Countdown

This is the shortened version of my longer novel. Essentially the way I write is I take all my ideas for the entire storyline and summarize it on paper before expanding and elaborating on the finer details within my novel. The version you are reading is that shortened version. Each section will roughly cover about one chapter of storyline which is then being expanded for my final book. I am posting on here to get a feel for what people want to read when it comes to the exploration of this new world I've developed. Hope is a very close character to my heart as she embodies much of what I have gone through in my life to some extremes I'm happy to say I've never reached. I hope you enjoy it! *** Note this IS rated Mature because of some dark themes presented in the very beginning but overall the story will not remain quite as dark.
