First and foremost, I'd like to thank you in advance for giving "Tough as Nails" a chance. I seriously appreciate the time and effort it takes to start reading a strange new story. I truly hope you enjoy reading this strange story as much as I enjoy writing it. Oh yeah, and it's totally cool of you to vote, share and make as many comments as you want. The more the merrier, but please do not feel obligated one way or the other.

So this story was inspired by the following ONC 2020 contest prompts:

4. When something tragic happens, it's often said we lose a piece of ourselves. How far would you go to find these lost parts of yourself in order to be whole again?

61. After being jilted, you move to the city to hide your embarrassment, lick your wounds, and start afresh.

As usual, I like to give readers a little heads-up of what you getting into before you just jump right into one of my insane stories. So this particularly twisted tale centers around a girl named, Roxanne Rawlings. Who is recovering from a very bad break of her past romance. But as she will soon discover bad breaks are not the worst thing that can happen in high school. And sometimes the best way to get over your own drama, is to help others get even for theirs.  

With that being said there are also some semi-serious emotional issues in this story. Issues like life, death, violence, mental health, therapy, non-traditional family problems, and of course ...the whole bad breakup thing? So while I cannot stress this enough, for those readers who are easily traumatized please proceed with a modicum of caution.

Also please allow me to apologize in advance for any spelling errors, grammatical errors and/or an unintentional incongruities. So please feel free to point any such occurrences out in the comments, messages or smoke signals? I will thank you for your kind assistance in helping me make this a better story. Also, if you are not familiar with my work before now? I feel that I should probably point out ...that I will absolutely invent words from time to time, as I feel the need for them. So if you see a wyrd word or two, please feel free to ask me about their origin stories.

So with all that being said, if you dare to venture past all these dire warnings, I sincerely hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it. I also hope you take something special away from this book. Well, other than a few new curse words and some highly questionable legal ethics? So thank you in advance for taking the time to check out "Tough As Nails".

Stay Cool Mi Loco Amigos,
