Roots On The Rocks
What if your place in society was determined two centuries before you were born? What if you were resented just for existing? What if you never meant to survive? But I did. I'm an illegal, a drain on society, the descendant of criminals, worthless. I know how to survive and that's all that matters. I never thought I would get, let alone deserved, anything more than that. Why would I? I'm not supposed to even be here. But then I meet them. And him. They aren't supposed to be here either but they are. Could I be part of something bigger? What if is there is something more for me than survival?Complete
Human Status
I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.Complete
Deception 4
I'm done crying. If life taught me anything, it would be to not give a flying fuck. Crying didn't get me anywhere. Writing helped a little. But it's over.

Sometimes I wonder what to do. When people lie to me, what should I do? I mean, what would you do if someone is being...deceptive?Complete
What can I say
They say that you never do something without reason. I say that they're wrong. My father cheated on my mom. He had no reason. My mom married a month after they got divorced. She didn't love him, so no reason there. I have 5 stepbrothers and 4 stepsisters in total. That's a lot of people. I've been bullied. A lot. No reason for me being treated cruelly. I have faked my death to escape my reality and my messed up family. What reason did I have? Well, according to many people there is no reason for doing that. For walking away. But, what can I do about it all now? I'm Alice Wondernez. And, now I ask you, what can I possibly say now? **KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN WHEN I WAS LIKE 12/13.** #40 newstart 12-06-2019 (40/840) #18 bigsister 12-06-2019 (18/218)Complete
Lies and Manipulation
I don't look like a spy. I'm small, dark hair, short and quiet. Fact is though that I am--and I'm pretty good at it. Maybe it's because I can read people's minds. Maybe not. Okay--probably. I have one last mission then Rob and I get to settle down quietly. Only, I'm captured. Big problem.  Or maybe not, because the more that I learn while captured, the more I wonder how much of my life is really lies and how much is really the truth. ********Complete
