Penny is just a normal high school girl from the suburbs of Chicago. She never thought any of this was real. She never meant to put her best friend in danger. And especially never wanted to meet Death face-to-face.
A group of six teenagers from across the country have been lifted from their confusing and warped lives in one night. They wake up in an underground cave, with a Shadowed Man in the doorway of the underground room. The Man tells them they have special abilities - cleaning abilities, as he put it. He tells them they are now a team of Cleaners, people who take on special missions, following the destruction a certain man leaves behind as he moves across the globe. Every site they go to has a body, a story, and a mark. Their job is to clean up his mess.
They weren't supposed to know any more than that. They were supposed to live the rest of their lives like this. But when Penny listens to a silent conversation between the Man and a stranger, she discovers that their lives have a limit and as they continue the missions, they get closer to death. How they die is uncertain, but they struggle change their fate and free their souls. Now the race is on to answer all their questions and save themselves before it is too late. Who is the Man who collected them? Who is the One whose destruction they follow? What are they absorbing and how is it absorbed? How can they get out?

What would you do if tomorrow morning, everybody in the entire world vanished? If you're anything like my brother and I you'd probably jump for joy. We certainly did, all you can eat pizza for the very reasonable price £0. In the first moment it is heaven, but then you realise the true cost. Your friends; gone! Your family; gone! And all that is left is the pain. Rocky and Chase explore their empty world determined to make it back home as they search for their lost mother and 12 year old sister Kayleigh. With an empty world this might seem a hopeless task but try telling that to two orphan brothers. When you wait that long for a mum you don't let little things like 'disappearing' stop you from getting her back. Unfortunately for the maladjusted boys some of the people who disappeared have come back, and they have, let's say 'changed.' That's ok though, these boys have never shied away from a fight in their life! But when the last girl on earth actually might actually be your soul mate it's a new kind of pain for Rocky to watch her fall for his brother. His fists have gotten him through life up to now, so it's hard to accept that the key to finding his Mum and solving this mystery might mean facing his feelings.

Her family gets captured, Dad's company was taken over by an enemy, but not the enemy we expected and she gets to meet people she never even thought off. Adventure. Teenromance. Family wars. Heart breaks. Is what to expect from our story, WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT. Trust me guys the story is more fun than how it's been put cause I'm not really good at writing these things. ************ "What's wrong?" He asked and I pointed straight ahead where light was pouring in. He still looked at me confused, not getting what I was saying. I sighed before opening my mouth "Run" and as soon as I said that the door was kicked open and we could hear them shouting. "Where are those little trouble makers?" they asked her but she shook her head telling them she had no idea where we were. One growled madly like an angry lion and yelled "You can run away little kiddies but you can't hide forever" and with that we heard gun shots and curses but little did they know, we were already out the door..... This story has a touch of violence and abusive words. Hope you love it. Every character and event happening is just my imaginationse, no copying my storyComplete
We're Still Alive(Book1)BEING REWRITTEN
This book follows four teenagers from four different parts of the U.S. when their lives are dramatically changed one day. When zombies become real and more than just horror movies and scary books, they're forced to fight to stay alive. What they don't know is how similar their struggles are, along with their goal: get to the supposed safe haven alive. (The book is under editing right now, and I'll be changing the location of the safe haven from Columbus to Cincinnati. I didn't really think it through when I first wrote this but I think that Cincinnati would make a little more sense. Sorry for any confusion!) *************** BEING REWRITTEN I started writing this at 14, and it started out as something I made just for fun. The story was mostly imporvised, and I don't like how it's turned out. I've had a lot of new and hopefully more interesting ideas, and there's so much that I decided to rewrite the whole thing completely. The story will be very different but the characters will be the same for the most part. It'll have the same style of writing with the different points of view, but separated between books instead of chapters, and I already have a storyline laid for the first 2 or 3. I'm sorry for the people that like the original story and were hoping for more, so I won't be deleting this one. I'll update on my page once I start posting chapters of the new series.Complete
