Name: Joey
Title of Piece:Survivor
Genre(s):young adult, dark, angst
Rating:r
Summary/Description:Once upon a time there was a boy named Joseph. His life wasn't happy, it was dark, depressing and filled with pain. However, this isn't his story, his is too much to tell, too dark for most. What is written here is the truth, if you choose to see it. If not, see it as a depressing story about child abuse and what it means to be a survivor.

Looking for a Beta Who Can/Will: grammar, spelling, structure, who won't judge and who can be patient with me
Preferred Form of Communication: penana pm or email
Preferred Form of Beta-ing: Google Docs or penana beta system
