Christmas Lights

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Hi, I'm Kai. I know Tapas stories don't have introductory chapters but this story is a tad bit different with it's unique layout so I wanted to give you a introductory chapter to give a gist. I'll keep this short. 

Christmas Lights is a Cellphone novel.

The cell phone novel is a remarkably unique new form of writing, fusing serialized online storytelling with simple haiku-like poetic technique and with prose narrative. Each chapter or page is at most 200 words, but usually averaging around 50-100 words, using white space, line breaks, fragments, free flow poetry, deeply personal thoughts, emotions, and onwards. As it is about the literary culture, form and style, there is no restriction of genres or content.

(extract from the website/blog created by @Takatsu who brought CPN to English literature - according to CellPhoneNovel, Wattpad)


Time period:

The story showcases happenings taking place during 2009 and 2017 simultaneously.

For e.g.
Numbers like 1, 2 and 3 stand for present happenings (taking place in 2017 because I wrote this story in 2017).

Numbers within brackets like (1), (2) and (3) stand for past happenings (taking place during 2009).

Warning:

The format of CPNs are different. So wattpad sometimes transmits it in a weird fashion in which certain letters are either missing or there are unwanted cuts in the lines. Please ask me if you see it and get confused.

The story starts with a 2017 scene and from there, it goes back and forth between 2009 and 2017. I think I cleared it well. If you're still confused, comment at the respective chapter.


Other:

Don't feel shy about spamming me with comments or votes lol ;) And do shoot me with constructive criticism :)

"They serve the best milkshakes ever!"

You sounded so much like a kid.

"My favourite is Butterscotch. What's yours? Wait, let me guess it. Chocolate? Oreo? Cookie dough?"

"Butterscotch," my lips blurted out.

And with the way your eyes lighted up, I decided to let sixteen years of my hate for milkshakes go.

. . .

Christmas.

Everyone remembers it as a day of festivity, joy and gingerbread.

Artis Hart remembers it as the day she lost faith in love.

In 2009, Artis Hart and Ethan Brewer parted ways during Christmas Eve, both not knowing what went wrong.

Now eight years later, Artis sets out to find Ethan and demand what actually went wrong during Christmas Eve all those years back.

Tangled in between broken memories, new changes, unspoken words and two different time periods, will a simple curiosity turn out to be a second chance?

Or remain just a beautiful disaster?
