The world is a dark and scary place, full of psychopaths that feel compulsion to commit heinous acts and feel no guilt afterwards. But what if there was a way to feed these compulsions without having anyone die? Meet Dr. Clowd, a renowned Memory Therapist. She has made it her purpose to prevent such travesties from ever occurring by treating those classified as "pre-criminals", specifically deterring predicted murderers. The concept is simple: provide a memory of a killing for the urge to be sated. It will save lives. But the reality is not so simple. Dr. Clowd is thrown into an investigation, after sharing the memory of a young girl's murder with multiple pre-criminals, making the investigation that much harder for the lead detective. The only catch, it's her own memory she's sharing. Can Dr. Clowd help solve the investigation while keeping her dark side a secret?

(Completed) "'Do you remember that night? Do you remember that night, Landon?'" The Streepers die instantly from a fatal car accident along with their son hours later in the hospital, or so he thinks. Landon amazingly pulls through, but with long term traumatization and hallucinations. Everything seems to be getting back to normal at Seattle P.D. until certain pedestrians are being killed in a similar fashion to Landon's parents' deaths. The only evidence is a note the sick minded serial killer leaves in blood after every crime scene. On each one is a single letter beginning to spell out a name. How far will Landon as a detective go before this criminal mastermind covering his tracks drives him further into insanity? How long will his best friends Oliver and Jen stay by his side? Or will they find themselves turning away? There is a connection between each victim, but is there a bigger picture at large that Landon's mind wants him desperately to believe? TCB is a fast paced thriller novel (and has some humorous elements) that you figure out as you go. It is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation the whole time. (Contains some strong language and acts of violence)

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

Heartbeat (GirlxGirl) lesbian by YurikoHime

I felt a longing to trail my hands on her body. To explore and know the vampire that managed to steal my heart. I inched closer, every single cell of my body hyper aware of her nearness. The music picked up its rhythm, and we swayed with each other, a dance of seduction that slowly but surely consumed my mind. My eyes automatically went to her lips, frozen in a half-smile, tempting, coaxing me to kiss her. In this moment, my sickness, my parents and siblings, every thought seemed to vanish, except her and me. Sweat trickled down my back. I leaned nearer, nearer, feeling her breath on my face. I opened my mouth, ready to taste the forbidden fruit in front of me.

A Strange Affliction - Besotted Hero by MovingOn458

Tags: Fantasy, Romance, Besotted, Happy Ending, Couple, Marriage, Mystery, Cute, Sheltered When I was born, something happened to me. I didn't realize there was something strange until I turned sixteen and I started to have visions. The first time it happened I was at school paying attention to a lesson and it suddenly seemed like a little number popped out of nowhere beside the head of a boy I secretly fancied. I stared at that number very puzzled and shocked and looked around the class wondering if someone was using a specific laser that made the numbers appear in that strange fashion beside his head. But no one was looking in his direction and he continued to talk normally to a boy seated beside him, like nothing was the matter. The number was bright yellow and stayed seated in his right ear direction, looking shining and visible and it didn't go away, even after I rubbed my eyes desperately trying to make it go away. It was a number 4 and it was the first time I had the vision that would accompany me for longer than I would have wished. The next day, the numbers multiplied and now they were everywhere, showing themselves next to different men and I didn't know what to do or what to think of such a strange apparition.
