In Her Head
Something old. Something new. Something borrowed... something blue. Zeke didn't sign up for superpowers, let alone to become the government's next Supersoldier. But when a clinical trial at Nova Pharmaceuticals turns violent, Zeke finds himself caught between a dead girl's last breath and a jealous enforcer with a god complex. Ground Zero changes everything, triggering a daisy-chain of butterflies. Trapped inside the mind of a stranger - a sweet, ambitious med student named Cleo, Zeke is forced to navigate a dying city, a collapsing identity, and an army of enemies, all while hiding in a body that's not his. Cleo doesn't know what's worse: the voice in her head, or the fact that she's starting to trust it. Jack, Nova's golden boy, wants Zeke erased. Mr. E, a psychic in a wheelchair, wants him hidden. And someone else- someone terrifying, is hunting Cleo for what's now inside her. You thought the psychic bond meant love. Instead, it's a prison. Power is a parasite. And in this story? The body is the battlefield. TW: This story can be intense. Includes themes of: self harm, PTSD, dissociation, body horror, attempted sexual assault, torture, cult themes and human trafficking.
