In the captivating novel "Athazagoraphobia," journey into the intricate world of Isabelle Lindroos, a woman who grapples with a haunting fear: forgetting and being forgotten. Set against the backdrop of the post-Great War American South, this poignant tale follows Isabelle's unwavering determination to preserve every precious moment of her life.
Isabelle's life is a tapestry woven with the threads of her pursuits to thrive. A skilled surgeon and mortician, she pours her emotions into her work and puts forth effort to keep her name in even the smallest of history books. However, beneath her good-faith endeavors lies a clandestine partnership with her closest confidante since childhood, Vincent Kelly. As an attorney on the North Carolina state bar and dedicated father, Vincent's professional family man facade conceals a hidden life as a political butcher alongside Isabelle -- killing statesmen and getting their wives or children convicted.
Together, Isabelle and Vincent navigate the complex dance of duality, crafting a life filled with intrigue and purpose. After their paths intertwine as children in 1908, they confront moral dilemmas and unexpected challenges, forging an unbreakable bond rooted in shared secrets. Isabelle's meticulous documentation becomes more than a coping mechanism - it transforms into a testament to their extraordinary existence.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn.

Aah-s-stop, let go!" I cried, tears stinging my eyes. His eyes flicked down to my bare skin, a dark smirk tugging at his lips. "n-no stop" I cried "you shouldn't have disobeyed sweetheart" He pulled down my underwear as I screamed. Humiliation washed over me as i cried my eyes out. My vision blurred by my tears "N-no p-please s-stop this" He bend down next to my ear "Look at you, trembling like a good girl" "s-stop this p-please". I begged only to hear his chuckle.

{The Firelight Chronicles} 6: SE7EN, The Sunflower Effect (girlxgirl) Lesbian
Disclaimer: I wrote this novel before the movie Lucy came out it is in no way related but the premise of the brain and the powers eerily similar It is the year 2173. Human beings have evolved to use more than 10% of their brain, and as an effect, possess supernatural powers. Luna and Lara Valkyrie grew up in a foster home in the town of Westhaven, California. Both 18 and having been born on the same day, they were raised as twins, Luna adopting Lara's surname because of her own being unknown. Westhaven is a lovely town, the perfect place to live the american dream in. There is only one problem. Not only there, but in almost every place in the world, human beings are branded with a number, that being the amount of supernatural abilities they possess. By the time each child reaches the age of 18, that number becomes permanent, and everyone with a ranking above 5 is taken away. From that moment on, they belong to the government, and must train in government facilities that are a lot like prisons or army bases. Their eyes are changed by machines, and they are identified for the bright aura-like color that surrounds their pupils and contrasts against their natural eye color, "the sunflower effect". The day of the chosen has come, and Luna Valkyrie is a seven. When she is taken by government guards, she believes her life is over. That is, until she meets Alexandra Pertierra, a brazen 23 year old with a rank of eleven who turns her world upside down with a cocky smirk. *An aftermath to Wicked Intentions*Complete

Crimson Loop
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.
