Hey guys- I'm flattered you want to read my book. I usually wouldn't put a dumb not up here, but this book contains triggers for depressions and stuff, so please don't read it you're suseptable to them. Also, DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ARE 15+!!!!! This novel DOES NOT CONTAIN EXPLICIT material, I just don't want anyone hurting themselves. (You have been warned!) Now that that's done... Depression is illegal. Suicide- illegal. Any mental illness- illegal. If you are anything but a stereotypical, straight, happy, successful human being- illegal. Let me elaborate. Fourty years ago, the US government appealed all the gay marriage, mental health protection laws. Roe vs Wade had been appealed decades before that. The year, 2083, was a year of change and horror for the citizens of America, it cause riots, which caused death, which eventually lead to the collapse of the government. In the current year of 2125, we celebrate our new government's 40th anniversary. New Eden. A country where only it's citizen are welcome, and mental disorders are prohibited. So of course as a 17 year old depressed, suicidal, non-sexual, teenager, I feel very safe in my environment. The government is oppressive, my mother is abusive, and the teachers call me lazy and stupid. A true Garden of Eden.

Blood and Thunder

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.
