Emily was the last person they expected to rebel. Which also made her the most powerful. Emily's life was starting to seem pointless: she didn't love her partner, she had few friends - though none that she'd run into a burning building to save. However she stuck to the rules and painted a smile on her face just like everyone else had to. But when she came across a stranger lurking in her friend's house, she got lost in a secret that could destroy her. Set in a dystopia called Eriton, this story follows Emily as she battles the system, trying to escape with her life and find what the world is really like beyond the city walls. ***** I promise this story does get more interesting - about chapter 6 - with the arrival of Harry (and NO that is not Harry Styles). So if you persevere through all of the introductions, you shall be rewarded! *****

@RANDOM28lol contacted me with a story idea where they asked if they could write the poems in the story. I didn't feel like I could write the story they wanted me to but I asked them to send me one of the poems. The poem inspired me. ❤ So I suggested another concept of the story and they agreed. All the poems in the story are written by the talented @RANDOM28lol. Harry has lost his voice. He has been mute for years. Ever since his family was brutally murdered in their home. He suffers from PTSD and survivor's guilt. Thinking that not allowing himself to talk somehow honor the death of his family. It's a lonely life. He has no one to talk to. Doctors and therapists have given up on him. He writes poems as a way to express how he feels. He also writes at work. Running the gossip section of The Sun is something he despises but he's a journalist and he needs a job. No one tries to talk to him at work either. It's his own fault. But he hates how they go silent and then whisper about him as he enters the newsroom in the mornings. He keeps to himself. Until the new sports journalist catches his eye. Beautiful. Blue eyes. Wonderful smile. To his surprise, the man knows sign language and he's also determined to talk to him. Life as he knows it changes. It's scary. Will he be able to actually overcome his trauma? Be something more than a bystander of his own life? Warnings: Trauma, death.
