65 years ago, a disease hit the US, causing amazing but deadly mutations. The survivors revolted on the government and created the Communities. After 65 healthy years, Lyndsey, a child of the new country, becomes infected. She is forced to go beyond the Wall and seek out the secrets of the past with Danny, her infector, if she wants to save herself and those she loves. Please R&R!

Akita is a humble thief, just trying to stay afloat. With a bloodstained past, she'd do anything to make sure her siblings remain happy and healthy. But when Cain, an eerily familiar face, drags her before the king, her world is tossed upside-down. Now she's trapped, forced to play the part of a princess and search for the one thing that will keep her family alive. PLEASE R&R!

Darkness surrounded her and all she wanted was for it to end. Life without her love, without her eyes, was hell. Trapped forever, she stood on the edge of insanity. She desperately wanted to take that last step. Yet something held her back. This is the second half of my contest entree and I would appreciate some R&R. The first half is "Animalistic Love" a short story.
