Gather Time Stretching Out Towards Forever Drafted By Catherine Holloway Readable In Version

yet my review may contain an endless amount of words, Let me preface this review by saying that I've read at least a sample of each and every Vampire Diaries story published on Kindle Worlds.
There have been some gems, which I've purchased so I can reread to my hearts content, Most have been complete rubbish which have made me want to bang my head against the wall, because, seriously who allowed these stories to be published under anything resembling The Vampire Diaries

Then we have Time Stretching Out Towards Forever by Catherine Holloway.
As I read this, I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, shake the characters until they did what I wanted them to do or if I should just revel in the sea of words that Holloway had put together to tell the bravest Vampire Diaries story I've ever read.


It's a tough sell on any given day to propose that Elena live out not only a human life, but one with Stefan rather than Damon.
But, damn if Holloway doesn't just get it, get that what lies at the core of The Vampire Diaries is a story of two brothers who, at the end of the day, love each other with every bit of who they are.
And if that wasn't enough, she completely captures the voices of these characters as if they'd been hers long before anyone else's,

I'll end this with a dare, I dare anyone reading this review to read this story, It's not all puppies and unicorns, but it's real and true and the best

story you'll read on Kindle Worlds, I think the only explanation for Holloway's nearsupernatural ability to affect my emotions is that her words are imbued with visuallyabsorbed moodaltering medications, Likely illegal ones.

Of course, if the explanation is not drugrelated, it might just be that Holloway really gets it, That the single most important responsibility of an author is not to merely entertain but to find and explicate connections between people and events and themes and symbols.
To give us all a tiny peek at the hidden web of meaning between moments,

This story is very complex for its length, because it manages to encapsulate the joys and sorrows, regrets and triumphs of three lives and a whole host of beginnings and endings.
I admit that at first, I wasn't particularly interested in the setup described by the description, but once I read it I couldn't imagine having ever passed it over.
The author's grasp of the every hidden moment, emotion, and selfdeception of the characters is stunning, and nearsupernatural in scope,

This is a story whose words will echo in your mind long after you've forgotten there was ever a show about goodlooking vampire boys.
This story picks up at the end of Season Three, but with one major difference: Elena survives the car crash, She flees Mystic Falls with Stefan and chooses to remain human, Damon honors his promise to his brother and allows them to live out her life without him, She and Stefan share long, happy decades together, but there's something she always wanted to say,

Only after she's accumulated a lifetime of wisdom and experience can she summon the courage to explain why she made that choice so many years before.
There are three sides to this story of what a single lifespan means to the people who love each other too much to be selfish.
