Ave: An Angel on Fire

I think I'm going to go ahead with the Ave short story. The entire story's title is Ave: An Angel on Fire. It's loosely based on my accounts of college life. The beginning of the story starts in freshman year in religion class. She is recluse in the beginning but starts to come out as the story and the years progress. The second part of the story is headed "The Intern" and it's a little self-explanatory in that it follows her/me through an internship.

The names associated with the actual accounts have been changed but bear some resemblance to the real life persons. Ave is supposed to resemble me. Originally, the name was supposed to Ava (the abbreviation for the band Angels and Airwaves - who I was listening to constantly. I had just gotten their first CD), but I changed it to Ave, which is more commonly found used in combination with the Catholic religious prayer Ave Maria or Hail Mary. My name is a variant of Mary, which means "blessed", although, my variant means "bitter".

The part I'm writing now has to do with Pomegranate's car accident. I've titled it "The Final Year and Almost Broken" but I might change it and clump it with the following heading "Lifeline". It wasn't going to be a part of the story, but in an attempt to deal with what was happening I wrote it down, what I was feeling and what was going on around me. Not only did I write it under this story heading but I found myself incorporating it into another car story I had. Only difference was, I had written a major car accident into a story the day or two before his actual accident had happened. The Ave version came afterwards and more recently.

I'm writing it now and it's coming more naturally to write. It's been a little difficult since I'm so close to the story behind it. I know the first thing I want to do when I get up to St. Augustine is give him a huge hug. I really don't like not hearing from him for extended periods of time. It gets my levels of worry too elevated.

He's my loser best friend and I love him, and I hope he realizes that.
