Sixteen year-old Cynthia Evelyn Lee led a normal teenage life. Until she was kidnapped. And murdered.
The thing is, she did not disappear from the face of the Earth. She became a part of it- as a spirit. Now she wanders endlessly, hoping for the arrival of a clue to solve her own case.
No one aids Cynthia but a few kindred spirits. However, will they be enough help to free her? Not all spirits are nice.

"Come on!" I screamed as they approached me. Just a little closer, just one more step. "Please!" I cried out. "Just look closer!" They hesitated, as though they could hear me. A dog barked faintly, and they turned around; trudging through the deep snow wearily. "No.." I sobbed. "No, just come back!" I collapsed. "COME BACK!" I screamed as loud as possible, knowing they would still hear nothing but the whisper of the wind through the snow-laden branches of the trees.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete

I have always wanted to write a book that I want to read and I love crime stories with a touch of darkness. The characters that I created are not perfect. They all have flaws, just like all of us and I love to play with those flaws. I created them by heart and my love to them is equal. The word I created in this story sets in a distant future, where humans were survivors of a gargantuan apocalyptic disaster. It changes the way of living but in some aspects, but humanity stays the same. The cycle repeats itself and you can always find similarities. I own all the copyrights of these stories and I will take matter seriously to plagiarism. I hope that you enjoy my stories and can be entertained by them. Happy Reading !

Shattered Crystal

Hermione declared, an edge of panic in her voice. "He must be awfully important to me if the lot of you won't let him through the damn door." Her voice rose in pitch, the panic overwhelming her.
