At just fifteen, Elio Deren was cast onto the streets, blamed for a crime she didn't commit-the murder of her own sister. The real culprit? Her younger brother. Betrayed and abandoned, Elio's life spiraled into darkness after a destined encounter left her scarred forever. Forced to survive at any cost, she lost touch with her humanity, becoming a person that would do anything to survive in this hell filled world.

Five years later, she decided to take a leap of faith. YUI-an organization built from the ground up-was meant to be a haven for misfits like her. But it became something far greater. It birthed the Identity Changer, the most revolutionary device in existence. With it, Elio erased herself and stepped into a new life, disguising herself as a man, determined to leave her past behind completely.

But the past doesn't let go so easily.

When an unexpected figure from her history resurfaces, Elio's carefully crafted illusion begins to crack. With enemies closing in and secrets unraveling, she must ask herself: Can she outplay the game of deception, or will her mask slip-exposing the truth she's fought so hard to bury?

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

Even though they had always fought for something different, he never could have imagined just how far they would drift apart. There was no way he could ever be prepared for what he was about to do to her though. What he did was unthinkable, impossible even. He spent every day by her side after he saved her life, tending to her injuries during her coma, while dealing with the guilt of it all being his, and only his fault. Desperately, he tries to find forgiveness and reconnect with his best friend and crush, but her betrayal burns Fire Red. ----------------- Written for CRW Introduction to Short Story Writing at Flagler College in September 2022, Final revision in December 2022 ----------------- Status: Completed © _elixxir
