After the Rain Stacey Johnston

When a child is born they're a blank canvas. A canvas that is later molded by the influences of the world around them. Those influences determine that child's future, but they are not always kind. Some of those children will enter adulthood easily, unscathed by the harshness of life, but for others, that journey is not an easy path to follow. And then there are those, whose journeys are cut short. He only ever wanted ..... to fit in. He only ever wanted ..... to be included. He only ever wanted ..... to have friends. Alec never wanted for anything. His parents made sure of that. But, what Alec desperately wanted, they couldn't buy. He just wanted to be normal........ He could never see what the rest of us could. Smart. Funny. Goodlooking. Sensitive. Alec only saw what his mind wanted him to see. And believed the false truths it told him. BUT, I won't allow him to become one of the lost, and when the clouds clear after the rain, I WILL make him see that he is everything WE believe him to be, and so much more........
