The next moment in time that you walk past someone, whether it be a family member or a stranger, ask them, "What is darkness?"
What is their answer? Ask yourself that question... what's your answer?
Is it a dictionary definition or is it something more... something deeper in meaning?
When you ask the normal citizen, you usually find that they know what one kind of darkness is.
Everyone knows of the night's darkness. It comes after every sunset and leaves at every dawn.
But some kinds of darkness are more dangerous than others.
In some worlds, the only safety is darkness.
The kind that swallows you whole, keeping you in its depths until it decides it wants you to leave.
But sometimes, it decides to hurt you, take those you love.
It takes everything from you until there is nothing left to take.
That is the worst kind of darkness, and only few know what that really feels like.
Aline is one who wasn't ever beautiful, she's programmed wrong, she's an error.
In this dystopian world, darkness creates peace, and peace creates change.
But sometimes change creates chaos.

Kadota (Love Trilogy)
In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.Complete
