The year is 2113, and almost all the world's problems have been single-handedly solved with a shocking breakthrough - of how to store and transfer souls. At a certain price, anybody can buy a prolonged life, or a never-hungering body, or eternal happiness. 

However, despite the prosperity of the world as a whole, only a few rich enough can afford extra souls for themselves. And Owen Milano, left with nothing but a bare minimum of resources and his young daughter, can only dream of such things. 

Owen is stricken to discover that his daughter has fallen to a disease that will kill her in a short period of time. Not willing to lose anything more, Owen sees no other choice but to steal a soul to preserve his daughter's life. But it appears that the souls have a much darker truth behind it...

The rules of this new life are simple: submit everything-mind, body and soul. But the further Ellie falls under Dublin's control, the more she comes to realize that it's not just her sanity at stake, but her heart and a whole lot of blood too. [TO BE PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 28.

Heavenly Refuge by _SkySailor

She's told she would die. A disease that takes away every breath. What would you do if you were in her shoes? Luna Moon, a girl who's fate is to die by cancer's hands, is lost. She doesn't know where to turn. Until a strange guy saves her from drowning in the ocean. The guy was just a stranger, right? Wrong. He goes to her school, and somehow ends up living with Luna. Do they fall in love? Why not. She's on a limited time span, so what's to lose? Oh, right, her heart. It's kind of weird when you think that guy is a target for a drug dealer, but ends up denying him. His father's in jail, and he's scarred. Who does he trust? Simon Morse learns to actually enjoy his life when Luna takes him into her home. But he didn't know. "... It's a story that will capture your heart every chapter... At the happy parts I was crying... And at the sad parts? Tears of sadness..." ~Sarabat01 (a/n: This is book #1 in the Refuge series which is a stand-alone series. Meaning that you can read each book by itself, but they're all part of the same... grouping, should I call it?) (another a/n: I've been reading this over and I'm a harsh critique, especially on myself, and I realize... that my writing early on was... bad. I've decided to keep this book on Wattpad to help learn from my mistakes. Looking back, I can see how my writing has improved over the years. Thank you!)

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
