Ashelin lived a solitary life, content in its simplicity until the day it was taken away from her. Battling with her grief and struggling to find her place in a world that just became much larger, Ash clings to her simple purpose in the changing world, having a hand in forging it whether she knows it or not. A story of healing, of friendship and of facing the odds to make a better world for those to come. **This is a first draft, and some of the earlier chapters are...not all that great. I'm still learning and this story has been quite a journey for my writing skills, but if you can make it through some of the lesser parts, hopefully you'll find the tale I'm trying to tell.**

Wren Martin is socially awkward. She blocks off herself to the world, hiding behind her favorite hoodie. All she wants to do is keep a low profile, and graduate well enough to qualify for a college scholarship. But then a babysitting job leads her to cross paths with Asher Reed, Eastview Highʼs notorious athlete. When a field injury kickstarts his senior year, heʼs turning his free time and attention to Wren. And maybe she might not want to be invisible after all. ***** [Watty's Collector's Edition Winner] [TFA Runaway Prize Winner] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

Scientists worked for years to combine the strands of DNA from animals who were completely incompatible, and for years they failed and failed again. Then they succeeded. They called the things they created Creatures. Soon, however, the government, their main founder was threatening their funding unless they came up with another scientific breakthrough. So they started to try something that most would consider worst than their already hole ridden ethics. They started trying to combine the DNA into already living creatures. Despite the improbability they managed to succeeded, and once the government found out, they made their true reasons for funding known. This is the story of the Experiment, this is the story of the Creatures.
