Forgetting is dangerous. Remembering is deadly.

Elias: the man sitting handcuffed in an interrogation room deep in a secret underground facility. On the surface, he looks harmless. But his mind is a weapon-he can erase memories with a thought.

Kirill: the man on the other side of the interrogation table. He has a weapon of his own-he can see inside other people's memories. All he has to do is make them feel a strong enough emotion, and their minds are his. And no emotion works quite as well as fear.

Elias has worked for decades to save the Enhanced-people born with superhuman abilities-from being abducted and forced into black-ops work. Now his captors want the names of everyone who has ever helped him. If Kirill's methods of persuasion don't work, he'll simply use Elias's fear to slip into his mind and plunder his memories.

But he may get more than he bargained for.

Decades ago, Elias erased a set of memories that tie the two of them together in a way neither of them suspects. And those memories are about to come to light.

Obscure is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 65,000 words long, or about 200 pages.

The Unlocked Door by kara_fd
21 parts Complete Mature
"I told myself it was just a crush. Then I forgot to lock the bathroom door, and he caught me with my hand between my legs, whispering his name." Emerson has the perfect distraction for her chaotic life: Friday night movie marathons at her best friend Chloe's house. Everything is safe. Everything is normal. Except for the low, dangerous hum of Elias Thorne, Chloe's reserved, salt-and-pepper gorgeous father, the man who smells like black coffee and forbidden desire. He's forty-something, untouchable, and utterly off-limits. She's eighteen, reckless, and obsessed with the casual authority in his eyes. One night, driven by a humiliating rush of forbidden impulse, Em slips into the bathroom. She's supposed to pee and leave. Instead, she's sitting on the edge of the tub, letting her mind run wild with the memory of his broad shoulders and his dark, penetrating gaze. She's breathless, trembling, and utterly lost in a private, guilty moment. Then, the click. She forgot the lock. Elias Thorne is standing in the doorway. He sees everything-the shock on her face, the shame, and the raw, undeniable need. In the searing, electric silence, he doesn't yell. He doesn't slam the door. He just stands there, his throat tightening, as Emerson's body betrays her with a whispered moan of climax. Now, the world hasn't ended, but it's changed. The shame is crushing, but the thrill is addictive. In the quiet exchanges across the living room, they share a scorching secret that Chloe can't see. He remembers exactly what he saw. And Em knows the final, dangerous truth: She wanted him to catch her... and now they both have to live with the consequences. A slow-burn, agonizingly tense story about forbidden obsession, power dynamics, and the danger of an unlocked door.

Elias Thorne has spent his life adrift, a childhood of constant movement leaving him with a unique and unsettling clarity of the world. His senses are preternaturally sharp, picking up on the subtle hum of the world that others miss. But it's not just his physical senses; he has a fleeting and inexplicable ability to know what someone is going to say or do before they do it, a hunch that is unsettlingly correct. Now, as an adult, he's settled in the quiet town of Clover Creek. But the peace is shattered when a pulsating, otherworldly light appears on the local highway. The townsfolk dismiss it as a strange accident or electrical anomaly , but Elias's senses tell him otherwise. Under the influence of a specific substance, he unlocks his full potential, a form of perception he calls the "Veridian Sight". With his eyes closed, he sees the object not as a light, but as a complex machine of intricate energy fields and unknown purpose. Elias's pleas to a skeptical Sheriff Brody are dismissed, leaving him to uncover the truth on his own. The mysterious object is doing something to his town, subtly drawing energy from the ground. With the fate of Clover Creek hanging in the balance, Elias must now confront the unbelievable truth behind the light. What will Elias do to save his town, and what is the true purpose of the otherworldly light? Read Veridian Sight - VOL.1 ; The Product of Evolution to find out.
