When people think of Saylor Adams,

They think of the boy whose life she ruined

The football superstar whose future was forever altered by a secret

A secret that followed him to his grave.

Dubbed a bad seed and a liar,

Saylor was the girl we warned our sons about

Back before she ran away amid a storm of rumors and accusations.

But when the girl who cried wolf returns, everything we thought we knew is shattered.

Shocking us with the knowledge that we turned a monster into a god

And made a villain out of his victim.

While some of us will search for redemption, others will seek revenge,

Unravelingthe lies that tore a family apart, revealing truths that could destroy us all

And falling in love?

Well, that might just be the biggest lie of all.

The Throne of Lies

Genesis (@whisperingchapters)

“No. I told my truth, screamed it until I was blue in the face, but nobody listened. And now, just because you’re ready to hear me, I’m supposed to cut open the scars that have barely scabbed over, just to appease you? Not only no, but fuck no.”

“In this day and age, it’s safer to assume most women you encounter will have experienced some kind of sexual abuse. Whether it be something as simple as catcalling or full-blown rape remains to be seen, but it’s something we deal with daily.”

“I am not the easy target this godforsaken town thinks I am. I refuse to bow down like the cowards you are, hiding behind your bullshit excuses. It’s enough. It’s fucking enough,”

I love Presley’s and Saylor’s friendship

“We should find you a man with a tiny dick. That way, you’d be an expert at finding tiny targets.”

“I’m gonna shoot you in your tiny titties if you don’t shut up and let me concentrate.”

“Look, Saylor, it’s none of my business, so I’m not going to stand here and say shit to you other than they are good guys, but they still have huge penises. And everyone knows a huge penis is a tripping hazard. That means each of them has likely sustained a blow to the head a time or two, so sometimes they can basically act like idiots.”

What happened to me might have shaped me. It might have taken the smooth edges of adolescence and ripped them ragged, but a single chapter does not define my story. What shaped my history doesn’t control my future unless I give my demons the power to do so. I’m done living half a life and worrying about what-ifs.
