The clocks are everything. 

The clocks are life itself. 

Embedded in your left arm they tick and tick and tick. 

Ceaselessly. 

Endlessly. 

Without stop. 

And most of us are happy for it, happy for the countdown that will make our lives meaningful. Because in Cyndra everyone has a clock. A clock that starts counting down the moment you are born and doesn't hit zero until you meet your soulmate for the very first time. Because in Cyndra, everyone has a preordained soulmate. In Cyndra everyone has a happy ending. 

Except me. 

I was born with a clock that had already run out.

Touch: Awakening by AmandaKByrne

The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)

Headspace (Book 1) ✓ by onawishingstar

6x featured | When his crush kills herself in front of him, Diego ends up back in time in order to confess his love for her. A second chance, a possibility to start their love story all over again. But will he be able to save her from the clutches of death this time? --- They were always meant to be like the X and Y axis of a graph that intersected only at one point, the origin. Their destiny was written - together for one moment and never supposed to meet again. But who knew, the Y axis would get so adamant and try to coincide itself with the X axis for togetherness till infinity, that he wouldn't even realize how this would put all other lines out of place and make the graph paper nothing but a green checkered page with scattered, meaningless lines?

Soulmate by KathrynCunningham96

Life was a confusing, stupid concept. We live to meet our soulmates; our timers tick tick tick, we meet our soulmates, we entertain ourselves, and then we die. That's all there is to it. Was I here for something bigger? Well, I sure hoped so, but I didn't know what that would be, and I doubted my soulmate would show me. He would be there to entertain me, but he couldn't be my whole life.

Escape by lilblue19

Have you ever stopped to sit and watch the world pass by; wondering what would happen if we had no time, no clock, nothing to keep track, or have you ever sat down and listen to music drowning out all unwanted problems you refuse to pay attention to. As you sit you begin to realize every second has its new beginnings. Time is something money can't buy, but it is also something you can't place on fast forward or rewind. Every beat of life counts just have to listen to the melody to live it happily. A young teenage girl is living an unwanted life every hour has a memory running straight through and every tick tock and replay cuts into her past. "Turn the music up, real loud. As the lyrics fill my head, a hundred memories run wild, lyrics intertwining with my thoughts. Change of attitude, cant be disturbed. Words flow like tears, all eyes on me. Every one is an onlooker, keep watching you don't want to miss this." Here is her story.

$||Say yes...please?|| {Unedited} by _autumngirl_$

"Will you go on a date with me?" He asked "NO" that was all she said "Will you go on a date with me?" He asked again "NO" she said rolling her eyes "Will you go on a date with me?" he asked yet again "No despo" she stated without showing any emotion He chuckled "Say yes...please?" he said grinning ******************** Earth is indeed round. We come across people whom we think we would never meet again. Same happened with Derek, a night..a song..a girl. Just these things that had preoccupied his mind for years until the day he thought he is over her. But life has its own plans. They come across again and this time it is different. Its the web of weird circumstances. Iris didn't knew Derek but Derek certainly had an idea of what and who Iris is. Unknowingly Derek become the most unwanted part of her life. No matter how cliché it sounds but that's how all love stories ought to begin. That's how the stories unroll themselves leading to either the "Happily ever after" or "The tragic end". Through denial to the ultimate station of Acceptance. But the question is would she be able to accept the change that her life brought upon her or would she dwell upon the pain that past inflicted on her?

My other half (PERCABETH) by FangirlHere1234

*Currently undergoing some editing* A soulmate is someone that just gets you. It's a connection of minds, a mutual respect, an unconditional love and a total understanding. It's about being yourself and knowing, not only that person is following and understanding your thoughts, but is right there with you, side by side. Whenever your soulmate learns to write, one word appears on your body which is very close to your soulmate. The mark also appears in his/her handwriting and is light brown in color. If your soulmate dies, then the mark slowly fades away. When you meet your soulmate, the mark becomes black in color and you develop a special link with your soulmate. For some people, the soulmates feel each other's pain or they feel each other's emotions- happy and not-so-happy. But not in Annabeth's case. Read on to find out. This is a percabeth fanfiction but if you haven't read the Percy Jackson Series, don't worry you can still understand the story. Highest rankings- #2 in percabeth #1 in soulmate #1 in pipermclean #1 in annabethjackson #7 in jason
