A series of vignettes make up this novel about a young woman involved in an automobile accident one afternoon on a desolate stretch of highway somewhere in the San Joaquin Valley. Ejected from the car upon impact, she lands on the gravel shoulder right alongside the debris stream of papers, bottles, and fast food wrappers. She finds herself in and out of consciousness and through a sequence of flash backs; moments from her life occupy her thoughts as she struggles to understand what has just happened to her. Broken dreams and disappointments scatter themselves across her mental landscape as family, friends, and strangers are all recalled in a myriad of settings and situations involved. Confused and often alone in her memories, she attempts to navigate and understand an environment she is not fully capable of doing. All her life, she seeks to belong but always finds herself in a different space, perhaps a no space of sorts while those around her go through the repetitions of daily life. Never taken into account, never considered, and never celebrated; she questions where she belongs in the world and in the end she realizes that she never really belonged anywhere at all.

After years of absence, a young woman returns to her island home, revisiting demons she thought forgotten. This story was originally written for "Dark Dreams" an anthology by @tenebris_somnia. After been expanded to enter TNT's horror contest, it made the top 35. 😄

[ONE CHAPTER STORY ✓] They are what you would call polar opposites. They lived in different worlds; wanted different things, as all humans do. What greater thing than love to bring together two wandering souls that were meant for each other? But with their lives contrasting each other as sharply as the night differs from day, and the fierce battle they fight with their own demons. Will their story be a happy one?

In a city where magic flows like code-compiled, structured, auditable-Vex has learned to survive by being useful. They cannot cast. Every spell crashes with a fatal error no diagnostic can explain. So they've become a translator, a compiler, making everyone else's magic work while their own refuses. When wild-code appears-magic that flows from intention rather than syntax, impossible to regulate or suppress-the Mage Council sees risk. Vex sees people whose magic works differently, not wrongly. People the system rejected first. Commissioned to help eliminate wild-code, Vex must choose between the safety of invisibility and the risk of being seen. Between a career built on working around their "limitation" and fighting to prove it was never a limitation at all. A novel about systems that claim to be neutral, magic that refuses to lie, and the cost of rewriting infrastructure when you can't stay invisible anymore. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays!

"I always knew I'd take a bullet for you", I say as pain ebbs through my chest. She crouches beside me, clutching at my shirt. Sobs echo from her as my eyelids grow heavy with weight. "And I always knew you wouldn't take one for me". I whisper and shut my eyes. ************************************ One woman One man A love till the end of time A cruel joke played by the universe.. ********* A not-so cliché wattpad novel.

Will the law-abiding citizens prevail? Or will the law-breaking officials have their way in the court of life? Or better yet, will they ALL discover a truth NOBODY expected? ------------------------- (****WARNING - CONTAINS SEX, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, ALCOHOL and MORE) -------------------------
