Summary
In the sprawling tapestry of New York's history, amid the cobblestone streets and smoky factories, a hidden world of hardship and resilience emerges. Set against the gritty backdrop of the 1890s, you're invited to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the Randall's Island House of Refuge. This notorious institution housed the city's most troubled youth. The lives of Jack Kelly and a handful of unlikely friends intertwine within the confines of the refuge. Each inmate carries a unique burden, a story of survival, aspiration, and redemption that resonates against the tumultuous backdrop of a rapidly changing city. As tensions escalate within the refuge, a series of events are set in motion that threatens to shatter their fragile unity. Unstable alliances form, and the boys find themselves at the precipice of a dangerous revelation that could expose truths deep within the institution's walls. Through heartache and triumph, unity and discord, we explore the shadows of the past, illuminating the enduring human spirit that seeks redemption even in the darkest corners of history.

Summary
Ray pushes open the door, going in first, and sinks to his knees in the middle of the motel room, setting down the carbine and shedding his backpack. Pete is close behind, following suit as soon as he breaches the entrance and lets the door shut behind him.
“Fuck. I don’t think I could get back up if I wanted to,” Ray says.
“Same here,” Pete pants. Now that he is finally immobile does he truly begin to feel the aching in his legs and feet.
“Let’s just—just sit here for awhile.”

10 Inaccurate Conclusions by Nick Carraway by Donteatbatteries

Summary
After breaking up with Jordan, Nick tries to avoid thinking about why... while his neighbor has been growing increasingly strange in their every interaction.
...
This is a reimagining of "5 Times Jay Gatsby Failed to Seduce Nick Carraway" from Nick's pov and then assumes a continuation of the story where they navigate their relationship and both come to plenty of incorrect conclusions about what's being said. They're really bad at communicating.Reading the first story is not NECESSARY to understand this one, but I recommend it, because it makes this one much funnier.
