In this futuristic world, no one needs to remember. Daily memories are uploaded to an e-cloud every evening, leaving space in the brain for more intensive opportunities, chances to relive favorite moments, and accurately retain life's details. But with a centralized, online database, individuals lose control over their experiences. Memories can be manipulated, overwritten, erased. Sixteen-year-old Robbie is one of the few thinking about these flaws and their accompanying risks, thanks to his mother's job as a data scientist. Her secret observations seem to indicate a government lying to its people, but what does this mean for Robbie, for his family, for society? There is one person who may be able to help him, a girl in his classes who may have similar thoughts and observations of a world not as efficient and advanced as it appears to be. Though Aliyah avoids him, Robbie continues to study her, looking for an opportunity to confirm his suspicions--until the day he discovers something that reveals someone else is watching him watching her.

Escape From Reality
This is a story that I wrote for my English class. My teacher said I should put it online. I'm not exactly positive if this is what she meant, but here it is. This is a Sci-Fi story about Lauren, a 14 year old girl who finds a portal to an alternate universe in a janitor's closet. You're going to have to read to find out more. P.S. There are no chapters because I was too lazy to make chapter names, so it is just one ongoing story with no dividers whatsoever. Sorry about that. WARNING!!! There is some romance, so do not read if you dislike romance. :)Complete
The Memory Collector
--- *Description* In the crumbling coastal town of Grayers Bay, people are forgetting things vital things. Names, faces, entire lives vanish from their minds overnight. There's no explanation. No warning. Just a strange humming in the air before the memories disappear. *Nova Sinclair* has spent the last decade in hiding, keeping a dangerous secret: she can see and absorb memories through touch. It's a curse she's tried to bury until she stumbles upon a woman on the beach who collapses without a single memory left. Now, with the town slipping into collective amnesia and the echoes of a covert experiment she once escaped resurfacing, Nova is the only one who knows what's really happening. But the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a terrifying truth: Someone is *harvesting memories* and they're just getting started. To stop it, Nova will have to confront her fractured past, navigate a web of deception, and decide just how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice. Because in a world where memories are currency, forgetting is the ultimate weapon. --- Ranks --- #168 - technology # 430 - memories #135 - independent #108 - mission #9 - scifi #103 - memorylossComplete

The Edge of Darkness
"I did not choose to become this way. This corrupted, innocent body. Who in their right mind would willingly choose this life?" Max is just one of thousands of unwilling cyborgs sent home after the interstellar war. With the threat of recycling haunting her every move, she can't even touch the only bright spot in her life: strong, handsome Ethan. Love means nothing to a cyborg - they're not even human. The robotics makes them incapable of love. They can not marry. They cannot raise children. So why does Max's heart race when she meets Ethan again on the long journey home? Why does his forbidden touch feel so good, and set her blood burning? And why are so many cyborgs recycled when they are otherwise healthy and able to perform their work? With the strange alien Authorities watching every move, Max uncovers a conspiracy bigger than the war than enslaved her in the first place. To find an escape from the horrific nightmare that her transport spaceship home has become, Max must race to find the answers and save the people she cares about, before her world and everything she knows is lost to darkness. The Edge of Darkness was first published in 2011 and is available in complete e-book form and paperback on both Smashwords and Amazon.
