A shattered childhood. Growing up 3,000 miles from everything I've ever been taught. Things go wrong. Sometimes they go right. People grow up and change with the seasons. We fall in and out of love with others, and ourselves. We bond. We fight. We grow. We change and learn and love and hate and get sick and question and wonder and hope, and pray to a god who we doubt exists that all ends well. But really, what do we have to be afraid of? All we are is living, breathing souls contained in carbon and stardust. What do we have to lose?

Daybreak Apocrypha - Arcus Primarius
Long ago, our planet was visited by beings from another world, and they built cities here and created human beings here based on their own DNA but modified to suit the Earth's environment. We humans referred to them as their gods, who taught them the knowledge of their world, on which our world was modeled after. But alas, they were flawed beings, just like us humans. They had complicated romantic relationships with each other and with humans, and also led human populations to fight war with each other using weapons of mass destruction over their petty disagreements. Human beings are still part of that legacy. A group of enlightened people who have reincarnated many times from those days to learn that this is not the way forward. Pooling their resources together, they have decided to try and put an end to this vicious cycle once and for all. But how much do they know? How much control do they have over their destiny? Will they succeed? Or will they fall prey to the machinations of their enemy, whose identity they don't even know.Complete
Two hearts equal one LOVE.
Sitting by myself, my feet stuck in the cool water of the little stream, I tried, for the ten millionth time, to reason out why I had to have these problems. I was just a normal everyday kid, no better, no worse than most. I didn't do drugs, I didn't smoke or drink. I worried about my grades and my lack of six pack abs and if I was ever gonna get any taller or grow any hair on my chest. No earthshaking stuff, but important to me.Complete
Picking Daisies (Book #1, Emily's story)

Love sickness
Every year there's a big test well I wouldn't call it a test more like a cheek up, every doctor comes to see if your sick. Not sick with a cold, but sick like in love. Why do we love people? Why do we fall in love? Why would we fall in love if there's a 50/50 chance of not being loved back? Well the answer is because it's the way we live, the way we survive, but what if that was all taken away from us? We couldn't love, like, anything, we had to hide our feelings inside us no matter how hard it was. Well that's like the world today, no love, it's banned if you love you get sent away to I don't know where. We walked past each other not able to love, not able to like, just smile and wave.

To Be Torn Apart
For others, growing up means growing apart, but for us, it felt different. We were inseparable, two halves of a whole, convinced that as long as we had each other, we could conquer anything the world threw our way. We were bound by something that felt unshakable-a connection so deep, it was as if the universe had designed us to fit perfectly together. But life has a cruel sense of irony. None of us could have predicted that the very force keeping us together would eventually drive us apart. What we thought was our foundation slowly became the fault line of every crack, every misunderstanding, every silence that grew too heavy to bear. Sometimes love is like that-a double-edged sword. It builds and destroys, heals and hurts, holds and pushes away. And before we knew it, the thing we once believed was our greatest strength became the storm that tore us apart.
The Bare Necessaties
There's a lot of things wrong with this place. This world. I never really understood it. Never understood why my mom said, "You're gonna change the world someday." Maybe it was better when i didn't understand that. Knowing too much can always get you into trouble. Something i never wanted, something i never asked for....but here we are...Complete
