You can have it all- fame, glory, riches. All you have to do is press a button- but what does the button do? What if pressing the button meant killing someone? Would you do it? What if you could have whatever you most desired, multiplied by a hundred, if you pressed the button twice? But what if that meant killing two infants? Does the reward overcome the guilt?
Inspired by the famous Milgram experiment, The Button of Death reveals the complexity of the gray area of morality, and tests the limits of one human's humanity.

Swear I Never Would Club
Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy and a Guy. The talented twists of souls that combine to make the club are intertwined with the harsh reality of addiction. Did you know that people whom have addictions generally also are prone to high intelligence. As per Verata Health: Specifically, the study found that men who had a mean IQ score of 109 (the highest in the study) were trying drugs much earlier and also used drugs more frequently than those who tested with an IQ of 100. So the questions go through your hypothesis. Yes, each parent, friend, partner or loved one asks these questions! WHY?? These hypotheses argue that intelligent people who use drugs: Are easily bored - As a result, they look for new and novel things to push their mind. Drugs, being a dangerous and risky thing, entertain and even challenge their minds. Need new challenges - Success often comes easily to intelligent people and they may need to overcome new challenges regularly in order to feel a sense of personal progress. And what is more difficult than beating addiction? Try to fuel their creative fires - Intelligence and creativity are highly linked and the myth that drug use helps fuel creative genius has been spread for centuries. Unfortunately, this may lead intelligent people to try drugs. The Swear I Never Would Club consists of many members. I'd like to introduce you too some of them, if you'll let me. These stories are loosely based on people I've met throughout my journey through addiction and beyond. I am writing this as I experienced it through real situations and twisted tales. Enjoy the ride.Terminé

And he just might hold the key to unlocking Ever's forgotten past and to stopping the strange, earth-shattering events unraveling the future. As secrets unfold and loyalties are tested, Ever has to make a choice: walk away from the chaos and pretend the world isn't ending or embrace her destiny and risk everything to save it. After all, being a teenager is hard. Being the savior of humanity? That's a whole new level. *This is book one in a seriesTerminé
The Black Crow (originally The Reaper)
All my life, I thought I knew how evil this world can be. And just when I thought things changed for the better, everything made a quick and unforeseen turn. I saw what this very evil truly looks like, and it is far more sinister than I realized. I know because this very evil is what killed me. And then after my death, I asked myself, "why am I not dead?" and the answer was obvious. It is because I actually am dead, and the only reason I'm still breathing is because I was reborn into something far more sinister than these evils. ...Soon, my thirst for vengeance will be satisfied with their blood. ...Soon, their tarnished souls will be reaped from this world. This story is intended for mature (+18) readers only. Read at your own discretion.
The Trials (The First Book in the Life Button Series)
What if life was dependent on a button? Your life specifically....and if someone decided that they didn't like you, they could turn that button off. But only the government had control of those buttons. Had control of lives. Had the control of who lives and who dies? Acid is no exceptions to this way of life. One wrong step, one wrong move, and you are dead. Or as they say, Gone. It's an unsaid rule that you don't say nothing bad about anyone working for the government. Unsaid that you don't try to escape The Town. Unsaid that you don't do anything out of daily life. Unsaid that one person can kill all.Terminé

The Feeling Underneath
Hidden behind the polished exterior of LGA Hospital, Artificial Humans are engineered and born underneath the building in secret. Male AHs are bred for combat and power, while the females are designed solely for their wombs. Surrogacy. Two-Sixty-Eight - later named Caesar - was meant to be another expendable weapon. But he is different. He develops a Fore-Light unseen in a decade: the power to manipulate blood. The last AH who possessed it nearly massacred the scientists who created him. To the Suited men, however, Caesar is not just dangerous - he is invaluable. A blood manipulator could mean limitless harvested organs, endless transplants, and the power to rewrite death itself for people waiting on donor lists. But then his caretaker, Joseph Collins, commits the unthinkable and teaches Caesar about humanity, about love, and about truths the organization forbids. All to preserve the human part living inside of him. Soon, a flicker of resistance grows within Caesar's heart as New Knowledge of "The Outside" surfaces. He gathers his Brotherhood and they begin to question, to hope, to dream of this forbidden place, that if uttered, could result in Capital Punishment. They bet everything on a dream never tasted: escape. But will they succeed or will the price of freedom be paid in blood? It only takes a spark to start a fire. And this spark is about to ignite hell.Terminé
Wishing on Rational Stars- Simon "Ghost" Riley x Original Female Character
I craved acceptance, approval, and love for most of my life. There was a time when I dreamed someone or something out there would take me away. All I needed to do was wait. It's time to wake up and stop dreaming. Be rational, I tell myself. Wishing on stars will only get you so far in this life. That was a brief time before him, before any of them. Task Force 141 changed my life; I'm unsure if it's for better or worse.Terminé
Half Hero ⚡️ {Superhero Adventure Scifi}
I should be dead. At least, that's what the government officials told me in the super-secret lab where I woke up strapped to a mattress in a windowless room...Sound problematic to anyone else? Like I told the psychos experimenting on me, I've got zero clue how I got my new powers, but I'm sure-as-shit not going to let them turn me into a deadly weapon (or squeeze me into a spangly jumpsuit). Problem is, I'm not so great at controlling whatever the hell it is I've become...Not to mention I'm on the run from my country for a teensy-weensy act of treason while being chased by a shadowy masked mute who may or may not have superhuman abilities too (but is definitely stupid hot under his off-putting disguise). I'm only 25 and my career choices have been limited to hero or villain. WTF?!? Indie Author Fangirl Moments: 1. SHORTLISTED FOR A 2021 Watty (WTF?!?) 2. A FEATURED STORY ON WATTPAD'S SUPERHERO LIST: GIRL POWER! 3. FIRST PLACE WINNER IN THE 2021 PUNK ROCK AWARDS, ACTION & ADVENTURE CATEGORYTerminé
