Told through nine moments, this is a story of life, love, friendship, and flowers. {Written 2016.}

After a depressing rejection, botanist Carmen moves in with two lodgers: a mad astrophysicist, and what appears to be an inter-dimensional hell demon. It isn't the ideal trio, but they make it work. From accidentally dating racists, to defending their home against the friendly neighborhood Estonian mafioso, the lodgers bond to form an unlikely (and dysfunctional) family. [written in 2017]

HIGHEST RANK: #46 IN SCIENCE FICTION, #1 IN SUPERSTITION ~ secrets are kept for a reason ~ They had lied to everyone. They had kept secrets and hid things from the people they were supposed to protect. They thought they were doing the right thing, they thought they could fix the world but instead they destroyed it. They were given a chance to start over, they bargained lives in return for survival. The government leaders ruined everything and now was time for them to pay. Colette didn't ask for this. She didn't ask for the nightmares or the lies or anything that came after that. She wanted a normal life -- a perfect life -- and she had that until things started going wrong. Until she noticed things she wasn't suppose to notice. Then, she became aware.

When culture tells us what is appropriate, we accept it as the "views of the time". However, when do we, as human beings, draw the line of this popular acceptance? When--after we have questioned the structures of society--do we begin to stand up for our findings and challenge authority? Metro Riverton, a highly intelligent, dramatically arrogant teenage boy, is faced with these questions when he begins to think critically about the society he lives in. Is it fair to categorize people into the class they were born in? Should society be allowed to assume a person's strengths, weaknesses, and intellect based purely on their genetics and the caste of their parents? Take a journey with Metro--the famed "super kid" of his time--as he developes strong friendships, learns of new enemies, and discovers himself. Who knows? Maybe you'll find Metro has allowed you to open your own eyes--thinking critically and questioning your previous beliefs like never before. +-+-+-+-+ ❥ Thank you to my friend @-ariarose- for the lovely cover. ❥
