In a cold, messy and questionable town removed from most U.S maps, named Nesorina Valley, rests Lawrence Greene's Orphanage, a tall wooden orphanage for teenagers. Randy Johnson, age 13, is going to be situated there. When he and one of his original orphanage's staff members go exploring the orphanage, they discover it to be empty. Randy later discovers the bloody corpse of the staff member, and makes it his main goal to figure out how to escape the town.
(I'm not entirely sure if this should be rated mature. There's not going to be any visual depictions of violence or blood/gore, just sort of graphic descriptions. If it is what should be considered Mature, so be it. Recommended for 14+.)
(Story contains descriptions of violence, blood/gore, abuse, and occasional religious reference. Readers, read with caution.)
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
