1. We Shoulda Known

I've been weird since birth...well actually I tried my best not to be born at all. I almost killed my mother and myself during birth. Mom should have known then that sometimes you don't always get what you wish for, or rather you do, but it's not always what you envisioned.

Mom read the entire time she was laying up in the hospital. Science fiction mostly, I was actually named after an alien in a Star Trek novel if you can believe it. My name is Shallon, I am the Pheonix, and this is a somewhat exaggerated narration of my life.
