(This is a first draft of a novel written as part of NaNoWriMo throughout November 2017.  The content will be added to and extended daily in November)
Description:

If somebody accidentally killed your husband, would you want him dead? Or as your slave?

If you are young and free, would you prefer a lifetime of slavery with no hope of remission, or a quick death?

Are you sure?

In the world of 2022, the punishment for all crimes is decided by the victim or their family. Prisons are full. The death penalty is an option, or the family can take the convict as a slave in compensation. 

A moment of frustration changes a young man's life forever. Living a destructive, drug and alcohol-fuelled life, his escalating aggression leads to an unintentional crime and a life of serfdom.

Toiling on the quiet family farm he begins to understand who he is and tries to atone for his past. As time passes, his relationship with the daughter of the family brings him a sense of peace he has never found before.

When this is callously ended, the full inhumanity of his sentence hits him and he teeters on returning to his old nihilistic and hedonistic ways.All Rights Reserved

EXTRACT FROM BOOK: I don't know how to live anymore. With everyone I care about dead, all I can do is focus on Survival finding Food, Fresh Water and Keeping away from the dangerous groups of Reluquos. After the Disease that killed off the Majority of the world finally deceased it left the world a Hostile and Dangerous place. With approximately 2,500 people left in America and 15,000 left in the world, it isn't often you come across someone just passing by, there are three main groups that stick together The Beati, who are the apocalyptic version of a hippy, The Operarios Group (just normal people trying to survive), and then of course The Reluquos the power hungry killers who execute anyone who try's to get in their way or disagrees with them. Oh and then there are just the Loners like me hoping to find somewhere they can fit in and belong. I don't know what made me go this route but for some reason I did and now I'm standing face to face with a Reluquos Army Leader. His strong arm grips onto my Shoulder stopping me from moving, He regards me coolly studying my face for signs of fear, which I'm trying my damned hardest to suppress. Finally he talks....

Guardian Reapers - NaNoWriMo2017 by Savy_Pearson

Where do you go when you die? For this kid, it's Purgatory. In fact, quite a few visit Purgatory, but most everyone moves on. Not this kid. They've been saved, by Death himself, for a very different mission. They will be reaping and advising souls, keeping the very balance of the universe. They will be the newest guardian reaper. ____________________________________ He raised the scroll again and proceeded reading. "We have evaluated your life, and you do not clearly fit into a category of the afterlife. For this reason, you have been sent to purgatory to be advised. After your trial period, I will decide where you fit, or whether you'll need a second trial for advising." He paused, looked up at me, and frowned. "What's your name?" "Why?" "It doesn't show up on the document. It should fill in automatically, the second you've been assigned for advising," he explained. "Odd. Very odd. Come with me, you're a separate case." "Separate from what?" "Everyone else, of course." ______________________________________ (Written for NaNoWriMo2017)

Karo Falling by elizabethkc

~COMPLETED AND IN EDITING~ It's National Novel Writing Month! This book will be done by the end of November 2016! In Karo, no one is safe. The government is looming over the people, and even though Upper Karo is thousands of miles away from Lower Karo, their power is painful and their punishments unjust. Karo is rebelled against, war breaking out. People die and people lie. Sadie's father will never return, never laugh with her again. Sadie is left sliding across grief's slippery surfaces. She's losing touch with life, forgetting how to live at the worst time ever, when survival is down to skill not chance, when she needs to remember most how to protect her family. But Karo is crushing, putting to much weight on her shoulders. Balancing is to hard for her, and she makes fatal mistake after fatal mistake. Who will Sadie become? Will she let go of who she is and kill? She can't make a good choice; whatever she does creates chaos and reveals secrets best left hidden. The question on everyone's mind; Will Karo stand or will Karo fall?

✅ My Cousin's Keeper [NaNoWriMo 2021] by kittyangelabdl

Gabby wants a little to look after, so she and her girlfriend Ffrances can have the joy of playing with a child. When her cousin Tess comes to stay with her for a year, it looks like a perfect opportunity. Gabby will help Tess to find a childlike headspace, and everyone will have what they want. Unfortunately, Tess is more than a little reluctant, but Gabby knows how to work around that. It might take a little more time, but she's sure that Tess will realise how happy she is to be a baby by the end of the year. --------- This book and The Last New Start tell the same story from different perspectives. Both of them will be complete stories in their own right, but reading them together might give a little more depth. I will be writing these for NaNoWriMo 2021, which means that I will attempt to post at least one chapter of one of the stories every day in November; and if I can write faster than that, then any remaining chapters will be available to all my Patreon supporters (including the $1 tier) for this month. If there's anything in particular you would like to see in this story, please leave me a comment.

The Summons by BJoannCrisp

In the future, the government seems to have little to do with how criminals are judged and penalized-that's all done by the citizens instead. The police still investigate crimes and punish, after a short and on-the-spot trial, all criminals found guilty of any crimes lower than murder. Dozens of walking, dehumanized and lobotomized criminals stand as perfect examples to the citizenry against committing any crime. For the capital crime of murder, an Accuser must formally bring the charge against the one party they believe to be responsible. At random, a citizen must then fill his or her civic duty and judge the Accused, carrying out the punishment-an execution in the same manner of death that the victim suffered-by the end of the trial. There is no room for wrong judgement and, as history shows, once someone is Accused, execution is the kindest and most just answer. Raised to be a pacifist, the newest Judge cannot fathom the course of action he must take against a so-called criminal who seems to be the only person ever wrongfully Accused. Will the Judge make the right choice or make what everyone before him has said is the correct choice? Mature due to language and some scenes of violence.

Fresh into her last semester of high school, Len is looking forward to three things: spending time with her recent close-friend-turned-girlfriend, completing a summer road trip with her brother Brendon, and finally, getting the hell out of her hometown, to an out-of-state college where she'll be able to reinvent herself as whoever she would be if her Catholic mom wasn't always breathing down her neck. But then Brendon commits suicide, leaving behind a cell phone with a series of messages meant for Len alone. To unlock the messages, and find whatever Brendon wanted her to find, Len must confront painful memories - and painful truths about herself. *DO NOT READ if you are triggered by suicide or suicidal ideation* (This is a very very very rough draft.)
