My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life.

A Dream turned Nightmare. A Celebrity and his stalker make a vacation to South Korea anything but boring. All Shay wanted was to escape being the "recovering cancer patient" at home. Ending up on a TV show wasn't the escape she had in mind. In South Korean culture, a sasaeng is an over-obsessive fan of a Korean idol, or other public figures, that has engaged in stalking or other behaviors that constitute an invasion of privacy. #13 in Korean drama _________________ Shay stood there looking at the gate. Looking around she noticed the cameras stationed outside looking down on her. She wondered again for the millionth time if she was making the right decision. She had no idea what to expect. The last thing she needed was sasaeng fans hunting her down to throw eggs at her. If the other occupants were just regular people like her, then hopefully that possibility would be low. However, this was Korea and all the other reality shows she'd ever seen had celebrities in it. So really, this could be anything. ********************** This is a rough draft, feel free to leave comments and suggestions. What works for you and what doesn't. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. Be honest.
