Olivia Lane (Part 1)
With a schizophrenic father in a mental institution and a college life weighed down by anxiety and loneliness, Lane Bennett’s existence suddenly turns upside down when a new job places her face to face with Garrett Taylor, a man she has never met, but one who strikes tremendous fear within the depts of her soul. Her suspicion of him becomes an obsession that has her questioning everyone and everything in her life. While his secrets have been scarred into her mind for years, she is unaware of those scars and goes spiraling into a reality of vicious intent with no return.
Olivia Bennett is very aware of her limited existence and as such, she does everything in her power to turn Lane’s world upside down. Boring is a word that doesn’t exist to her because sex, drugs, and fun is everything she desires. She knows everything and fears nothing because she’s already been through one of the scariest things one person can go through. Taken one night by an angel who sets her free only hours later, her return to his world strikes a vengeful chord in her already dark soul, but Lane’s obsession traps her and her dark angel in a position that neither one of them saw coming.

Once I was Alive
Death is a dark shadow that looms over all of us. He watches you as you sleep. Waits for you in dark alleyways ready to pounce the moment you make a wrong turn. He stands on the opposite side of the street when you don’t look both ways. He even sits next to you waiting for that moment the light turns red and you look away.
He’s everywhere.
So why won’t he come for me?
Some would say death is a coward’s way out. That maybe things are not as bad as it seems and I’m only looking for attention. But what people with perfect lives, perfect families, and perfect friends don’t see, is other people’s problems. They don’t notice someone who’s not as perfect as them. They don’t see anything beyond what their perfect lives don’t accept.
I stood on the roof that day ready to die, but as usual, life threw me a curveball. Upon seeing me standing on the edge of my school’s roof, this mysterious man does everything in his power to help me understand that my life is worth a lot more than I imagine. I don’t know him, but after learning his name as a parting goodbye, I quickly discover the impossible truth behind his appearance on the roof that day. Our destinies are intertwined in more ways than one, the only problem is which destiny do I follow when one of them is real and the other is inside my head.
