Have you ever thought how fickle life is? One moment you have it all; a special family, good friends, the feeling of security, and to know that you are loved by all. Having the perfect life where every day is exciting, and you revel in life’s mysteries and what they have to offer. Never phased by any impediments because you know, whatever happens, there will be people around you who will pick you up and protect you.Or how would it be if you woke up wishing you were dead? Life was so laborious and overwhelming that you could only hope for salvation from death. Every waking moment the only emotion you feel is fear. Your nearest and dearest has shown you nothing but loathing and disgust, but life will not let you leave; it has shackled you to them. Or maybe your life is not in your own hands and will never be. Your entire life will be dictated by other people. All decisions will be made for you whether you like them or not. Your opinions will be someone else’s, and you will be told what to think. Accepting your fate that any dreams you have will remain dreams and never will they come to fruition. Feeling suffocated with the futility and screaming so loudly, but no one can hear you.Then destiny changes it all. Something happens that you have no control over and changes things around forever, good or bad.Amy, Selma, and Charlie come from different backgrounds.
