A perfect world for Amelie has twisted into her own personal hell. July 27th -- the day that should have been her happiest -- has become a prison she can't escape. No matter how closely she follows the script, no matter how carefully she plays her role, the story resets, dragging her back to the beginning. Now Amelie is haunted by two questions: How long can she survive when fate itself toys with her? And can she ever break free from the curse that binds her to this endless loop? *** Amelie was supposed to be the Female Lead. The story should have been hers - romance, friendship, a perfect future written in her favor. But when the world around her begins to rot into chaos, when her classmates turn into shadows with blood in their eyes, Amelie realizes the script is broken. The Male Lead she was meant to protect slips further from her grasp, and the story she thought she belonged to twists into something unrecognizable. And then it happens. A stranger steps out from the faceless crowd - an "extra" she was never meant to notice. Someone who shouldn't exist suddenly reaches for her hand. Hope comes at a cost. Every death writes her deeper into the crimson loop. And Amelie can't help but ask: ❝If I was written to be the heroine... then why does it feel like I'm not the main character anymore?❞ *** This is a work of fiction. The cover's from Pinterest.

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
