Highest Ranking: #9 in Mystery/Thriller Psychosis: a condition that disrupts a person's thoughts and perceptions that make it difficult to recognize what is real and what isn't. Psychopathy: a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy and or poor behavioural controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behaviour. A year ago, Ariel Campbell was a simple girl until she met a not so simple boy. When Tobias Aspen is arrested on suspicion of double homicide, Ariel must grapple with the fact that her life as she knew it would forever change in a whirlpool of gruesome murders, blackmail, betrayal and lost trust. She ventures on a quest to find out who framed him and prove that the only guy she loved wasn't the bloody murderer everyone thought him to be whilst also piecing unmatched puzzles together as she tries to unravel the mystery behind who Tobias Aspen truly is. "Seventeen year old Tobias Aspen was arrested a week after the remains of fifteen year old Kayla Mammoliti and Seventeen year old Maria Jensen of Manchester Central High School were discovered in a ditch-" She watched silently as his image flickered across the television. The dim lights flashed across her face in a mirage of colors, brightening the dark room with a soft glow. Ariel Campbell sat frozen in her spot, unable to comprehend the reality of her life now. She sunk her nails into her skin as his mugshot flickered across her dark dilated irises. Blood began to pool beneath her sharp fingernails but she hadn't reacted to the pain seizing her arm. She was over having Tobias labeled as the monster when the real monsters slept beside them at night. Ariel Campbell had one goal in mind: She was going to prove that the psycho was innocent. No matter what it took. No matter who she hurt.

As a highly trained member of the American military, Cade Aloysius Calvert was supposed to die in a blaze of glory. Instead, he died choking on a hot dog. Immediately after dying, Cade resigned himself to the fact that he'd be stuck in a bland afterlife that looked more like a waiting room at an automotive repair shop than a fluffy paradise full of clouds and winged dudes wearing dresses and playing harps. So, when God and Joan of Arc offer him a position on an elite team that tracks down people who have literally fought off the grim reaper, Cade readily agrees and joins a cast of characters including Attila the Hun and Hitler's dentist. Things go great until Cade gets an assignment that he just can't handle: an unassuming waitress named Addison Brown. Will he reap her soul, or will Cade cave? Who knows? All I know is be careful when you eat hot dogs... *A/N: Hey, yo! FYI, this story was born from a writing prompt over on the @CircleofJerks profile. You can find the original first chapter over there in our Jerk Prompts book (It's prompt #5). Also, special thanks to my Wattpad BFF @Bksbybkr who gave me the confidence to branch out into humor. You're the bestest, BBs!
