THEY CALL HIM RECKLESS

That was an understatement.

Sebastian was the most attractive, dangerous, horrifying man in the entire state of Washington.

He had secrets, secrets in that dark past of him, and I always struggled to understand his motive.

By daytime, he was sitting in class, silent, and taking notes all while doing good on his tests, and by the end of class, his dark eyes were on me, with that look I couldn't comprehend.

He is not who I imagine.

I feel like I know him, and then I don't. I find his motive, and then I find I'm wrong.

But I can't focus on him right now... there's someone out there, watching me. I need to keep my guard up, but at the same time...

I have a feeling Sebastian is centered around it.

I ask him, but he just teases me, he just dodges the question.

Sebastian... can you ever stand in the light? Or is the darkness the safest place for you?

I can see in those eyes... you have plans for me.

I just have to find out what.

Tabrian is a young man who loves to take on challenges and is a fan of a famous athlete named "Fondoman". Fondoman has never lost a race and can conquer any challenge. However, Tabrian learns that challenges are not always easy to overcome, and hard work doesn't always guarantee success. It's up to them to decide how they tackle the challenges that come their way.

Our world is full of secrets. Secrets that not a lot of people know about. Secrets that better stay hidden from the masses…

A highly organised terrorist group has gained in power for years. Infiltrating large companies, rebel groups, even governments… Eliminating this threat is the primary target of the top-secret, international organisation, the World Security Coalition. A new type of shadow warfare has commenced…

Dawn joined the organisation only several months ago, but already proved to be one of the most competent operators the WSC ever had. She is part of ‘the younger generation’, an initiative to recruit young-adults as new agents.

But defeating this new threat won’t be her sole struggle. Struggling social skills, teammates, and a recruit to work with, a feeling of guilt towards the only teammate that neared the term ‘friend’ and constant lying to her ‘normal life’ friends, one is even getting suspicious…

Is she physically impregnable enough to absorb all the pain of her wounds? Is she mentally strong enough to carry on this ambiguous life? Will she, get through this, or will she, only look through the pain?

At what cost will this all end?

(Sidenote: this story contains many genres and not one is disproportionately dominant over the others.)

They were on a mountain road in Peru and had parked by a farmer's field full of coca leaves.

Jake and Vince were curious about the coca leaves. They had heard that chewing them could help with altitude sickness and fatigue. They also wondered what they tasted like and if they had any other effects.

They decided to stop their SUV near a field of coca plants and pick some leaves. They didn't think anyone would notice or care, besides it was nightfall.

"They were almost fatally wrong!"

1) NAKED - "Free" is the word. It's like, imagine you're born in jail, so you're used to it - you've never known anything else. You feel sort of not perfect, but it's life, so... But then one day you get let out - you get freed. And you go out of the prison gates and, wow, there's the world, and you feel a feeling that you've never felt before. Never even dreamed of feeling, really. A brand new feeling - feeling free. Well, that's what naked in the woods feels like, so think about it." ---------------------------Join six 16 year-old high school friends in a summer of discovery. They grew close by swimming together in a forest stream, but now adventures with sex, booze, relationships and identity threaten to split them up.

A young man and an old man are talking. But the truth lies in all that is left unsaid.

Ember was screaming. His people were screaming. His land was bleeding.

Azania was sixteen. And she couldn’t take it anymore. She had spent her childhood lonely, spent it terrified, spent it desperate, spent it aching. The only adults in her life were the people who saw her as nothing but a tool to exploit and use. She was told over and over and over again that she was nothing and no-one and she didn’t matter. The only people in her life who cared about her were fellow slave-children and she barely ever got to see them at all. She needed freedom. Escape. She was willing to do anything for it.

And she wasn’t the only one. All over the city people were being exploited. People were being forced to work under impossibly degrading conditions and live in abject poverty. People were silenced. Stifled. And they were longing for escape.

The Forest was beyond the edges of the city. It was a place of magic and miracles. It was a place of hope and freedom and rebirth. But getting there was next to impossible.

Within the Forest the wolves howled. Azania emerged from the water. And she wasn’t the only one. And she wouldn’t be the only one. Who she met changed her life forever.

I had a nightmare. It was one of the most terrifying dreams I've ever had. I wrote it down almost as soon as I woke up. I can't describe it in detail here because of spoilers. But it features monsters and analogies and a city.———

Cityville. A vile town of lies and it was time Julia Phillips acted upon it. She couldn’t live in this kind of a world and she knew a way out. The outside was supposedly swarming with monsters but were they really the murders everyone made them out to be? Older townsfolk talked about people who had escaped years ago and helped escapees. Was it true? Julia had been stolen from her happy home on Earth. Was it possible to get back? Julia was on a quest to find answers and escape her threatening world, meeting mysterious but lifelong friends along the way.

Five years ago, a lab assistant in Georgia managed to create a mutation that could travel from the DNA of a mosquito to a DNA cell of a human.

When told to destroy the cell for fear of peoples safety, he refused, breeding mosquitoes with the mutation and sending them out.

The first wave of panic spread when citizens learned the mutation had spread, the second, a tsunami of terror when scientists realized the DNA cell effected was only preset in people under the age of twenty-five.

In a desperate attempt to protect their children, adults began staying at home, avoiding contact with the outside world.

Through many distanced meetings, the government decided the best way to avoid this crisis would be to round up all the people who develop the mutation, keeping them secured in special facilities.

When a group of twenty-year-old's escaped however, they realized it wouldn't be so easy to control this virus they fittingly named Extirpation Alteration 45.

Deciding it was the only way to save the human race, the president payed for every adult over the age of thirty to join his in a newly built space station, issuing that anyone who couldn't leave their children behind would have to stay.

Now, in 2050, Tate Stevens is prepared to fix the problem her parents were too cowardly to face.

With her group of truly useless teenage companions, can Tate help the others and save the world from destruction?

The screams were alive, sharpening my senses and making the hair on my arms raise in anticipated fear.

Every year it happened. Another member of our small group would start developing the mutation, leaving the rest of us worried about who would reach the dreaded 'age' next and be lost forever.

Last time it was Charlie White. Now as Rebecca screamed and tore at the chains wrapped around her chest, I finally understood why Katy was so wary about accepting stray children.

After the adults left, we lost structure. We lost understanding. We began to lose ourselves.

That's when I decided that I would bring them back. All of them.

Every child was going to come back home again, and I would make it happen.

It was the day. The day of the final test.

I was alone in the locker room and all I could hear were the clashes of swords and shields.

After some time, the sound finally stopped and that's when, I heard my name. I took one last look at myself in the mirror, and I went out, and that's when I saw her waiting for me...
