Blurb Everyone knows me as Kim, it's just that everyone has a different perception of who Kim is... Kim is working towards her master in microbiology. She is intelligent, attractive and looks forward to her very prospective future. But then someone walks back into her life, just as she is getting over her tortured high school past. She dreamt of seeking revenge but she soon comes to realise that this girl - the girl who made her teenage years a living hell - has, perhaps, already paid the price...

1. Who Am I?

 

 Everyone knows me as Kim, it's just that everyone has a different perception of who Kim is. Some people think that Kim is cold and reserved, whilst my closest friends know and love the talkative and outgoing Kim. My mother and father, once upon a time, loved the giggly, bottle throwing Kim, until my father was gunned down during his tour of Iraq and my mother went crazy.

You may find me strange but I look upon my past selves as separate beings, as if I am watching a film in my mind. I distance myself from my past – I want to focus on the present Kim. The Kim right at this moment. She is far more important than the Kims in the past. If I had to come up with an analogy, then I would say that my past selves are like shoes: I've outgrown them so I can never go back, although I will always have the scars – memories of breaking them in.

I'm a snake and I've shed my skin. It's time to move on. But just as I'm moving on and enjoying life as the new Kim, something from my past comes barging into my life and BAM! - the memories are hurled back at me and I'm forced to suffer as one of my past selves again. I'm on a quest to find Kim, the real Kim.

If she's even out there.

  • Kieva RisingYou had me at the blurb, I love it :)
  • bookoholicThis is really good are you going to write more hope so!!! :-D
    Y. Nirvana Thanks and no, I've moved onto other stuff like 'Oraca' if you want to check it out :)
  • ChetnaWow SOO good, it definitely is a strong entry! I love it, you have loads of talent obviously and just WOW! I'm amazed. Liked, faved, fanned... even before reading the entire thing because it was so apparent that it was a masterpiece. You've written it brilliantly, the switching-between-time-frames thing in the first few chapters was a great idea..
    Only thing I have a doubt about - you never really said what happened to her boyfriend, did you? He just looked like a come-and-go character, not quite important... I didn't get his role in this whole story. Kim could have gotten her conscience or just her mind to tell her that she needs to talk to Ally, right? Why get Joe into it, and if you want to, why not include him somewhere in her happy future? Just a suggestion, I like this a lot, honestly! One of the best I have read on this website :D
    Y. Nirvana Thank you, I'm glad that you like it! About Joe - he sort of just... appeared. He was really hot in my mind so I thought that I would let him come strolling into the story... Hmm I think that Kim is independent enough to figure out things on her own. Thanks for pointing this out :)
    ChetnaNo problem, yeah I love the idea of a strong, supportive boyfriend as well... maybe you could give him a bit more importance instead of editing him out? :-)
    bookoholicOMG love your picture of a red panda!!!:-D
    Y. Nirvana Haha I'm obsessed with them :')
  • Child of the JagoI really like this so far; great start! I love the idea of different perceptions. People do that with me sometimes, too, so I can relate.

    PS
    I must sound awful, but would you please give my new story a read? It's called Serpe Baixo Flor (weird name, I know).
    Y. Nirvana Thank you! The story is loosly based around things that I've personally experienced. Yes, I will check out your movella once I've finished editing mine :)
