Let's go back in time and see how Cordelia began...
Every person has emotional wounds, internal scars, and at one time or another, witnessed an event they wished they'd never saw.
These things change us irrevocably.
For Cordelia Kelly, growing up at the mercy of her Dark Empathic father caused her to tear in two when she was sixteen. As she tried to save her mother from his brutal attacks, she unknowingly unleashed her inner duality and now struggles under the weight of who she truly is, and what she's capable of.
This is the beginning.
Torn in Two is a 24 page short story delving into the teenage mind of Cordelia Kelly. The story can stand alone, but is better read after Duality.
