SPRING AWARDS 2020 WINNER // The pale splatter of my coffee juxtaposed against the blackness of the bitumen road is striking. All I can think is that it looks so reminiscent of those white chalk drawings, the outlines that people draw of dead bodies at a crime scene. That could have been my dead body. "Evangeline! Say something!" I turn my back on the ghost of my coffee to face him. "You owe me a coffee." Did I say that? My words seem mechanic, disjointed. Rafe gives me a weird look before he replies. "You owe me your life." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Evangeline Leger is a metaphorical mirror. Once a golden girl. Glimmering with aspirations, brimming with hope. Now she is broken. Her sharp, bitter fragments cut anyone who gets too close. A mere shadow of the girl she once was, she has become a shallow reflection of the person who used to own her heart. And to top all that off, she feels as if her seven years of bad luck have coincided with the start of her first year of college. Enter Rafe. Also known as Rich Boy Archer. When the universe (and a professor) throws the two of them together, Rafe and Evie become acquaintances, friends. Something more. And although Evie's sparkling façade does well to hide her dark past, she feels her mask slipping further and further with each growing moment she spends with Rafe. The ghosts of Evie's past still haunt her, threaten to spill into her new life. Nobody can know the truth about it. But, as Evie is about to discover, she's not the only one hiding behind a veneer. Because in Astoria, everybody wears a mask. And with dire misfortune and death following Evie as she navigates her new life in a game of shadows, somebody is bound to die.

"'Now then, first question- when did you begin having critical or negative feelings about the system?" the Chief Administrator probed. 'Around a month ago," I answered honestly, forcing myself to remain staring at the wall ahead of me as I revealed this. I searched for some fragment of hope or a sign, though I knew that there was none. Their intense stares sent chills throughout my body.' --------- Alexandra Leighwood belongs to a society with a slogan that says it all- "No decisions equals no power, no fighting, no problem." With a fair amount of brainwashing and an ever-present fear of the consequences that come from rebelling, most people bow down to the system, allowing themselves to be utterly controlled and manipulated. But 17-year-old Alexandra, or Alex, is just plain different. Her strong will and determination is exactly what the Administrators DON'T want. Seen as qualities posing a dire threat to society, Alex is in great danger. Will her refusal to give in be her greatest strength, or her greatest weakness? ---------- TRIGGER WARNING: There is a scene where, in the main character's dream, a character is cutting her wrist. Also there are a couple violent scenes (but they're not gory and not that bad). In addition, Alex is required to undress and shower in front of others. But that's about it!

Instead of meeting the challenges head-on, she does what she is good at. She runs away but the world isn't a quadrilateral and the more you run the nearer you come to the place you escaped from. Will she face her destiny this time?
