Errant — Suz Korb

Coming of age stories by author Suz Korb. JUDE: The year was 1990 and Jude wanted to become a real man by cutting off his long hair. That's not the true way he's going to become a man. His girlfriend might have to help him see that. Somehow, they would realise how things that go wrong can shape who we are. Things can go right, if only they think on it. Feel what's happened. Give in to the love. LAMENT NO PAIN: Maia tells Liam the story of her accident. He tells it back to her in a dream. He wants her to know how much he cares, and that her bravery instils hope within him. WALLS: A brick wall is a physical barrier. No matter how hard you hit it, you can’t tear it down with your bare fists. Mental walls are barriers too, and sometimes a little help is needed from others to tear them down. THAT NIGHT: Based on a true story... The year was 1991 and it was Angela's sweet sixteenth. Not very sweet exactly though, considering the fact that she wasn't getting any presents, or a party. Angela was determined to make a birthday party for herself! And she was convinced alcohol was the best way to do that. So she sought out an older friend who was over the age of twenty-one. WAY over aged. The woman was in her thirties and she was a sad sack. As lame as they come, Mary was. But if Angela could get her to buy some vodka, then she didn't care about being in Mary's presence for just a little while, that night. Until it started turning into the worst night of her life... EVER!
