Ellie goes to Sam Allport School for Investigation. As an eighth grader, she's been sent on a mission to find the mysterious "eraser", who's been erasing events from time. But the eraser turns out to be someone unexpected. Soon she finds out more about the eraser, an evil society called the Keoluvents, and the people she thought she could trust... than she ever would have expected. This is the novel I wrote in eighth grade (the first novel I ever finished; sad that that's exciting) and it's currently on its third draft. I need editing, so be harsh!

If you read one thing from me in your whole life, please don't let it be this. This was a rough draft for a class, and my first written work of such a magnitude (other than perhaps some interactive fiction, which was better). I tried to handle it as a short story, and honestly it fails in that criteria. I've added chapters and some revisions to make it less odious. There is improvement throughout the novella, though there are also really obvious errors I haven't bothered to correct and wouldn't make nowadays. Supernatural-twinged cyberpunk action-adventure novella with a mystical-religious overtone. Dates back to February 2013. This is from a while back, and I was more into writing action than writing deeper more philosophical stuff. Not that it didn't try. Had to write it for a class, but I really did enjoy doing it at the time. Although it aimed to just be urban fantasy, the successor was set in one of my overarching settings I worked on for years. The instructor told me at the end of class that "You will make a great teacher, you give excellent feedback." Just be forewarned: this novella is a rough draft for a final draft damned by faint praise.
