Imagine the possibility of everyday being your last. People able to murder one another, no government or law to stop them. A city torn down from natural disaster and raids, then only place still modern and clean is in the centre. A building where the only 'officials' are.
This is how Gemma lives. The constant thought of having a bullet sent through her skull looming in her mind. But one night every month is when things are truly a-wire. At 6pm, it comes out of it's home and fills it's stomach. People have the option of going into the very, very secure and impossible-to-break-into building. But that also means that everyone else in the building has the option to kill you. A risk either way, but always no way to escape.
This all started when Gemma was a young, thoughtless girl, and all of this slipped right past her. That is, until she had a confrontation with it. She witnessed it's special feeding ceremony on her mother, father, and older sister. It came up and faced her, but instead of seeing hunger in it's eyes, Gemma saw hopelessness and sorrow.
Gemma didn't think it had feelings, or that it was barely even a living creature, but the painful truth behind it comes out during one of the not-so-average monthly cycles. Will Gemma get the last shot, or will someone else shoot her before she has the chance to uncover the truth of the helpless 'it'?

Hiding Anna [rewritten]
[THIS IS A REWRITTEN VERSION OF THE OG] *** WARNING: Contains extremely triggering and mature content in almost every single chapter in this book, read at your own discretion. *** "That's not a fair deal." She whispered, more to herself than to me. "I know." "Sleep over but with no sex?" "No sex." I confirmed. She pursed her lips together and clenched her hands on the sides of the cabinet. Her eyes flitted over to the remains of two lines of ket. There was still a dusting of powder on the side. "Fine." One word. It was a miracle. I was certain she'd say no, but I'd wanted to try anyway. "No one can know." She reaffirmed. But as soon as those words were out she scraped the remaining powder onto her finger pads and snorted it. *** Cassie Moore is a walking mystery, but the ghosts of her childhood are neither glamorous nor intriguing. She is broken, and the perpetrator stays hidden in plain sight, taunting her with her very existence everyday at school. And one day, it all comes to a climax and her entire world shifts. This is a beautiful romance between two people who love each other more and more every day that goes by. Two people who better each other, a boy who sets a girl free. This is a journey between a girl and her emotions that are continually working against her. This is a tale of how two misfortunate people grow out and with each other in adversity.Complete
Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
