Typically I find myself relating to at least one character in each tale‚ sometimes numerous characters.

Having clear-cut goals in life is the first step to success‚ because “Where there is a will‚ there is a way”. I have always been very passionate about flying air- crafts. As far as I can remember.

My Nine Lives. Over the course of my long life (or lives depending on how you look at it) I have been known by many names. And not all of them translate exactly. My latest and last one is Gracen. I do not know how old I am‚ nor do I really care. All that matters is that I get two square meals a day and a warm bed at night. An occasional pet behind the ears is nice too. It’s times like this‚ late at night in my bed‚ when I reminisce back to where it all began. It began 17 years ago‚ on a crisp fall
