The Inevitables

by attackonfictions

Krista Lenz was ready for the best summer of her life; but when her mom tells her that she'll have to work at a summer job to pay for her housing costs, that summer dream fades. Things get worse when she hates her co-worker, Ymir. But she learns that maybe they can get along better than she thought.

1. Prologue

I never believed people when they said that life is a miracle. It can be if you look at it at the right angle, but most of the time, it's kind of just there. It's something we experience and live but we never really step back and look at it. The way I see it, life isn't a miracle. You kind of start it out without a say when your parents just go at it. You can be put into the world and taken out just as quickly depending on who your card dealer is.

The greatest way to live is to be your own card dealer. It's like, "Hey, I can give myself all of the aces and all of the Kings and all of the Queens." But we never get to be our own card dealer. All of the card dealers in life are shitty, and they always give us shitty cards. Once in awhile, we'll pull an ace. But then the guy across from you has two aces, and you lose again. So yeah, life's no miracle. At least, it wasn't until I met a real legitimate miracle named Ymir.
