Letting Go [complete - expanding chapters during rewrite]
My name is Chloe. I live in a world where your land of heritage determines what kind of Wereanimal you'll be, and a mate can be anyone of them. The children of two different animals may be able to change into both, a huge advantage. There are also purists who think that a blood line of only one kind of animal will have stronger children, but ignoring your mate can have mental health consequences. I dream of having my own family someday, but I'm rejected. When the opportunity comes to marry my mate's twin brother I grab on with both hands in spite of not knowing anything about him. How bad can it be? Chapters are short because I posted everyday, and each chapter represents a days work. A/N in the first draft the numbers in the chapter headings were spelled out. During the expansion the chapter numbers will be digits. That way you should be able to see how far I've come.Complete
The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl." She liked that name: Elijah. "I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company." Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said. 'Our own little world.' How had he known? She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .? Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time. "I'm listening." *** A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men. A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side. This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive. *** PLEASE NOTE: Rated mature for language, topics, and detailed descriptions of gore.
