Story: WISHFUL THINKING [Summary + Chapter List]

SUMMARY:

Jess Mago is living the sweet life. He is studying in one of the country’s most prestigious university, friends with two of the best persons he’d ever met and had almost everything he could ever wish for at the moment. Contented.

But within him lies a cloak-and-dagger sugar ache that he is unaware of. A devastating decay waiting for the right moment to make its presence known. What happens if that ache becomes unbearable? Inevitable.

Jess will realize that there is more to life than what it seems and that which appears to be is really not.

This is a story about how relationships and maturity marred with the struggles of everyday life and fate’s ever twisted mind can affect the seemingly pacific life of a boy on the brink of being a man. This is a story about the pleasures of unbridled desires and the pains of wanting something so close yet impossible to achieve. This is the story of how a single idea can affect multitudes of circumstances, leaving one person at the center of it all judged and amiss-ed. 

When we want something, we fight for it. Jess have to learn it the hard way. But what happens when wishful thinking seems more inviting than cruel reality?

Author's Note:

This story was something that came out from one of my works in a course I've taken a year ago. It started out as one chapter that I intend to leave just as it is. However, my muse reared its head and pushed me to continue it. The plot is banal and almost overrated and I have yet to pave its direction. Though I do have some plot that are quite interesting and hopefully unexpected. Some aspects I am planning to deal with will be quite deep and strange. I am a fan of cliff-hangers and unconventional writing so bear with me. I am a frustrated writer, somewhere between an amateur and an aspirer. So please if you see any point for improvement and appraisals, I am most grateful if you can share it with me. Thanks and have fun reading!
