An Inch Of Infinity (Short Version)
In the near future the entire world is conquered by a group of people known as Royalties, or the Royals for short. They declared war on the planet. If you were not with them, you were against them. by the end of the 21st century the world was utter chaos and anyone who did not follow the laws to the letter were taken away by the Keepers. Part ninja, part spy, part soldier, the Keepers were brainwashed citizens raised from 8 months old to be able to apprehend anyone. Only 87% made it through training. The population was cut into 6 groups, one for each block, each the size of a continent. Every other healthy child was marked at birth to become a Keeper. Children were often sent to other blocks to keep the population exactly even, but not always. Rebellions rose but were extinguished quickly, before they even really started. Eventually the only hope was a single underground rebellion until even that began to disappear. This is the same exact story as An Inch of Infinity except it has been broken into small chapters to be more easily read on mobile devices. I own the characters, the story, the cover art. Everything. Please don't steal them.

The Wife's Tale
In Gilead, for both men and women, there are only so many roles. Dictated by birth, by sex, by affiliation, barely by belief. Reagan was a new mother when Gilead took over, and everything in her world fell. Now she finds herself trying to navigate an entire new life. Can she survive the minefield that is this violent place, or will she be yet another soul 'saved' by the mercy of Gilead? Will the man who saves her, keep her contained and content? Or can she, like the few lucky ones, escape to Canada, and see if the love of her life is still alive? #1 #TheHandmaidsTale #5 #dystopian (The Handmaid's Tale fanfiction, based in that world but with original characters. Needless to say, there are VAST creative liberties taken in this, its just for fun. Slow burn with Smut and Trigger warnings. Ongoing with guaranteed weekly updates.)
SOULONOMIYA

Running Out of Face
Society has finally found a way to determine from birth which children will grow up to be depressed and possibly suicidal. They've deemed these children 'terminals', separating them from the 'pures'. This dystopian novel warns against the tragic stories that will come if we continue to dismiss the depressed as inhuman instead of working towards understanding and helping others that need it. No one is too far gone. Everyone can be happy when given the right chance. This story has no smut, but PS: the ending is worth it 😏

The Bloodmaid's Tale
It all started like many things start, slow and quiet. And then they came, and everything changed. She had tried to run, but even at the gates of freedom June had fallen. Now she was property, now she was nothing more than a pet. Like a cow that was kept until it was time for slaughter. She had to survive, if not for her sister, at least to see the daylight once more before her inevitable doom. She would be free, and she would die free. An adaptation of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale. Rated +18 for language, violence, and sexual content. Please leave a vote or a message!! This is my first real work that I've rewritten a couple of times during school and college. Let me know what you think!!!

For that, they must pay by being drugged, abused, ill-treated and experimented on in order to combat the disease they started and cure the Ivories they unleashed it on. Naomi is an Ebony. But she is also an Ivory. Her curiosity and intelligence have led her to the truth. And she knows she must escape. But how can she escape when she is already dead?
