If an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, does a life for a life make the whole world dead? Enter a small chain of islands located in the Caribbean in the not-so-far future that is controlled by a corrupt government: where the rich live extravagantly and the poor can barely afford to feed themselves as the powerful force heading the archipelago drives them to work like animals. Where only the strong dare to rise up and challenge the president and his system. But a spark is catching. The fire is spreading. Rebellion could very well become a possibility. People are angry and fed up with the government. Change is coming, and no one can hide from it; not even the most powerful person on the islands, President Kale Ross himself. And the rebels-or 'pirates'- are about to make him pay for what he's done. An oppressed population, a group of ragtag pirates, and a hell of a lot to plunder. Welcome...to Cyberlink Cove. *Note: Plot is based off an RP my friend made on a game, though the storyline is original.

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.
