t know how powerful dreams were until life ripped them away. “He took my world by storm with four simple words ‘I’m your new neighbor.’ I was only five at the time, but I couldn’t look away from the older boy staring at me through the hole in our back yard fence. In my mind, he was mine from that moment, but I knew that could never happen. When I was fifteen, I learned that things that should never happen can sweep in and rip your entire life to shreds. I lost everything. I lost him….” Six years after tragedy changed Cassie’s life forever, she continues to yearn for that one thing that will make her feel whole-the boy she was taken away from. The boy who had stood by her side and defended her at every turn. The boy whose shoulder she cried on when her parents died, after her sister committed suicide, during her testimony against her brother-in-law. With her past a heavy burden that sits on her chest, threatening to suffocate her every night, she somehow finds the strength to go back and face it. To finally go back and find the man who might make her heart beat again and ease the dead pain she feels inside. But six years can change people, and their relationship can never be the same.
When I was five, I met the boy of my dreams. But I didn’t know how powerful dreams were until I became a teenager and had them all ripped away and replaced with nightmares.
Years later, he proved to me that dreams could overcome anything as long as you were brave enough to face the nightmares head on.

Tatouie: There wasn’t anything I didn’t like except maybe more of a finality to the European Charter that was up to no good. I feel like they wouldn’t have left so quietly. Otherwise loved the story, great rhythm can’t wait to read more books.

Hi Silver Rain,
I recently went through your story "Stricken" and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how visually emotional it would be as a comic.
I loved the moment in the Intro when five-year-old Cassie watches the older boy peek through the fence and says "I’m your new neighbor." It’s innocent, powerful, and haunting. That moment of childhood longing and fate wrapped in a few simple words would make an unforgettable opening in comic form.
I specialize in adapting stories into manga/comics, and I’d love to bring your story to life visually. No pressure, your work would shine in comic panels. If you’re interested in a paid collaboration, I’d love to chat.
