"Our clocks are our lives, they give us life and determine it. What I can't help but wonder, Mr. Collins, is why don't you have one?"

Mathew never got to know his parents well enough. How could he, when they died before he did?

Their time was up.

And when you live under a society that depends on each and every life clock, almost nothing is unpredictable.

 So their deaths were expected. 

What wasn't expected, to this highly organized society, however was Mathew's lack of a life clock of his own.



And isn't that interesting?

After months of peace from Liam, a strange man visits Maggie and claims he is her biological father. Maggie, excited to have a father again believes him and begins hanging out with him. One day her mother finds out about the strange man visiting her daughter and is worried about her safety. She tries everything to get rid of him, using the police; the people in charge of keeping the citizens safe. But after receiving a strange text, she enlists help of a private institution. The man keeps visiting Maggie over the years. And when Margaret turns sixteen their father gives them a gift that will change their life for the better. Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.

Destiny. It was a funny thing. I had always thought that I could create my own destiny. But after attending my junior year at Nox Haven, I knew that wasn't possible. My destiny was written two hundred years before my birth, when my ancestor- The Dark Warlock- created a cult of Dark Ones. It was my destiny to rid the world of his mistake- but I didn't know how. That was the funny part, I knew what I had to do but I didn't know how. Nobody wrote that part of the prophecy. I would figure it out though, two of my beloved friends were dead because the Dark Ones. I swore on their graves that no one else would follow. **Book Three in the Nox Haven Series**

This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice. I'm so grateful!
Life After Death And The Heavens Beyond Model by YousufTahirAli

My work is published under category "Physics and Astronomy" by "Lambert Academic Publishers", but its for the general population as well to read! My work is purely scientific and is based on facts. It is, in short, a sequel to the books of Stephen Hawking namely "A brief History of time" and "Black Holes And Baby Universes", and also a sequel to Albert Einstein's "theory of relativity". It offers a new understanding of time, a way never taken before. It is a piece of literature that combines various pieces of literatures on a single platform, for instance, it brings the "spiritual, islamic, physics, biology, information technology, and scientific reasoning" literatures on a single platform. This is some extraordinary work and it took me two years to complete the thinking and finally give it a written shape. Since this piece of work brings various pieces of literature on a single platform, a lot of literatures can intermingle on a single platform for the first time! See! This is a noble extraordinary work in literature. It might even win the "noble prize in literature"! I feel that this is going to have a lot of sales as well and since its extremely short (around 14,000 words and in 42 pages only) and mentions to the point theories and science, the people will eventually love it! Its written in extremely simple language so that the people may understand with ease. NOTE:- My book will be launched in 2 weeks. So I wish to send the pdf copy of my book. The book is attached with this mail. I just want a honest review, be it good or be it bad. :D

A mundane life that never changed. Living to simply live. That's how things always are. He lives without an identity as Grim said. But what exactly does it mean to have an identity then? Not to mention that his own family and even people he hasn't met are trying to speak to him. Something that has never happened in his life. He is unaware of those who aim for a second chance. A chance to undo everything they had done.

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)
