"We humans are the most despicable creatures on God's green Earth. We simply ruin everything we touch."

•S y n o p s i s •

We are all born sinners
With blood we have yet to spill
We wash our hands in the purest of holy waters

But the blood shall stain us all forever

We are sinners.
We are humans.

We hide our temptations
Masking our true selves
Never showing our truths
Yet we weep for the satisfaction

We are sinners.
We are humans.

We all have sinned
Involuntarily or not

From the pettiest of acts
To the deadliest of deeds

We are sinners.

We are humans.

This is fictional work has been festering in my mind since the beginning of 2017. I have rewritten (and will continue to rewrite) this story until I am satisfied with it.

To the extraordinary individual who attends my school, thank you so much for your support and love. For the past three years, you have been hounding me to continue. Your patience and persistence are certainly a major factor as to why I'm continuing this. I love you, my darling.

There are many remarkable folks I'd love to thank for the graphics and support for this literature work. I am a person who sadly is easily discouraged and procrastinates. I am striving to change my ways though.

As I said in the latter section of my author's note, there is a person in my real life who has been supportive of my writing even though we had only just started being friends then. You and I have grown distant but when we do meet up, we have a good time. I hope one day that my children will have a friend like you.

You are my guardian angel. I express undying gratitude to you for giving me the I'm-disappointed-in-you face each time you see me. You hold me accountable for all of my actions and I never want to disappoint you.

 I don't know how or why but you noticed my hyper ass-kissing comments plus my obsessive and compulsive voting on your works. Hell, I even joined Amino for you. The talent you showcase in your graphics have also continued to motivate me.

I can't exclaim how aesthetically pleasing your graphics and novels are. The historical and elegant nature in your style of writing are something to be proud of. You are a talented storyteller and I hope you gain the recognition you deserve. I hope to work with you even more in the future. I absolutely love the banners you've made for me (they aren't displayed in this chapter).

You and I are share personal and geographical similarities. Because of these similarities we have been able to acknowledge and recognize each other on this big orange platform. I love the mood boards you've done for me and I'll definitely be coming back to you.

The growth and quality of you and your entire brand is an impressive thing to witness. The cover and banners you've made for me are exactly on point with the story (banners displayed in this chapter have been done by MIRACULOUSNESS )
