Imagine a world where there was a cure for every disease known to man. Imagine everything every scientist has ever dreamed of coming true to the world. Solar panels, fossil fuels, battery powered vehicles.
Imagine a perfectly flawless world.
Now imagine that despite the chance to live so presently that every human was being monitored one way or another from their birth to the age they passed. Every word, every step, every breath. Constantly counted by the council.
Imagine never being able to ask a question without the constant fear that it's the wrong one and never being told what not to be curious about.
Kaylee has broken the rule of the council. She questioned the wrong thing. She is due to be executed and removed from the system but she won't go down without a fight.

ROGUE
In a dystopian future where crime is snuffed out before it even happens, the world is under the shadow of the Reapers - hunter androids armed with predictive technology that can foresee criminal intent. Ruthlessly efficient and unwaveringly loyal to their programming, the Reapers serve as judge, jury, and executioner in a society that prizes order over freedom. 17-year-old Kayle "Kae" Hawthorne has always questioned the system, but her rebellious streak turns dangerous when the Reapers mark her as a "pre-criminal." She has no idea what crime she's supposedly destined to commit, but one thing is clear: she's now the hunted. Her only allies are her father, Inspector Samuel Hawthorne, a decorated ex-Special Forces operative turned cop torn between duty and family, and Benjamin, an unassuming housework android who proves himself to be far more capable than she ever imagined. As the Reapers close in, Kae uncovers chilling truths about their predictive technology and the shadowy organization behind it. With Benjamin's advanced intellect and her father's tactical genius, Kae fights to stay one step ahead while unraveling the conspiracy that threatens not just her freedom, but the future of humanity itself.

Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Complete

The Troubled Soul (Volume 3: Final Volume)
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who experienced constant pain. The only person who truly stayed by his side was Kallie, his sister. She was his everything. His life, his family, his best friend...his world. Then humanity had to take her away and wreck his perfect, peaceful life. As if it was not enough humans were the source of all his pain and suffering he experienced throughout his life, and the reason for all his scars and symbols, they took away the only person he cared about. Well, enough was enough. He tried leaving humanity alone. He tried living a peaceful life away from all the fighting. It was all he wanted; to live a peaceful life with his sister, but humanity would not allow him that. So, if battling was the only thing humans throughout history understood, then he would bring them a war. So now, he has a new goal. Peace treaties are made between humans but they never last. War, however, forces the loser to obey no matter what for however long the winner decides. If humanity-the entire world-only submitted to the strongest then he would dominate them all. Only he would be the strongest, allowing no other person to even come close to his power. He would burn the world down to its very foundation, eradicating everyone who stands in his way, and rebuild it anew. The new world would be transformed into what he could never have. A fair and just world, devoid of all sins, where everyone can live a peaceful life without the constant worry of what could hurt them next. New laws will be placed while the old ones are removed. All evil will be purged from the world. Any who stand in his way will be turned to ash to help build his world. If the world wanted him to be evil so badly...then he would be a malicious tyrant that rules not with an iron fist, but a diamond one. Of course, there will be many who will fight back. However, there is only one person who even has a chance at winning...and she only cares about her little sunshine.Complete
A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)
