Kanéko never traveled beyond her father's lands, but she dreamed of the chance to have grand adventures of her own. When the local school planned a trip, she jumped at the chance to finally see the world.

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33Complete

Conduits
Long ago, on a normal Thursday, the world went dark. Power grids went down. Electricity shut off. The internet fizzled into nothing. Planes dropped from the sky. People died. One hundred years later the surviving humans live amongst the junk left over from Black Out Thursday. Cars are rusting. Cities lay abandoned. Cell phones, computers, and other machines are worthless to most, except to a few… Clara Danvers is a conduit, a person with the ability to Wake the junk from humanity's past by infusing the sleeping machines with Nites. Fearing the people who do not understand her abilities, Clara and other conduits live their lives in hiding. Most conduits tend to brave the crumbling metropolitan ruins of old, scraping to gather a living for eccentrics who will pay well for antiques from the world's past. They scavenge junk, repair junk, sell junk, and Wake junk in the back allies and dark basements of the lightless communities of tomorrow. Until the day one a conduit goes missing… From a young age conduits are taught to fear those people who don't understand them, to keep vigil, or the road pirates called the Junkers will get them in the night! Braver than most, these bedtime cautionary tales never scared Clara, until the day a friend's family is murdered and that friend's conduit brother disappears. Now Clara must find the people that took her friend's brother. She must do this quickly, because the Junkers are coming for her next… "Conduits" is updated every Tuesday. Check back for new chapters!
