Many years ago, far before the beginning of time itself, a prophecy was written. One Gift to save them all, along with all of humanity, all that existed. In the year 3522, the Prophet arises. Nobody is aware of the strength of the Prophet, or whether or not they'll be able to live up to their destiny.
The Prophet is their only hope. If they lose the Prophet, they lose the existence of everything.
We set our story in the [fictional] town of Eastfield, Oregon. It was a big switch from living in the state of Minnesota for Capricorn. The year is 3522, very far ahead of our time.
Fifteen-year-old Capricorn Astrum (yes, like the astrological sign) is having some trouble adjusting to his new school.
The thing is, everyone around him is different.
Everyone knows what their "Aptitude" is. Their "Flair," a special ability they are born with that they must discover and learn to control. Capricorn has no idea why he was placed with these kids. He was the most ordinary person he knew.
But everything was about to change, and nothing was going to ever be the same.

The Altered.
guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Pluto&Mars
PROLOGUE: There was a man sitting at home, fiddling with his pencil, trying his best to do his job. This man sat back and sighed. He was famished and in an empty house. He was about to move. Boxes littered the hallway. He had gotten a new job in another state and knew it would be better for him and for those around him. On his last deadline, he knew not what to think about, let alone the blank blueprints he was meant to fill in. He preoccupied his time with thoughts of the past, romance, and grief. He thought of the man he'd loved. The man he still loved. He thought of the house he dreamt of having with him. He considered what would make it special for them. He pictured them dancing in their living room. Then, he started to sketch his dreams, thinking of the story that would change his entire life. He attempted the home he wanted, and yet it wasn't perfect. It never was. Not for them, no. He stared at the blueprints for a long while before amending it to the customer's liking. That was his trick. This time; however, it was different. He started to remember their entire time together with simultaneous happiness and sadness. This man's name was Pluto. He was known as such since elementary, and it was, for such a long time, matching with one other. Mars. Pluto and Mars. This, now, was a distant memory. One of love and loss. This is the tale of two kids, two friends, and two lovers. Pluto and Mars.Complete
