The mind remains the strongest prison of the soul - even the heart can bear witness to that. It is potent enough to hold one's entire being captive in its merciless grasp. In our case, it holds precisely 6,754 people captive. The Elsadene Forest Mental Hospital, that is. In this place, it is indeed the 'survival of the fittest'. The strongest thinker always prevails , and thankfully, Rani Patel has taken quite the liking towards the notion of having control over her own mind - much to the dislike of The Founder. And the last thing you would want to do is make The Founder angry ; wake the ruthless beast that has so far been tame. After all, it only takes one tiny spark to cause everything to burn in flames.

Wren Martin is socially awkward. She blocks off herself to the world, hiding behind her favorite hoodie.

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

**shortlisted for Wattys2017** Technically speaking, I died when I was seventeen. What should have been just another typical day out on the water with my friends, turned ugly fast when a freak storm came out of nowhere and I was thrown overboard. Had it not been for my damned dress, I could have swam to safety, but no, every day had to be a fashion show, and my dress got caught on rocks, holding me down until I drowned. I thought right before I died I would at least get to see a montage of my fabulous life, all the parties and romantic dates with my perfect boyfriend, Asher, but nope again. Instead, all I saw was a hideous sea monster smiling to me as my lungs filled with water. When I woke up in a cave in the middle of the ocean, that sea witch made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I could go back to my perfect life, and my adorable boyfriend, all I had to do was give the sea witch two years of my service, and then she'd free me from my fate. It seemed easy enough at the time, but can the price to live actually come at too high of a cost? Highest rank #5 in paranormal
