The Young Lightning Rehabilitation takes the most problem of youths and turns them into good citizens. It makes the most troubled of rebels into compliant and obedient pieces of society. It restructures the most stubborn of minds into docile and contented brains. No-one gets dragged into the centre and comes out unchanged. Everyone who enters its walls comes out broken down, destructured, destroyed, and rebuilt anew.

Simran is a young girl who chooses not to fit in. She doesn't know what she wants, but she knows she wants something. And she knows she'll find that something no matter the cost.

The city is filled with everything anyone could ever ask for. With entertainment and fun and beauty and intrigue. So why do I feel so dissatisfied? So why do I feel so empty?

The Wall around the city is high. It’s thick. No-one has ever seen over it. Everyone fears it.

But when I’m kissing Marcus and Elliot on the hard concrete of the school roof, I can’t help but wonder.

What else is there, that the city makes sure to keep us away from?

We are children and teenagers who have no one. Who have no shelter. Nothing but the streets and the fear and the apathy of the well-fed and sheltered. Nothing but hunger and poverty and pasts we would rather forget.

But despite all that we have each other. We always make sure to have each other. Because in this world full of apathy and hate, kindness grows only when you plant it.

And I will do anything to protect my family. Anything.

As a lone brother and sister pair, Tyler and his younger sister Megan are forced to survive. The hardships of the "grown-up" world, the dark reality of drugs and alcohol, the loneliness and cruelty of teenage social problems hits them with its full force. The world isn't kind to strangers.This is a story written a little differently. It's a story of a brother and sister and the hardships they face. The dynamics of their relationships with each other and the people around them. The whole story is written in the form of notes and diary entries. I wrote it to tackle issues that I see every day. Things I've encountered with my friends, and things I see in the lives of strangers. The world is harsh and cruel, and in our conditioned reality where we only see what we want, we can end up being cruel towards someone who's pain we don't understand.

Sometimes people just want someone to understand. That's all. But it is so difficult to get person to fully understand anything if they haven't experienced what you have.
