Many people move here for new jobs in the new economy. One of these people is Yemen having just settled his budding family here not long ago. His wife and daughters are all excited to begin their new life, along with the arrival of another child. Sadly a mysterious illness takes 12 years of Yemen's life.

Carla has been stuck in the Fae and Fortune club for eight years, unable to move and unaware of everything around her. The manager had given up on her ever coming back to reality and so she's sat in the corner gathering dust. It was so sudden and so strange.
Sat in his top floor office Dr Lyric finds himself and his medical center at the epicenter of an outbreak of illnesses that doesn't seem to follow medical rules or even the laws of time and space...
He would know, he's a general practitioner with a second doctorate in theoretical physics.
Time Sicknesses he's calling them. What could they be, and where did they come from?
Radio waves dance through the ever blue sky. An invisible border stops us going back.

The Stranger Who Knew My Secrets
I didn't believe in fate until the day I found a note tucked inside my locker: "Run. He's watching you." The problem? I have no idea who "he" is-or why someone would warn me. Then came him. The new guy, Theo, with his dark eyes and a crooked smile that screamed trouble. Theo seems to know more about my life than I do. And every time he's near, I feel two things: a magnetic pull... and the shadow of danger. But secrets have a way of unraveling. And the deeper I fall for Theo, the closer I get to uncovering the truth-about him, the note, and why I might be next.Complete
Drowning Fish by Heron Djenne Canvasback
Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids. They have a conscious mind though, but their craving for brains is a bit of an antisocial issue. Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

Quantum Deception
In a world where reality is negotiable and the future is a probability wave, one woman holds the key to humanity's survival-or its destruction. Meet Eve Thorne: MI6's top quantum spy, a master of parallel possibilities, and now, the reluctant guardian of the multiverse. When a routine mission uncovers "Project Oracle," a shadowy initiative with the power to predict-and control-the future, Eve is thrust into a high-stakes game of multiversal chess. With the enigmatic Puppeteer pulling strings from the shadows and realities collapsing around her, Eve must navigate a labyrinth of quantum deception where every choice splits the timeline and every ally could be an enemy in disguise. Joined by brilliant physicist Dr. Amelia Zhao, charming CIA operative Gabriel Stone, and a host of unexpected allies from across the quantum divide, Eve races against time-and probability itself-to unravel a conspiracy that threatens not just our world, but every possible version of it. "Quantum Deception" fuses cutting-edge physics with heart-pounding espionage, taking readers on a mind-bending journey through parallel worlds, each fraught with danger and possibility. As the lines between friend and foe, reality and illusion blur, one question remains: In a universe of infinite possibilities, can free will survive? Dive into a reality-warping adventure that will challenge your perceptions, quicken your pulse, and leave you questioning the very nature of existence. "Quantum Deception"-where the observer effect is a weapon, Schrödinger's cat is a state secret, and the fate of all possible worlds hangs in the balance. Are you ready to collapse the wave function?Complete
Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
