***HOLLOW HILLS PRESENTS: STILL STANDING***
Bullying comes in many forms. It could be an immature
insult. It could be a punch to the face. It could be a lifetime of negative
messages. It could be an all-out sexual assault. The pain a victim feels from
bullying has lasting psychological repercussions and in many cases has led to
suicide. I know this because I too was bullied once upon a time. In other
words, you’re not alone. In fact, nobody should have to face this horrible
social crisis alone. And thus, we have the anthology known as Still Standing.
Four short stories and one poem where the victims become the conquerors. They
will go through pain, torture, and torment, but will always come out the other
end empowered and emboldened. If you want to read about relatable characters
who will always be there for you, grab a copy of this book when it’s released
to the public on December 14th, 2018. All profits from the
anthology’s sales will be donated to the Crisis Text Line.

***LYRICS OF THE DAY***
“My friends are so depressed. I feel the question of your
loneliness. Confide, ‘cause I’ll be on your side. You know I will.
Ex-girlfriend called me up, alone and desperate on the prison phone. They want
to give her seven years for being sad. My friends are so distressed and
standing on the brink of emptiness. No words I know of to express this
emptiness. Imagine me taught by tragedy. Release is peace. I heard a little
girl and what she said was something beautiful. To give your love no matter
what is what she said. I love all of you. Hurt by the cold. So hard and lonely
too when you don’t know yourself.”
