"Prologue"

A Chapter by Lizzy

I was never the center of attention. While my brothers and sisters rose above the crowds, accepting awards and being recognized, I stayed back in the musky, dusty corners of every award room. They were special, everyone said. They had the power to shake the Earth and rattle the heavens with their talent, everyone said. Somehow, I believed them. Supposedly because I had no talent at all, nothing to really look forward to in life. Days seemed to fly past me, between school and at home. But there’s always those moments during dawn and dusk that just whisper at me from afar. It keeps me wondering and waiting, while taunting me at the same time. I WANTED to be recognized. I WANTED people to look up at me, for me to be their inspiration in life. I wanted to find why I was put onto this planet. My name is Amelia Richards, I’m prepared to find it.
