Another night with the family…well, what’s left of it. There are only four of us now. Jonathan,
Charlotte, Krista and myself, Jamie. We’re unwanted. Well, that’s what our town
calls us. The unwanted. None of us remember our lives before this. Our parents?
Our friends? It’s all gone. There used to be a dozen foster kids living in the crummy two-storey house that they called home, but they were chosen. Adopted.
Every now and then, the postman would come to our house, call out a name and take them out of
town to somewhere better than here. Or, that’s what I hope for.
The postman is a kind man, but there’s something I don’t like about him. Of course, no one else sees it. They don’t tend to notice anything. The weather. Travellers that come through town. Every day seems to be another episode of déjà vu mixed with obliviousness. Strange, isn’t it?

the dark light
My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

RUNAWAY
"Catch me if you can" Matilda Colombo had been running her entire life, until it all came to a crashing ending. Being caught was not her thing, and everyone knew it, or so they thought that they did. Living in the unsafe outskirts of Los Angeles, which is known for making stars in Hollywood, lives Matilda Colombo. But none of this matters, when 6 brothers catch her stealing from a nearby stall. She knew, immediately, that they did not fit in, so she ran. She ran, thinking she had outsmarted them, but that all comes to an end, when she gets caught, and people start confessing to her. "You think you can run your whole life? Well, little sister, I've played your game before, and you can't outsmart the winner" But when things take an unexpected turn, can she runaway, when there is more people depending on her to be good, rather than bad? Does she understand that people are expecting her to throw her entire life away, what she has known for 16, almost 17 years, is about to vanish from her clutch and she has no idea how to explain that pretty dresses and high heels isn't something for her. "Yell and scream in my face, call me all the names you want, throw me out, but remember this, you can't change me. No one can change me. This is the person I am, and if you don't like it, let me know, and I'll walk out the door, right here, right now" These boys think they know everything about girls, having slept with half of New York, that they think a 16 year old girl, will be who they are after. They think winning people is the aim of the game. That people need to follow them, but what happens when someone sticks out, and won't commit to their plan? "You don't know me! You don't know a single thing about me and that doesn't bother you! You only care about yourself, and that's fine, but stop pretending to care about me" --------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 18.06.24 Finished:
Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.Kumpleto
Replaced and forgotten
My name is Laura and I'm the one kid in the back of the room. You know the kid no one knows exists. The one that's forgotten. I'm her. I'm forgotten by everyone and replaced by someone better. I'm smart but there's always someone smarter. I'm pretty but there's always someone who's prettier. I'm funny but there's always someone who's funnier. Always some who can replace me. Someone who can do the job better, faster, in a new way. Always. But maybe that'll change when I get a mate. Maybe I'll be remembered. Maybe I won't be replaced. But who knows. Maybe I was me to be this way. Replaced and forgotten.Kumpleto
