Barbed wire: representative of Keep Out: Danger. A symbol of problems in poetry. But what does that have to do with this story?

Meet Skylar. A fearless, dangerously curious teenager. She also has a hint of rebellion (of course. What teenager doesn't?). In communities of the Eutopian country of Alexiteric, fear, intelligence, and normality are built into people. Curiosity is strongly discouraged for good reason.

The curious are likely to meet an unpleasant fate on the wrong side the barbed wire fences. They may be murdered, robbed, or dying of starvation. The desert area of Acrasia is ruthless. No one returns from behind the barbed wire.

Will Skylar? Will she discover something she never knew and return safely or will she meet an unlikely fate?

Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026
8 parts Complete Mature
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.

Nosaes

17 parts Complete Mature

We, as humans, believe that the future holds great things; it doesn’t. Keezhekoni Spenken lives in the worst of the worst. The government turns a blind eye to most of the happenings in Vav, Keezhekoni’s town. Murders, robberies, kidnappings. All of the awful things you can think of. All throughout the country, Nosaes, the residents develop a tattoo sort of marking somewhere on their body. Each of them have a specific meaning, a sort of look into the future. If one wants to know what their tattoo means, they’ll consult the Tarahcle. Their tattoo is null and void if the person so happens to leave Nosaes. This, however, is very tricky and dangerous… and also punishable by death. Kellen, Keezhekoni’s longtime friend, and Teague, Keezhekoni’s brother, have quite a predicament. Keezhekoni and her closest friends must do what they think is right, even if it is wrong in the eyes of hierarchical power. ***Rated R for some mature content and swearing***
