I am 17 years of age and Lindsay is 16. We both enjoy writing for our own pleasure and have been doing so since before high school. She as well as I have not let many people read our works over these years and this will be the first time either of us has allowed our writings to be made public. I am due to leave high school after the close of this year and Lindsay is due to leave the close of next year. The book that follows was a senior project when first thought of, but after completion I see it more as a reflection of myself. I brought Lindsay’s work together with mine because I felt that her writings could only improve the quality of the book.
