Not everyone knows what prison is like, but everyone knows the feeling of being trapped. Garren Goodman is in prison for murder and felt trapped his entire life. He had a rough childhood and is having a rougher adulthood - in the four walls of his cell. Unlike other prisoners, he could escape if he wanted. All it would take is a few punches thrown. It's not only himself that he wants to keep locked away - something inside of him, something supernatural. Most people would call them superpowers. He'd call them a curse. But what would he do if he did get out? Where would he go? He has nowhere to go and the people who would 'want' him are the reason he's locked up in the first place. In some ways, he's better off in prison. It's not until a new cellmate is thrown into the wolves cave with him does he consider making an escape - especially since his new friend claims to be wrongfully convicted. Only one of them is revealed to be a murder. But as they say, kill or be killed, right?…

Trapped
❝It is not enough to notice the beautiful flowers as you walk past them. You need to reach for their soft petals, feel their essence, remember what it is to grow.❞ - Christy Ann MartineThere is no escaping the past, or what's to come. Ellie Davis knows that all too well. Even as she lays in the field, with the sinking sun and the fading blue sky, suspended in time; she knows it can't be that way forever. As much as she wants it to be. She turns to her side, wringing the daisy chain on her wrist. The evening summer breeze brushes against her exposed skin. Her lids fall shut. "I wish you were here." She says to no one, no one at all, her words lost in the wind. Ellie Davis has had anything but a normal life. Living in a small, tight-knit town with a family like hers and all the secrets with them - her only escape is the graveyard. No one else goes there, for obvious reasons. That is, until she meets a boy - one she's never seen before. The rest of the town is bound to unravel his story soon enough. After all, they know her's. Or at least, part of it. The new guy in town, however, no one knows anything about his. But when he meets her, his story almost seems like nothing compared to her's - and she doesn't even know it.…

Everyone knew him as the kind, attractive and socially acceptable guy he was. Except he was more than that - he was the light at the end of the tunnel when all she could find was darkness. But everything's different now. He's gone - dead.Nothing about it is normal, or makes sense. The only thing she knows for sure is that it isn't getting better - it's only getting worse.
