"When we are of the age of six, we take a test to know the exact time we will die. We don't know how we'll die, but we will know the age we'll be, the day it will happen, and even down to the last second it will happen.
"I am sixteen, and I have thirty days left to live."
One-Shot. I plan on turning this into an actual story though. This is just what I plan on writing summed up into a one-shot.

In Between Seasons
In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems. I was born into this world. Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General- a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me. We were told to just believe. We were taught to never question. We're supposed to be robots and accept our roles in this altered society. Too bad Hunter and I don't follow the rules. And we're a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible. They've been searching for the world's deadliest weapon. It's me. And I'm not following the leader any more.Complete

The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]
Living in a world where everyone has expiration dates on their arms telling them when they will die...sounds like a fun place to live in, right? Wrong it's the worst, always knowing when you'll die, but this is how they still stay in power the Ministry. The Ministry even gives powers to the people so they'll stay on their side, and stay in Enchanville. I'm Isa who've been living in a foster home for most of my life. I never thought my life could get any more exciting until the day I got my powers. There was a prophesy or so I've heard, about this person who will finally beat the Ministry. I knew I would never live to see that day, but that doesn't mean I don't have hope that it will happen.... Then my life took an unexpected turn that turned my life upside down...or right side up. *This is the first book I have ever written so the grammar and the punctuation isn't the best, but it gets better throughout the book :-) * Started February 5, 2016Complete

Terraria: Another Day Under the Glass
'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.Complete
