A Story Of Change And Heart. ~~~ "What's this? A journal? Diary?" He pried, his curiosity getting the best of him. Her face flushes a light shade of pink. "It's nothing!" She pauses, realizing her mistake, a huge mistake. The same one all her characters make in every book she has ever written. "I mean," she continues softer, almost whispering. "It's nothing of importance." A grin grew on his face just watching her. She was far too cute for her own good. "If you say so, I'll take your word for it." He replies, setting the little book back onto the shelf. Feeling a presence moving around behind him, he pivots his head. What he sees absolutely amazes him. Astonishing. There she was in the middle of her living room, hunched down, with a cat crawling down her back. Her gentle smile aimed up at him as she tries to remove the cat's claws from the fabric of her shirt. His heart melts. One smile and he is completely and utterly done for. That was it. Kaplooey. ~~ Adelyn Keyes, a 26-year-old aspiring author, trapped in a world of black-and-white. With no color perception she creates her own version of the world she lives in. Through books and her journalism she changes the way people think. She doesn't need color if she has words. But, did she really believe that? Wouldn't black-and-white get boring? Maybe a little bit of color is exactly what she needs. Mark Evans, a local police officer, is completely happy with where his life is at. He has a job he enjoys, close friends, what else could he possibly need? A changing circumstance completely disregards that thought. Why was change so hard? Where did this girl even come from? Another planet? Is she what he was missing this whole time? Is he what she was missing?

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
