My entry for the #homebeforedarkcontest
I published this book twice on this account, and another one. This account cannot win the contest, so, this copy is just for reading. My other account, ScarlettATracy, does have a shot at winning this contest, so, please read this book over there if you want to help out by getting my short story to the top of the list!
Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? Have you ever wondered what comes after death? Scarlett Baker was only 14 when she was tragically killed in a robbery. Her soul was erased from her body for exactly 47 minutes until, she was brought back to life. But durning the time she was dead, she discovered secrets were being kept from her, and her entire nation. What will she do when she realizes the future of her world depends on her unveiling these lies about death?
Disclaimer : This has nothing to do with suicide. It's simply saying that heaven is better than earth. And also, for those whom know me personally, I chose the name Scarlett because I couldn't think of any other name.

One Minute To Midnight- Not going to be finished
“She died at seven last night, she was murdered. Knife to the chest, she struggled and it was made to look like an accident.” The woman’s memories played through my mind. Lifting my now bloody hand off of her chest, I nodded at the LAPD officials and took the sketchpad. I quickly sketched the man from her memory, and handed it back. “His name is Marcus.” With that, I left the crime scene. You can't run away from your death, it's inevitable. But what if someone could see your death, prolong your end until another time. How much would you pay, to avoid Death's clutches? How many dollars would you fork over to one woman, to extend the ticking clock of your life? Decide soon, because you're running out of time. Tick, Tock. *This story will not be finished. I don't like it, and it doesn't make any sense. I'm going to leave it up, and it may be re-written one day. Thanks for your patience.Complete

"I'm not going to hurt you," he growls in my ear, "Neither am I going to hand you over to that Bastard." I flinch at the anger in his voice and confusion rushes through me. "What?" I squeak, attempting to get air into my constricted lungs. He sighs, the warm air brushing against my neck, sending goose bumps skittering across my skin. "I'm not going to tell him you intend to escape. How can I when I plan to do the same thing?" My mind whirls as I attempt to understand what he is saying. He wants to escape? But he is one of Lucifer's most trusted. How does that even happen? He's lying. "I'm not lying. I needed him to trust me or I would never find a way to get out." "You know a way out? Wait. Did you just read my thoughts? How did you just read my thoughts? I thought you were a shield!" Once again his sigh of exasperation leaves goose bumps on my skin and a shiver running down my spine. "I am a shield. It just so happens that I'm a reader too. Yes, that is possible. Obviously. Now can I let you go, or are you going to try and kill me again?" © 2013 by Froggie27.

My Life Being Dead
Hello. I’m Cassidy. I’m 16 years old, and I am helpless. I’m weak, defenseless and not to mention unassuming. I am utterly boring and uninteresting. I wouldn’t be surprised if God himself overlooked me. Maybe that’s why my life sucks so much. My face is dull and pale, and my hair is mousy brown. My eyes are black and my fingers are long and stringy. Once in junior high, a teacher likened me to ghost. I had wanted to tell her, “Yes. I remind myself of a ghost sometimes too.” But I didn’t say anything in return. I have one friend and even she doesn’t like me for me; only for the shiny new car my step dad bought me. Boys don’t notice me. And when they do it’s only to pick out my flaws and display them to everyone around. All in all, I am a sad and pathetic specimen of a human being. Why am I writing this? Because on June 3rd, 2011, at 12:31 am, I died.Complete![The Ground | Bellamy Blake [1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/64164699-256-k733890.jpg)

Scarlett

His eyes met mine and I suddenly felt nervous. He raised an eyebrow at me and I looked away uncomfortably. A smile played at the corner of his lips as he shut the door.
