BOOK 1 // Human Error (COMPLETE) BOOK 2 // Human Instinct (IN PROGRESS) *NOW OPTIONED FOR A TV SHOW* "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis.

Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

This is a story based on a reality birthed from Dr. Fate's dreams. Within this dreamed cosmos, witness the journeys of a new Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent as they travel paths very different from those you know and have read of time and time again. Witness an all new take on the Earth's finest, as they travel through slightly different paths of life and solidified by those events, take forms that you have never seen them in. This is a tale of stomach turning grit, of unfathomable pain, of a battle between Justice and what prevents it, between bad and the lesser evils... and I hope you'd join me. *** Note: this is a fantastic based on BATMAN, SUPERMAN and other characters owned by DC comics (obviously). YOU CANNOT DROP INTO ANY RANDOM CHAPTER AND EXPECT IT TO MAKE SENSE. Hold on to your butts.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. There are some friends you never forget. It's the summer of 1955. For Ethan Harper, a biracial kid raised mostly by his white father, race has always been a distant conversation. When he's sent to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in small-town Alabama, his blackness is suddenly front and center, and no one is shy about making it known he's not welcome there. Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople aren't-open, kind, and accepting.

As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .

This story is about a boy fighting his demons while trying to find meaning in life in the midst of the battle. Through his journey he comes to learn that the challenges he face are not meant to be escaped but conquered. In his triumph, he becomes something greater than he could ever imagine. I plan on developing this story into a animated series so the dialogue is written like a play. Also in the dialogue there are parts that are bold and parts that aren't. The bold text in the dialogue represent action or feelings while the non-bold text represent the actual words the character is saying. This story is some of the lessons I have learned in my life. It parallels my life in my own mental struggles flirting with suicide, depression and feelings of worthlessness. I hope that this blesses you if you are going through some of the same struggles, so that you can find value in them. Your challenges are happening for you, not to you. Also please leave comments, say what you think. I'd rather you criticize my work so that it can be improved rather than maintaining a fragile ego. Thanks errrbodii. Shout out to da homies Rayven Naveh (https://www.wattpad.com/user/RNJHall) for being a special pen pal, proof reader and friend ;)

UPDATE: 1/14/24 - Per reader request, I will turn this from a short story into a novella. It will be taken down soon and re-published! Despite years passing since Hasan moved his children from Québec to Amman, twenty-four-year-old Yazid still struggles to see passed his father's decision to leave his mother. As the firstborn, he attempts to take on more responsibility for his sisters, but one of them perpetually meets him headstrong. If there are three words Hasan would use to describe his son, they would be reckless, disagreeable, and unpredictable. For this reason, he entrusts his eldest daughter Aseel to care for the family, investing in her more than investing in Yazid. With his mother thousands of miles away, and his father unapproachable, the young man finds solace in injecting himself with needles of "amnesia" as he puts it, unaware that, with every memory he washes away, he grows in sin. On one lonely night, Yazid comes in contact with slithering dancers, swaying from side to side, whispering in his ear that there is only one true way to cleanse himself of his sins. Genre: General Fiction Themes: Suicide, substance abuse, anxiety

"I love it when you beg," laughed Vincent as he dragged Riley to her bedroom. Shoving her into the bedroom he closed the door behind him, turning the lock. "How long do I have?" asked Vincent as he sauntered up to Riley who backed herself against the wall. "Not long, Jason will be back any minute now," lied Riley, her heart beating hard in her chest. Vincent placed his arms on either side of Riley's body, trapping her in while dipping his head to her eye level. "I think my little birdy is lying to me," he smirked. "Now tell me, how long do I have," he asked again, pulling out a knife from his pocket and sliding it up Riley's back underneath her hoodie. He pressed the knife into the flesh of her back and started to press down, cutting slowly into her skin. "Tell me," he repeated. "Thr..ee h..hours," sobbed out Riley. // WARNING: This story contains themes of self harm, rape and violence.
