Lunar Virus ✔️
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!

The Evasion - Original Version
Blurb: Pooja My Life was simple. College, real-life friends, online friends, sports, other extra and co-curricular activities, a loving father and a scolding mother. Suddenly, one day, my life is flipped. There is a serial killer on my back, who has already killed my friend and a few other girls from my college. I can't let myself get killed. I need to escape...I have to survive. Cast: Sivaangi as Pooja Ashwin as Guru Get Ready to experience our Ashaangi in never-before-seen characters. Author's Note: The Evasion is a Psychological Thriller with a touch of romance. This is the original version of my book, which was drafted in May 2020 and published on 30 June 2020 under the same title on Amazon Kindle. Due to certain reasons, I scrapped the original version (removing the romantic part) and went with a different ending. The plot and the story are the same, just the storytelling and ending were different. While narrating the backstory of this book to a co-ashaangian, the idea of making the original version as an ashaangi fanfic popped into my mind. When I initially drafted this story last year, and when I read it with imaginary characters, it felt so normal. But after uploading it as a fanfic and reading it, imagining Ashaangi as the main lead, this book gave me a completely different vibe, and I was surprised by myself, how certain things synced in this story even before they met. Gemini AI generated the cover image, and the cover design (placement of title, series and author name) was done by me.Complete
