A birthday wish and a place where the past is very much present.

Luke Hudson never had a normal childhood; raised by his Grandparents, he has never known his mother and barely has contact with his dad; but when he blows out the candles on his 21st birthday cake, the last thing Luke expects is for his wish to know his parents better to come true. In the blink of an eye he finds himself back in 1990, back in a time when he was barely a year old and his parents are both very much around.

Struggling to come to terms with what’s going on, Luke discovers that he has been given a rare chance to alter his future for the better. But what Luke considers better and what is actually changeable aren’t always one and the same. Battling his own anger at the same time as trying to get close to his parents, Luke is shocked to discover that he is not alone and that the fate of several people he cares about is intertwined in a way he never thought possible. What ensues is a race against time and his own feelings in a time where futures are fulfilled and broken as easily as hearts.

Furthermore, every major change comes with a sacrifice. What will Luke’s be? And will he be willing to make it when he learns the truth of what happened back in 1990?

When I shut the door behind me I realized that no cars were driving out here either. They were all empty and abandoned. As I strolled by there were no people talking in the coffee shop windows. There were no people eating in restaurants. There were no sounds except my heavy breathing and the howling wind. "HELLOOOOOOOO" I shouted, "IS ANYONE HEREEEEE HELLOOOOO!!?" I continued to call out to no one in particular feeling a little agitated by the growing silence. That's when I heard it... The winds howling came to a stop. The world seemed to stop turning. Time itself came to a halt. Leaves caught in the breeze and remained motionless. That was until the wind came calling back to me, and in this it whispered one word that answered all my questions...

HIGHEST RANKING: 303 IN SCIENCE FICTION Isaac Crowley is your average 15 year old boy. He is a sophomore in high school, plays sports, and hangs out with his friends. Everything in his life is in control, and he knows that he has a bright future ahead. Then the dreams start happening. His best friend Lucy gets hit by a car. He dreams it, and then, it happens again two days later. He tells his parents, his friends, anyone that he can, but they all think that it's just a coincidence. These dreams begin to happen regularly, and the mounting suspense drives Isaac crazy as he tries to diffuse the situation inside his dreams, find someone that he can trust, and prove to his parents that something's wrong. But he spirals further and further down the rabbit hole, and creates a web of lies. NOTE: Well, I just published the story, and It's on Amazon, with this link: http://www.amazon.com/Lucid-Ari-Liam-Lohr/dp/069260765X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452182800&sr=8-1&keywords=Ari+Lohr This story will probably become just a preview, so I can sell the book. Anyways, thanks for all of your support, guys! I really appreciate it. Once again, thanks for supporting me in the whole process of this book so far. You guys are the reason that I do this. ANOTHER NOTE: Readers, this book's name has changed to "Lucid." I thought that it was more fitting of a name. What do you think? THIRD NOTE: If a chapter is marked "Revised," then I am completely done with it and will probably not update it again.

He was silent. He didn't like talking. Being abused could do that to a person. And having a lisp and a stutter didn't help. He hadn't said a word in so long, but no one cared. Everything was better in a world where he didn't talk. He probably could've lived like this until the day he finally decided to kill himself. Until he meets three people who decide to change that... *This is a Trigger Warning to be placed on most chapters. Please do not read if you think you may be affected/hurt by anything tagged.
