After wars and revolutions set our world back, an industrial golden age returns hundreds of years in the future, holding on to remnants of former technology, but adapting to the new ways of life. Looming over the deserts of a once-bustling world are sky cities, held in the heavens by an array of monstrous turbines and tethered to the earth by dozens of metallic arms. The ground cities that dwell beneath are tarnished by harsh elements and oppressive monotony, where too many are stuck in their unfortunate circumstances. They live harsh lives of farming and production, doing whatever it takes to improve their circumstances.

Weathered by the brutal life on the ground, a mercenary frequents between the hemispheres. All she wants is to rise above her station and escape the harsh conditions that mark her life. She unwillingly stumbles upon a job from a mysterious governing official that thrusts her towards harrowing encounters, startling secrets, and a captivating person that turns her world upside down.

40 Kapitel Abgeschlossene Geschichte
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

To crave safety was one thing. To sleep with a monster to get it? That was something else entirely. ____________________ The bar. Her best friend. The need to forget her ex. That's all Maebelle Taylor was signing up for one Thursday night in college. The icing on the cake was the tall and handsome one-night-stand she managed to fall into bed with, and she was able to achieve what she set out to do: Forget. However, things don't go as planned when said one-night-stand saunters back into her life. Not only is he as handsome as he was during their night of fun, but he seems to be a completely different person than Maebelle remembers. He's dangerous, brooding, vicious, and far from the man she thought she had first met. And he wants absolutely nothing more to do with her. What seems like fate is what tosses them together. What seems like karma is what can't keep them apart. Mr. tall and handsome lives a life far from the safe haven Mae so desperately craves to have, but after stumbling upon something she shouldn't have seen? Mr. tall and handsome isn't so keen to let her go. ____________________ t r o p e s: Grumpy x sunshine Mature themes Criminal/Gang-related content ____________________ D I S C L A I M E R: this story has been re-edited and republished. the events of this story , for those who have read it prior to February 2023 , have been slightly altered to make way for my improved and matured writing style (as well as to fix plot inconsistencies). originally published : june 2017 newly published : february 2023 ____________________ Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. The normal, everyday life in the Lower City. Whistles to signal when to wake, when to take a break, and when to sleep. Mira works in the pipeline, her small and slim physique making it an ideal job to do, especially to pay back the man that saved her life; Jerard. Two years ago, Mira was found dirty, bloody, and with no memory of who she was, wondering the back streets of the Lower city. Working in the pipeline was the only job that kept her from curious eyes, especially since she didn't have a Lower ID tag. An offence punishable by death. Life was hard, but it was simple. Easy. Her adventures with her only friend, Krane, passed the small moments between working, however Mira felt like something was missing. And when a young man shows up from the plush City above, trouble is stirred in all the wrong places, turning the small life Mira had upside down. With her friend & family's life on the line, Mira must dig deep to unlock her missing memories if any of them are to get out alive.
