All Things Bright

Welcome to America! The land of the free, where dreams come true. Literally... When you say that all the magic happens in your bedroom, you're usually talking about one thing. But not if you're Cameron. While everyone else is vast asleep and dreaming, his mind travels through time, and he has no control over it whatsoever. That might be neat when you just want to mess around and have some fun. But not when you keep getting thrown into situations where you constantly have to face the person who broke your heart. Especially not when their life is slowly deteriorating right in front of your eyes. Drugs. Guns. Suicide. And there is nothing Cameron can do to save him. Lost in time and deprived of sleep, Cameron gets closer to an old friend again - depression. And suddenly his crush isn't the only one whose life is in danger. An LGBT Coming-of-Age story about true love and mental health.

Everything inside my head,

all the colors in my bed.

Pink and yellow, navy blue.

Happy days, long overdue.

I can't leave, I'm lying here.

I don't sleep, I'm masking fear.

The tulip grows, its petals white,

while I'm seeking all things bright.

Hours passed but Cameron wasn't able to get out of bed. His body was weak, his legs paralyzed and his mind was in a state of shock.

It took him all his strength to tell Sonny what had happened. Luckily, when his friend checked his knee, it was fine, no sign of a bullet wound.

But his brain wasn't able to realize that. It was almost in a sort of comatic state.

Around lunchtime he was slowly able to get up again and use the toilet, his legs heavy, his steps slow. He forced down a cold buttered toast that Sonny had brought up to their room after breakfast and that had been sitting there next to Cameron's bed, staring at him for hours.
