And now I know why I always wake up sore and reeking of bleach. ⥀ Humans have always strived for equality, for everyone to be treated equal. We finally reached the point of this harmony, this level of sameness--and everyone is happy. Many, many generations later.

What if they're destined to be unique in a world of strict equality? ⥀ #10 in Scifi on 7/21/17 MADE IT TO ROUND 3 IN THE WRITERS OLYMPICS Now available as a paperback and ebook.

Every year on their birthday, the people of Seabrook wake up with a new ring around their arm with a number running along it, showing their new age. It doesn't affect life much, it's just there like the tides or the sunrise. Just weeks after Willa's fifteenth birthday, she starts getting new rings, even though she hasn't aged. At first she ignores them, but then she starts to get dreams along with the new rings. These dreams seem like memories, but the events in them haven't yet come to pass. It seems that Willa is having dreams of the future. And the dreams don't just involve her. They also include her best friend. Feelings develop, tension rises, and relationships are tested as Willa struggles to understand what is causing these strange new events. *Mild swearing, and some words censored* *All characters and settings are my own*
