So many people have said things that have gone down in history as some of the best quotes of all time. There's the philosophical ones like "I think therefore I am." There's the ones that feature smart people making fun of not so smart people, like "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." -Albert Einstein. Something about certain phrases and words makes them quotable, whether it's their meaning or the person that says them. One young girl thinks that it's neither of those, but instead it's the reader's decision to listen and appreciate them. With that logic, anyone can say something quotable at any time, including her. As she begins to quote herself and people she's heard using spray paint across different cities, all of a sudden everyone wants to know who is behind the now famous words. All of a sudden, this anonymous girl from Nowhere, USA has the world's attention. She knows words are important only if people listen, but now that she has people listening, she has to decide what to do with this unexpected power. "Actions speak louder than words" is what someone quoted one time, but anyone who says anything worth listening to knows that isn't always true. There is a sample ready as the first part.

Static

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16
