The neutrois humanoid was cloaked in white, chains hugging their wrists and binding them to an unseen wall.
"I know," it muttered quietly, deliberately. "I know you, know you-- "
Somehow I knew they were referring to my celestial DNA. There was still a ghostly tone in their voice.
"Help us," it whispered. "Drowning, smothered--" They began to fade away, but even when I couldn't see them anymore, their vague voice still ran rampant through my head, between the folds of my very soul.
"Help us."

Hello, my name is Agnes, and I'm a basic high school student. I have friends. I have enemies. I have a buttload of homework 24/7. I have problems.
Very big problems.
1) I have a secret-- one that would probably make you laugh at first, then stop and ponder its true meaning after the initial surprise. And if that secret escapes, my very life will be at stake.
2) There is a spiritual disease spreading faster than the Black Death and roughly seven times as detrimental to mankind.
3) I have very human friends who have very human limitations and ways of thinking.
4) My body, as opposed to my soul, isn't in its natural state. And than can be very compromising when you're trying to stop the spread of spiritual corruption and you can't even find its source.
Yep, I'm on a mission to put a stop to this nonsense. Not by my own choice, of course, but who can say 'no' when The Big G Himself asks you to do something this important?
Think I can't do it?
You're on.

In the beginning, there was death.
The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family.
In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
