In Milan, Italy, Zachary Foreman wakes up in a psychiatric ward from a coma and has been told that he has generalized dissociative amnesia. Meaning Zach can't seem to remember who he is and has no recollection of his memories but has the feeling that he's being watched in the ward by someone who does. As the days fly by, rumors of a notorious slasher couple who had been silent for years and never caught have started to be active once again and are around the area where Zach's residing. The police visit the ward and ask questions, having suspicions that this is all Zach's fault due to some injustice he must've committed against them that has caught the couple's attention to strike. But how can he be guilty if he has no memory of who he is or what he has done? Unless maybe he's not so innocent after all.

The Shadow Prospect {ONC}
For all obvious reasons to his story, Cato should be dead. By some miracle, he's not. Somehow surviving a brutal attack, he wakes up instead to the insistent beeping of hospital equipment, to be told he's the only suspect for the same murder case he was rescued from, found clutching the bloody weapon in one hand with absolutely no clue of how it got there and no evidence to point elsewhere. And the biggest problem? He has no memory of that night. The murder wiped clean, just as bare as the evidence of the case, making it impossible to know the truth. But as his journey to finding the truth continues he can't ignore the growing nagging in his gut that there's more to this. Something else was there that night. Someone. And, by God, he was going to find out who (or what) was in that alley with him- Even if it kills him. {ONC ROUND 1 AND 2 QUALIFIER!!}Complete

Zeke, a reporter with schizo-affective paranoia, gets caught up in a vamp-motivated murder. Zeke's best work is drafted during "medicinal vacations," where he uses his condition to aid his writing process, short term memory be damned.

His there-again, gone-again friend August isn't much help, either. Zeke wonders why police don't follow the vamp-attack angle, considering Carter's wounds. The politically-correct vamp culture has rendered him unsympathetic. As the evidence mounts against him, Zeke struggles to use his journalistic skills in an effort to save himself. He discovers everyone else's secrets, including those of his parents and cousin Raffi, somehow intertwine with the investigation. Slowly, Zeke becomes his own worst enemy. *2018 Wattys Short List* *2024 On the Wattpad Action reading list! *On the Wattpad Stars "Star-Powered Thrillers" list!* *On the AntiHeroes Galore "Method in Madness" list!*Complete
