She gets into fights - sometimes for money - she swears worse than most sailors; she skips out on school, and spends most of her days recovering from the previous night's drinking escapades. Leah, however, is observant, knowing most of everyone's dirty laundry in West Mount. But unlike most people, she doesn't Lord it over you, not unless she's backed into a corner. So when her own little secret is uncovered by West Mounts Golden Boy, Leah will go to many lengths to keep him from uncovering the rest of the Nitty Gritty story behind who she really is. So with secrets on the line, drama ready to unfold, a player, gossip, fighter and a mysterious bad boy in the mix.

... All it took was a hug. ...

IT ALL BEGAN WITH AN ENDING. 18 year old physics student Zack McArthur is at rock bottom. Depressed. Anxious. Suicidal. The only thing that keeps him going is his sister and sole true friend, Talia. One day, his self-harm defeats him and his life slips away. However, his story doesn't end there. He then finds himself in a vast place, fraught with danger and mystery that does not obey reason in the slightest. Fleeing across this wilderness, Zack encounters nightmarish monsters, passes through inter-dimensional doors and finds friendship with the unlikeliest of people. Clueless as to why or how he arrived in this afterlife, Zack sets out on a desperate quest to understand what his purpose is and to make contact with his sister, for the sake of closure and redemption. But all should beware The Stranger that lurks.

When a shy 18 year old accidentally falls into the hands of a lucrative criminal organization, she is forced to abandon her old life and cooperate with the group's dangerous schemes. Will she escape and bring down the organization, or will she find her place among them? This will evolve into a complex story with lots of revelations and plot twists. Enjoy :)
