The Number. We all dread it, and yet no one can escape it. Everyone receives it on the week of our eighteenth's birthday, rather we like it or not. We all take the Test and get on with our lives until we reach whatever number we received, most of us living over the age of seventy. Unless you are one of the few with a number lower than thirty. Or like me, with a number I didn't even think was possible: 18.
Embark on Fira's journey as she escapes from her premature death and finds herself enrolled into a secret rebel camp alongside fellow supposed-to-be-dead Brad Simpson.
When the world you know turns out to be a masquerade, you fight until justice is served.

Life Lost and Found
Madeline found the note in her locker. Neatly folded, it held a pair of razor blades and a set of instructions. "Just die, ugly girl. No one will miss you." She doesn't know who gave it to her. Or any of the others before it. But she knows one thing: they're right. No one will miss her. Her mother is dead, her dad is more a theory than a parental figure, and her friends are the stick figures she draws in her notebooks. So, when someone she barely knows invites her to the school graduation party, there's no reason for her to go. A girl like her at a party like that? Eating a bowl of live spiders would be a better idea. And yet, she accepts. She goes. She doesn't know what she expects to find there. She doesn't even know why she said yes. Out of desperation? Because she thinks she'll somehow make friends? Prove, somehow, that the razor note is wrong? Whatever her reasons, what she finds is a surprise. And not the one she wants. She's given one more note. And what's written inside this one will make her face the truth she's been hiding from for seven years. And the truth about Madeline Parker will either fix her, and finally make her worthy of being loved, or it will prove that the note with the razors is right. Or both. -- Complete and professionally edited. Also on sale (www.lifelostandfound.com) where 150% of all sales go to charity, including the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

(Warning -- Do not read this book if you: look amazing all or most of the time, never worry about what people think of you, have more friends than Estonia has people, or are allergic to the word "shenanigans". Especially that last one, because it's used once or twice and you may experience a reaction. Also, you should probably see a doctor about that.

Controlled by Choices
There are but a variety of emotions that NANCY experiences throughout this journey. A few of those emotions would be love, jealousy, and regret while she discovers the world around her. She will have to do a lot to win the heart of her true love, the anxious James Finch. Even if it means resorting to violence. Even if it means ending a few lives. Will she ever have James wrapped around her finger, or will she discover some things that she shouldn't have? Sci-Fi Drama is a more accurate way to describe the story. I only am putting this on Wattpad because I don't know where else to keep track of every chapter separately or where to publish it. Also because haha funy website Yes, the mature theme is prevalent. This snippet wont be completely mature as of now since this is but a preview of my work. I won't release more things beyond the tip of the iceberg If there were an age rating for this the final product would probably be 16+ or more.Complete
