Hidden Adversary
Hey Readers! So… this was the first story I ever wrote as a kid.
I posted it back in 2018 but i felt like bringing it back with some cleanup here and there. Grammar’s better now (a bit i guess?), but I didn’t touch the core. Figured I’d let the heart of it stay the same. Nostalgia, maybe. Or just respect for where I started.
You’ll probably notice how rough it is. I did too. Cringed a little, not gonna lie. But it’s part of the journey. I’ve come a bit of a long way since then, learned more about story flow, structure, all that. Still learning, honestly. Always will be, knowledge and experience are limitless... there's no end
Just think of this version like it’s from an alternate universe. Same characters, different path. I’m working on the new one now, so if you’re curious, keep a lookout.
Anyway, thanks for coming and reading it, especially if you stick through the mess my younger self made. Hope it doesn’t burn your eyes too badly.
