Left distraught in the wake of his father's death, cynical and reserved college student Quinn Parish has always been a distrustful outcast disconnected with the world around him. Subsequently wrecking his car into a tree one day after visiting his estranged mother, he awakens in a hospital with no injuries to find that he has somehow developed an ability to read and influence the thoughts and minds of others.

Accompanied by his charismatic psychology professor, Simon Newton, who can also read minds, his next door neighbor, Ellie Harting, who can heal injuries with a single touch, and Christopher Page, a wheelchair-bound student and fellow acquaintance, Quinn will seek to lift the veil on the existence of people gifted with abilities, pursue the mystery behind his father's murder, and fight for his life against others like him, all while uncovering scattered remnants of a deeper connection to his early life.All Rights Reserved

Roman by dantesdead

#1 in boyfriend (um what? Am I dreaming?) "Oh kid," he laughs and walks closer to me. He doesn't get close enough to stand between my legs, but his thighs still brush my shins. "Maybe you'll be able to pay better attention if you get used to this," he says, casting a small glance down to his exposed torso. I doubt it. Roman is Sadie's childhood crush. And the brother of her best friend, Naomi. For years she has hidden her feeling for him because you just aren't allowed to be in love with your best friend's brother. When they all come home for Thanksgiving break, Sadie and Naomi are transported back to their high school years of sleepovers, blanket forts, and exchanging secrets. But for Sadie, this means hiding her feelings for Naomi's brother just like she had for all of high school, but now that she's older and more mature, will her affections for him dissipate, or will she realize that there was no way she could ever hide her feelings from him or her best friend?

Mind Wave by elvidoray

I stand outside my home broken and shattered, who I am I don't know. I stare at my ever pale hands and try to see what made me like this from under my skin, but I guess I wasn't given that kind of gift but I have in me some form of powers that seemed to have brought me misfortune. I owe this all to my dad because if he never met my mom maybe just maybe I would have been born normal. I wish I wasn't born a freak, born a hybrid.
