Blossom: Flawed Humans Vol. 1
Evolution has taken a shift in the human genome; instead of people walking around like normal humans, everyone is born with the ability to gain extraordinary powers once they reach a certain age in their lives. The age at which they gain these abilities determines the strength of these powers, with those gaining them at the earliest stage of life being called "Bloomers," and people who either do not have them yet or awaken them later on in life being called "Late Bloomers." Society has found a way to work around this evolution, but it functions somewhat differently from our own. With slight differences as the America east coast joined together into one "superstate,". The story follows Sasha McCrory, a late bloomer from the more rural part of what was once Virginia, in her senior year at one of the most violent high schools in the country. We follow her and her friends as they navigate through their final year at the notorious Blackwell High School. At the same time, we dive into their mental struggles, find out about the strange semi-dystopia they live in, and dive into themes such as rediscovering optimism from a pessimistic mindset and rehabilitation.
The New Generation
"Our entire lives led us to this moment, only for us to lose in the end. We aren't a team, a family, we never were. We are just a bunch of puzzle pieces that were forced together but don't really fit." When it was all said and done, they all agreed, they were never meant to win. They watched as the world around them burned, a world they fought so hard to protect. In the distance, a tall figure stood with pride watching his chaos morph into victory, there was nothing left for him to do but watch his enemies perish in the flames. . . ---------- It's the fight they have all waited for their entire lives. The New Generation is ready to defend their family, their friends, and their world from Itri who will all but destroy it if he gets the chance. They know their parent's stories were the start of a battle, but they are here to win the war, as one, as a team. They are meant to work together to defeat their enemy. Ten people united by the most unlikely circumstances, five daughters whose futures are predetermined, and only one chance to make things right. It won't be easy, they must make allies, face new enemies, rely on one another and try not to die in the process, but when new truths come to light, a divide is placed between them as their trust for each other falls apart. Friends become enemies, one team becomes two sides and their enemy only gets stronger in the process. Once upon a time, they thought they can do anything together, but how do you change a future that has already been seen? How can you rely on someone you no longer trust? How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself? You can't hope to win if you're already destined to lose. . . but then again, you can't win at all unless hope is present and that's what matters most. ********** An Aeterian Story- Final BookComplete
