Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete

"More than anything, I tried to push away the fact that my power was beginning to dictate my decisions. It was stripping away my inhibitions and my fears, and as much as I dreaded to admit it - my morality." Miles Boswell and August Sylvan are two teenagers who find solace in each other from a society with which they can't connect. Their relationship is perfect -- except, that is, for the fact that Miles has just acquired mind control powers. He finds his morality tested on a daily basis as he struggles to resist his twisted sense of judgment, while at the same time questioning whether or not August truly likes him or is just being manipulated by his power. Will she accept him for who he truly is? Or will he do something so terrible that it will be too late to matter? NOTE: Each chapter starts with a song with lyrics that mirror the events of the chapter. I purposely chose songs that Miles or August would have listened to in 2001. If you're interested, look up the lyrics and listen to the song! I think it adds something a little special.Complete
Anomalous
{COMPLETED!!} Autumn is ordinary. Completely ordinary. She goes to school, gets yelled at by her mom, comes home, gets yelled at more; normal. One day, the chain of mundane breaks, when she comes home to find two teens with a pitch in her house. They invite her to live with them, where she can be happier. Autumn reluctantly agrees, but she still has mountains of questions. How do they know her name? Why have they come to her? And why do they all act so suspicious around her? These questions make Autumn realize that things aren't ordinary in her new home, either. Thanks to Leila, for proof-reading, brainstorming, and helping me with this book. She deserves much more than just having a character named after her. ((Inspired by Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children))Complete
