So that was the deciding factor. It became my inspiration, my reason for resorting to such seclusion. I had always needed my own space for working, which is why even when I worked in the hospital I never allowed for a nurse or doctor or any other person to be in room, except me and the patient. I am unable to perform my work with prying eyes staring me down and questioning me, questioning my methods and maybe even questioning my humanity.
Thus, when she stopped living here by my side, I took that as my cue to quit working in the hospital.
----
Dr. Roy Andrews, a highly credible neurosurgeon has a knack for solving cases of comatose. His methods, however, are questionable. And highly unorthodox. He enters the patient's minds.
Despite that factor, he has never once messed up a case. He has never once lost somebody.
However, when patient Kester Montgomery arrives under his care, the circumstances of his case baffle Dr. Andrews, leading to the possibility of a detrimental outcome. As Andrews ventures through the depths of Kester's mind, he finds out what working on a case of mental instability is like.

I've Become Like Him
"Ahhh!!!" The man's body falls to the floor limp and I fall to the floor out of terror, "Why are you screaming? I saved you from being raped." I look at the man who is holding a gun with a little smile on his face. He holds the gun up to my head and I start crying, "P-Please, p-please don't do this. I-I won't tell anybody." He bends down and I whimper, "I don't think I can let you go. What happened you run and tell in the next three days? You've already seen my face and heard my voice." I shake my head, "I swear I won't tell anybody! I-I don't know anybody!" He looks at me up and down, "I'll give you two choices. I kill you now or you come with me. You can keep me entertained for a while." €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ Lyric Dime is a twenty-one year old loner who works in a top tier casino.

Sincerely, Aurora [completed]
Back in 2015 there was an accident that rocked Aurora Brahm's world. No, it wasn't a skydiving accident like she always joked she would die from. It wasn't from swimming with stingrays or sharks. It wasn't from jumping off a cliff with her husband, Jude. It was a lapse in concentration and incoming traffic. It took her world. Jude has been in a coma ever since, and the doctors have very little hope that he will recover from his vegetative state. But Aurora won't give up. This is the fight for Jude Brahm. ~ ~ ~ "The most bizarre mix of emotions twisting my stomach. Seriously, this book is amazing. I have never, and I read A LOT so I mean NEVER, read something that made me so happy and excited yet sad and completely devastated at the same time. . ." - Michelle from @KaraMichelleBooks , coauthor of Breeder Nation "This is so emotional and, at the same time, very cute! I'm in love with your story." - @amethystnebula "I am seriously in love with your story. It's probably one of the sweetest I've read in a long time. And the idea is ingenious!" - @QuixoticHearts "I love this story! The time jumps work because of the letter/journal format, and the memories/scenes you've picked to show are perfect, like the highlights of what made their relationship what it was. I absolutely love their relationship and you have created these characters so vividly." - @CCrawfordWriting gorgeous cover by @pasteldevil- ^-^Complete
Intertwining
Elliott was like most boys. He has bright yellow hair, with even brighter green eyes. He has two arms. A head. A heart. But he learned early on just how crushing the world can be to you.

What happens when he's shipped off to yet another Boys Home.

Xenoman
Xeno yearns to have access to The Nth Dimension like The White Boys, famed telepaths who suffered brain damage when they made contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Out of work as a bartender since the Shoki Pao dance club mysteriously burned down, Xeno's lackluster lifestyle is getting harder to maintain. The public pill silos that dispense Sunlite, a one-size-fits-all mood elevating drug, haven't been refilled in months, so the citizens of Metropa turn to designer drugs like Black Magic, an addictive knock-off with terrible side effects. Having survived an overdose of Black Magic, and successfully revived by Drinama, a brain implant slipped to him as a Mickey at a job fair, Xeno earns an entry level position as an agent for secret service organization Intellegella. Garry, his handler, introduces Xeno to the industrial version of the black box, allowing Xeno's pineal gland access to synthetic sensory perception with the turn of a dial, along with the Noumenol patch, a skin absorbed drug that stabilizes his vital signs so that he doesn't suffer a cardiac arrest. Xeno's initial mission is to test the black box on the field, under Garry's watchful eye, and to locate Trianne, an ex co-worker, ex model, ex pole dancer for the Shoki Pao, gone missing and showing signs of spontaneous human combustion, an emerging side effect of Black Magic, and a public safety hazard. All he has to do is bring Trianne back to Intellegella for treatment. It's that simple . . . according to Garry.Complete
