Highest ranking: #26 in Science Fiction ;

Felix wants to be a Guardian. A boy with a strange brain and a stranger heart, he has one week to prove himself worthy of protecting those he loves from the creatures that roam around Sector-33, all the while battling the demons inside his head and the confusion of his heart.

Dear ____ ,

My therapist told me to start writing these letters. I don't understand the point of them, when I'm never going to put a stamp on them or write an address on them and send them off. And you're never going to read this, anyways.

My life's just changed. And it's not because I've figured out that I'm gay. It's not even because my parents divorced and my Dad moved out. It's not because Sara got accepted into Uni.

Tomorrow, I might never come back home. And even if my mission partner is the hottest guy in the world, I might not come back home.

I don't want to die.

I think my goldfish is judging me as I write this. He's always judging me.

Love,

Felix
