Our Main Character

Morgan Constantina is an inspiration. She's a young woman with a barely-over-minimum-wage job and a bully for a boss. She loves art history, the Seattle Mariners, and reading fantasy novels. She has a hidden psychic talent that we will learn about soon enough, but isn't exactly the most observant person in the world. She is basically a strong spirit that has been encased in a too-trusting body.

Morgan has the potential to be happy, strong, carefree, and wise.

She has a few obstacles to overcome, but they are so personal and overwhelming, she's scared and isn’t sure she can come out ahead.

She has an abusive boyfriend who also uses emotional blackmail to keep her with him.

She has a judgmental mother who has always been indifferent to her and constantly lets her know exactly how much of a disappointment Morgan is to her.

Most importantly, she has very little confidence, self-worth, or motivation to change her dangerous lifestyle.


I stared intently at the sleek knife I pulled out and slowly kissed the side of the blade. Freedom from pain is coming, I thought. The only way out.

I had no thoughts as I passed out from blood loss. My brain was a blank slate, as empty as my heart.


That is, until she gets to know Dess a little bit better, and the two become fast friends, Dess enlightening her with some IDGAF words of wisdom.

After that, Morgan finds her own strength, making a life-changing decision.


If he did approach me and continued to be his nasty self, I would deal with it. I am not going to keep looking over my shoulder or stop living my life. I’m going to deflect these boulders that people keep throwing at me. If it results in certain people not talking to me anymore, fine. The trick is to develop thick skin and stop letting them get to me.

Well, once again, it appeared that I was to be alone.

And for the first time in my life, that sounded okay to me.
