"I had always called her my best friend but I guess even best friends keep things from one another. I just hope that after tonight, we can both survive." Follow Daniel as he learns more than about Annabelle, the one person he thought he knew best and uncover the secrets that lie behind her beautiful face.

[2013 Watty Finalist] Thea Gibson lives a normal life. She waitresses at her local bar, pays her bills on time, has a secret crush on Detective Josh Cooper and let's her friend Shae drag her to parties when she'd rather be curled up at home buried in the latest paranormal fantasy. In one night though, her life becomes a paranormal fantasy when she is attacked by Titans and saved by a man claiming to be Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. Hermes tells her she is a reincarnated deity, with latent powers she must remember so she can return the recently escaped Cronos back to Tartarus. Thea refuses to believe such nonsense but with the strange things happening around her, Thea begins to discover that fantasy is more closer to reality than she once thought...

May not be much to anybody unknown, but trust me, this is a world of my own. A meagre being mindlessly wandering the dark recesses of her existence, aimlessly inhaling and exhaling, until she found something beautiful while masquerading in the eye of a hurricane. Sometimes, what's so torn up and crushing the life out of you, accidentally pushes you into the other side of the curtain behind the waterfall. And you are finally, blissfully, uncharacteristically, mindlessly elated beyond any measure that could have bound you to this mundane world we call our earth. And I, I've found mine. Feel free to comment, vote and well.. yeah. May contain some mature themes as it goes along. Enjoy! All rights reserved.

Two vanished. One came back.

A gorgeous apartment: two bedrooms, shared bathroom, kitchen and living room. Situated only a few minutes away from the train/coach station, the city center and the city's best university. And only for half the price of a standard studio apartment. . . What could possibly be wrong?
