Norms. Values. Principles. That's how society molds us to become what they want us to be. At the very least, that's how Marcux, the pawn, lived his life for decades. No chance of making decisions for himself. It's always been mandatory to let the wind of expectations and criticisms blow his life. In contrast, the realist, Olivia, stood her way to get through life without the help of any but herself. No family, no friends to keep, no home to stay. In just a span of seconds, they took everything. That everything even includes a big part of her. Will they ever choose to go beyond the chains of the past that keep on coaxing them down and live their own lives instead of existing for others?

The disease destroys the body from the inside, causing organs to burst, poisons bloodstreams, shuts down vital organs, causes the bones to crystallize and in severe cases, welcomes in the other diseases. The only way to fight such a disease is through the power of will. Only the will to survive can best the disease, causing it to slowly go away as the body fights back. As the victim wants to survive and fights the disease, the better chance they have. But, everyone who has caught the disease gives up hope, and dies a slow and brutal death. This disease is known as Stigma X, or STX. Meet Ashley Reynolds, an 18 year-old girl, who is a senior in high school.

However, the disease inside of Ashley is starting to eat away at her, and the attacks from it causing her excruciating pain. Will Ashley give up on life before she gets a chance to live it out properly? Will the anguish and suffering Ashley endured for her entire life be too much for her to want to continue living?
