It’s cold and it’s dark by now. The day has gone so fast, going to all those places, meeting all those people and now I’m here. He’s led me here. It’s time now, after all I’ve done, it’s time to see him. And everything started with a post-it.

"Quiet people have the loudest minds." -Stephen Hawking Rose Gheata is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a hoodie three sizes too big. And she is slowly losing her mind. Her life is rapidly spiraling down the drain. Her parents and twin brother are dead. She'll be moving across an ocean in two weeks time, leaving all her loved ones behind. Those that are still alive, anyway. She gives herself a choice: live in silence, and reside in the hell that is her current state of mind; or die with the family she played a part in killing. So will she bite her tongue? Or take her life? The strength to face death. The cowardice to refuse it. But what happens when she meets someone who teaches her that taking her life is the easy way out? Someone who teaches her that only the strongest can convey emotions without words? That staying strong means facing her fears and actions, instead of running from them? That the quietest people have the loudest minds? (Read Rate Review please)

Donate Body to Science. Check. When seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn checked the box, she never suspected she’d have her life–and her body–stolen from her. She awakens one day in a secret laboratory to discover that her body is now half-robot and is forced to hide her own secret: that she still has human emotions and a human mind. If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was. Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds. *For mature teens due to some sexual content.

Yet another collection of poetry of my experiences as a misunderstood, quite misguided teen. Maybe this time I'll be able to figure myself out, and really write something as captivating as the ideas I think. Regrettably, life is rarely so generous as to succumb to our whims, but here's to hoping!

Settled in the heavens, this tale is of a warm star, personified into a being like a human. Therefore, his tribulation and his consciousness are similar to ours. The only difference is the effect of his feeling upon his environment. When a star dies, it implodes, the external layers of flaming gas explode outwards and the inner layers are compromised. The process goes on for indeterminable amounts of time, spanning centuries sometimes. But this star holds a determination. One that causes him, in his last moments, to spread his essence throughout his galaxy and to shine his light into every corner within his reach. This is a tale of brilliant life and of glorious death. I hope you enjoy and I welcome you to fan, vote and comment.
