The test said Eli was suffering from moderate depression. “Oh, great,” he thought. “I can’t even be outstanding at That!”

Eli realized that some moment in his life would be his last moment of optimism. He worried he’d wasted it on the Arrested Development movie.
His heart popped
She was drinking an orange soda, the woman of Eli’s dreams. It was the kind of Crush that hurt. Eli tried to stop her, but woke up instead.

Eli wrote stories nobody read. Stories with no wizards or warriors. Instead they had boys & girls like him who were loved. Eli wrote fiction
Ironically, he didn't see it coming.
