America has been divided into two factions, the cause being the inveterate compulsion that demands adequacy in all aspects of beauty: perfection. Two contrasting societies sectioned from each other, with one side completely altering themselves to achieve the aim their ardent desire for perfection is fuelling whilst the other loathes the very principle of it, preaching it as a wrong and sinful act formed by a lust for refinement. Fleur Huxley is bound by her societies distaste for perfection. Lessons taught in an attempt to restrict this forbidden desire have been to no avail as covertly, Fleur can't help but be entranced by it all. After America's annual Supremacy day - a ceremony in which an individual is whisked away to a life in the perfection division - Fleur's life takes a sudden turn into a world she isn't familiar with. With impending rebellions and a zeal for perfection inciting her actions, Fleur is slipped into a world of deceptive passion and ravishing beauty, a place in which dangerous secrets lie behind the most beautiful eyes. But Fleur is oblivious to it all, persistent in her hunt for perfection but as haunting realities threaten the world she is enthralled by, will Fleur finally realise there is a dark side to perfection? After all, in a passion-driven world built on deceit, how many sacrifices can you truly make on a quest for ultimate perfection? [ science-fiction #12 - 2/1/14 ]

They weren't supposed to meet. But life does that sometimes; it throws in a couple of new faces that bring you the utmost of joys in the most unlikeliest of places, and every now and then, you'll come across someone who changes you - someone who's genuine and wonderful and full of hope; someone who changes your perspective on the things that you had stored away in the cardboard box sitting in the dark corner of your closet, someone who opens up your eyes to new things; bright and beautiful things that you can't believe you hadn't seen before, someone who's iridescent. And once you meet them, nothing will ever compare.
