I can't believe I am participating in ONC 2024! I'm very excited and anxious at the same time. I hope that even if I couldn't win, my book could be enjoyable enough for the judges. I have put a lot of my love, time and heart into this so I hope my readers could live the story!

"The day will come when I finally muster the courage to leave you. When the hurt had festered long enough that I can no longer bear it. When time has passed, and clarity returns to show me that we were doomed from the start. For now, my heart still clings to you and only you, though my mind knows better. But the hour approaches when resentment will override all else. When sense triumphs over feeling. Then I will walk away, and mourn what could have been, had we only met in another life."
