Living in a world where the human race is dying off faster than it can reproduce, sixteen year old Maddie Ryan has started her period, an almost guaranteed sign of fertility. Knowing it's only a matter of time before the government finds out and forces her into the life of a Breeder, where her sole purpose will be to help repopulate the earth, she is faced with a harrowing decision. Does she willingly accept her fate or take matters into her own hands and run? Both options will tear her away from the life she has always known and from those she loves most, her parents and her best friend Travis, the boy who owns her heart. For nineteen year old Travis Brennan there are only three people in this world who matter... his mother, his little sister Grace, and his best friend Maddie. Maddie's sudden disappearance not only forces him to confront his feelings for her, but leads to a chain of events that will forever alter the course of their lives. As truths are revealed and lies are uncovered, Travis and Maddie will learn that there is much more at stake than they could have ever imagined.

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.

A story about a girl who sends letters to a neighbor.

Las palabras comenzaron a acumularse en mi garganta, impidiéndome respirar. Fue entonces cuando decidí escupir este par de versos torcidos.

"Te escribí una historia, pero tengo miedo de cómo puede acabar". Se acabó. Pero eso es lo de menos. Todo lo que ocurrió. Eso es lo importante. Entre aquellos dos paréntesis donde existíamos, existimos. Estos son retazos de aquellos paréntesis. Esto es para ti. Sabes quién eres.

A/N: This is an unedited, significantly different version of the soon to be published novel by losangelesque aka L. Akhter. This draft was written when I was 15-18 years old and I highly encourage new readers to read the published version instead. Former high school football star Frank Novak meets profound and depressed loner Lolita Abri - and falls headfirst into love. Throughout the course of one school year, they unravel each other and their sadness, setting apart their differences and realizing that sometimes love isn't enough - and sometimes it just might be.

Me llamo Dery y tengo una teoría: pienso que las personas nacemos con alas. Es algo difícil de explicar, créeme.

Irgan había mantenido conversaciones con gente de diversos países formados por agua, fuego, viento y tierra. Había visto cuerpos devorados por plagas y plagas devoradas por un mal mayor, y por tal causa creía haber visto a la mayor de las plagas, junto a las muertes más deshonrosas. Creía haber pensado más allá de lo que cualquier otro hombre joven hubiera conquistado en su mente, y creía ser distinto, de mayores dotes, incluso entre quienes habían sido bendecidos con la belleza y el ingenio. Pero lo que Irgan no había considerado, lo que debía concebir y lo que realmente cambiaría su destino, era que se encontraría de frente con el mismísimo infierno.
