The Damned Children
Humanity has unlocked the elixir of eternal life. The brain can be cleaned and washed back into youthfulness. The body cannot. But by transporting the brain to a younger body, one that can host it, it can continue living. The synthetically produced humans are not people. Of course they're not. If they were people then the originally occurring humans would be monsters for killing them and transferring originally occurring brains into their bodies. The originally occurring people are not monsters. Of course not. They just want to live. And to save something you need to kill something. The synths are a necessary sacrifice. ----- Ika has heard what the originals think about the synths. But she also knows her own heart, and her own grief, and her own terror.Complete
I'll Make You Remember
I relaxed my jaw "That's it baby, take it. You thought I forgot about you fucking my best friend to get back at me?" He grabs on the back of my head forcing himself down my throat "Make it sloppy I want to see how messy you can get. Show me how sorry you are." I know he's still holding back, and I want to see how aggressive he can get, so I don't follow his orders which only strikes his anger. He raises my head up by my hair, so his dick falls out of my mouth. "How about you focus on the road" Milo smiles at me before looking back at the road, I spit on his dick before grabbing it with both hands. "You know you enjoyed seeing me ride your best friend till we both came together. We can always do a round two and you can join if you want." He presses on the gas even more going faster than before "You better make me cum before we make it home or I'll tie you up and fuck you till I think you had enough." ... Layanna is a lover at heart. After going through hell, she still takes in everyone else's sins like it's her own and wears them in her scars. Everyone knows who she is but doesn't know her real story and she keeps it from the kids she raises. All they know is what they see and how she ended up with her with her husband. Do they even know how she's surviving? Layanna falls in love for all the wrong reasons to benefit the last of her family even if that means she has to suffer.
Learning To Live
Some people think that dying is where a person ceases to live or where your soul leaves your body. Well, those people are wrong. When Enna Laeyton looks back at her life, sure she regrets many things, but she eventually came to a conclusion about life as it applied to her. When Enna died, she did not leave, she was merely transformed, and that was when she really started learning to live. ~~~~ "I would be safe there. But then again, safety was a lie. A huge, fat lie. The kind of lie that ruins and devastates the lives of a large number of people. The kind of lie that punishes the innocents of the world while the guilty people are really the ones at fault. I had always thought that i would be safe. That i would never be the kind of person who was on the run and tried to hide from reality and from the truth. I was so wrong when i thought that. I would never be safe. Ever. I would never have a place to live where i was not in fear of my life. I would never be normal. So safety, safety was a word that i did not seem to know what it was like to experience because my life, or rather, my afterlife, had been less safe than my actual time as living had been." ~~~~ #389 in STRONG ~ 07/16/18 #172 in LESSONS ~ 09/05/18Complete

Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran.
