|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

"Who's 'Hacker'?" He sounded just as confused as he looked. I just smiles and glance back at paint. "Nobody knows who they are or where they are but they seem to be everywhere.

And whoever they are, they own Summit high." ~ Summit High is being Hacked, Edlyn Grey is a senior at Summit High School, in Miami Florida.

He is dorky and a big goofball but he can be strong and powerful when he needs to be. Especially when it comes to Edlyn. Seth O'Conner is your cliche school popular and bad boy.

He also has an unhealthy obsession with finding the school hacker.
