So much for an easy way to go. After thirty nine long years, each squandered day chained inexorably and uneventfully to the next, this is how it ends. How appropriate. Blinking back tears, Joanna shakes out another handful of pills into the palm of her hand... Environmental catastrophe, dismissed by many as myth or propaganda, is now an impending reality. Tides are rising and storms are brewing. Meanwhile, in a small-town suburban home, a small family is fraying at the seams, and on the brink of a collapse of their own. Following the suicide of his wife and imprisoned by grief, Arnold witnesses the inexorable downwards spiral of his neighbourhood on television, from the confines of his living room. Fifty years on, his son Noah is thrust into a dense, compact Britain he hardly recognizes, adrift in a society in the throes of transformation. Years later, the experiment falters and Nature threatens to take over entirely. Noah’s daughter Eve faces unimaginable consequences and her will to survive is tested to its limits... THE FALL OF MAN begins in the Britain of today. Three successive generations struggle to exist in a future rife with change. Their story chronicles a series of cataclysmic, global events, from the perspective of an all-too-human family. Two new chapters to be added each week...

And that you will only experience 9.8 meters per second squared if you are in the state of falling. To the girl whom I dedicated the poem to, I ask for nothing in return, I only speak for the pleasure of truth.. and that the gravity of your undeniable beauty pulled me to a state where I am falling... I hope you will like this :) Credits to: Tomas Januska for the photo.

After jumping off a bell tower with wings strapped to her back, Lark is committed to the county asylum. But that isn't the only reason; she also ran away from her mother's house, allegedly joined a robber gang, and tore her wedding dress to shreds. Even in the late 1800's, a girl who doesn't play the social game is feared and scorned. When Lark breaks out of the madhouse, her escape is concealed from the public--but Brixham's finest are on Lark's trail, threatening to ruin her new life for good. Her two best friends are missing, the police are breathing down her neck, and a rival gang is about to sack her mother's house, but Lark is out for blood. She's going to find her friends and get revenge--especially on the boy who got her committed in the first place, who may be the only one to help her escape the law.

The dark council have prepared a 'contract' for certain individuals. They may not be the one at fault, but for whatever reason, restrictions play a part in their foreseeable future. Combined with a set of rules that have to be followed, Sophie struggles with her special preoccupation- taking a life to gain another day of living. One body for one day and two bodies for two more days, all within a time limit. How long can she keep it up? Why was she chosen to do this in the first place? What on earth is the dark council? So many questions with so many yet to be answered. All rights reserved. WARNING: Contains some mature content. And I apologize for the short, lack of dept chapters - this was my first story. Please bear with me.
