"You see a massive, impenetrable wall surrounding your paradise. All I see is a crumbling mass of steel and insecurities thrown over some foul lies."
-- Rayne Byrin has everything going exactly the way he wants it to. He lives in the town of Paramino. A city that uses its technology advances and years of research to better the community in many ways. Rayne is known for his extreme intellect and has received the job offer of his dream before he even graduates from school. His life is so comfortably mundane that he believes it will stay that way forever. Right? Wrong. On one particular day the very thing that will turn his life upside-down and inside-out escapes from a high security prison. Cecil, a mysterious, smart mouthed, egotistical convict that just wants to leave the city. This walking disaster somehow wanders into Rayne's life and begins to unravel his seemingly perfect life one strand at a time. Cecil tells Rayne that the city isn't all that he thinks it is, Rayne begins having doubts as well. He ends up aiding the escapee to his freedom, well aware of what could happen to him and his normal life. One thing is for sure, after that night, Rayne's world will never be the same again.

SKIN
SKIN PART ONE OF THE TATTOO SERIES An Urban Fantasy Crime Novel ABOUT SKIN The relationship of tattoos to antisocial personality disorder would seem obvious. However, as we live in politically correct times, nothing can be taken for granted any more. Knee-jerk responses like this one need to be hypothesized and then studied under conditions of clinical accuracy. Preliminary results seem to confirm what we all thought anyway; forensic psychiatric inpatients are more likely to have tattoos. No kidding. They are likely to have a higher percentage of overall body area tattooed. They are also more likely to have histories of sexual and substance abuse and suicide attempts than non-tattooed offenders. So why do they get more tattoos? What are they trying to do? Externalize? Internalize? Keep themselves safe from demons the rest of us can't see? Are they just crazy or do they know something the rest of us don't? The oldest known tattoos date back 5000 years to a male found frozen in the Alps in 1991. He was very, very dead. The latest tattoo in human history is the one that is about to be drilled into the stretched out skin on my back. And me? I'm as good as dead anyway... The needle pierces my skin at 3000 jabs a minute. What's that per second? 50 times? My math's not bad. How likely am I now to take drugs, sexually abuse and engage in suicidal anti-social behavior? Answer; very, very much indeed.β What would you do to save your family? You probably don't even want to know. Neither did Dennis Small, but he sure as hell was going to find out.Complete
Lifeafter; The era of the Revenants

Link City
When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.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!)

Cover art is NOT mine. If you know the artist, please let me know. This story will contain abuse, foul language, sexual topics, body image issues, starving, depression, and sexual assault. You will be warned before it happens You moved into a new town about 2 weeks ago. You're trying to get a new start and run away from your past. You worked at an office job as an assistant. After working there for a month, you started dating your boss, Daniel. Everything was great. You were happy and felt ready to take on anything. Until Dan started drinking. One night, you and Dan got into a huge argument, and he hit you. Ever since then, you were terrified of him. He was easily angered and wasn't afraid to hit you as long as no one was looking. He made your life a living hell, especially during work since he was your boss. You were never in the mood, but that didn't stop him. You learned to just take it. After a year, you had enough. While he was out on a work trip, you packed your things and moved hours away and never looked back. You now live in a small apartment in the city. For the past 2 weeks, you've been checking your back every second and making sure to lock everything. You're scared he might find you. Eventually, you got hired at a job. Tomorrow is your first day at Superstar Daycare. You don't really like kids, but the pay is great. You weren't told that much in the email. Just that you'll be working with an animatronic, named Sundrop. But your job is mostly at the counter, so you won't have to interact with him that often. One big thing that convinced you to apply was that you won't have human coworkers. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there, but they'll all be in their own area, like Fazer Blast, Monty Golf, etc.. You hate being around people. You hate talking to them. 1st, you're not very good at it, and 2nd, people just suck in general. Too much attitude.
