Joel Burns is nineteen, a college freshman, and totally not prepared for whatever life throws his way. It doesn't help he lives in a world where people can be exposed to magic during traumatic events and get abilities out of it, and that he's hiding a few extra secrets from all these cool friends he's making. it also doesn't help he might be trying to find a way to dismantle old beliefs in society while balancing his science homework, too.
INCLUDES: talk about all sorts of trauma, abuse, bad things happening, but also people helping other people and healing from their experiences. also LGBTQ+ characters, including trans characters, nonbinary characters, neopronouns, and more!
(c) 2020 THEO, pls don't copy this anywhere i wanna make it a movie one day :'D
After getting into a bus crash, never follow a colorful light in the woods, no matter how enticing it may seem or how much your soul tells you to sprint towards it. But what are you supposed to do when you've been having the same nightmare every night for months? And what the HELL are you supposed to do when you meet a digital god who tells you the secrets of the universe? If Melanie or Emory knew either of those answers, they would definitely not be working for him. You only live once, though, right? You have to do what you have to do, even if it means killing people you love.
