Payne's Landing, Year 2552:
The future is not like what we imagined. Along with some new technology (minus the hovercrafts, space suits and time machines) society has gained something new to get their greedy hands on.
In this world of the future, people have super powers.
Twenty-four year old Kat Andrews is one of the many people who have this privilege. Unfortunately, her life isn't as simple as gadgets and super powers. She is betrothed to someone who she will never love and on top of that, she has a horrid mother-in-law that seems to be taking control of her life, despite her protests.
As Kat's wedding day inches closer, she feels that her life is no longer hers and that her path is being predetermined by everyone else in her life.
All hope is lost when a certain turn of events cause Kat to be taken out of her posh lifestyle and transported to a world that she never knew existed.

Feet Aren't Made for Walking [BEING PUBLISHED!] #OnceUponNow
One of the winners of the Once Upon Now contest! Feet Aren't Made for Walking will be renamed Truth Be Told and will be published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, on October 11, 2016 in the Once Upon Now Anthology! ---------------------------- Leo Clark is having a really bad day. He's been transported into a topsy-turvy alternate universe (not a good thing when your mom's expecting you home for dinner), he's recently acquired wooden extremities and is physically incapable of telling a lie (an even worse thing when you pride yourself on not sharing your emotions), and his little sister has been kidnapped, mistaken for the lost princess of the Land of Pittsborough (the worst thing of all because...please refer back to the part about Mom making dinner). In order to save his sister and find a way home, Leo will have to confront an evil queen who lives in an office cubicle, a few mice with horrible fashion sense, and a girl with green skin and webbed toes (but hey, at least she's kind of cute). And he'll have to do it all before the clock strikes midnight or risk being trapped in Pittsborough forever. Now if only he could figure out how to walk on his wooden feet... --------------------------- This short story is a modern day fairytale mashup, partially inspired by Pinocchio, The Frog Prince, and many others. Enjoy!Complete
