"I don't believe it." Rosalind scoffed in disbelief. She took the whole day off work to sit and watch the premier with me. I had to have wine while we watched or I would have broken down. Tears were already forming in my eyes as the screen faded to black. "What an absolute--"
"How could he?" I gasped softly. "He lied. He straight up lied. Just friends? Hardly talked to each other? What?"
"Why would he say that? Why did he lie?" Ro was closely sitting next to me, filling my wine glass up. "Maybe it was a publicity thing, you know? Maybe..." My ears started to drown every noise out, I just wanted sleep. Ringing. Blurry. My heart pounding so hard that I thought it might jump out of my chest. I just wanted sleep. "Andy?" Please, sleep.
*3 hours later*
I woke up in a hospital room. "What happened?" My voice was groggy and my throat felt shredded. Ro was sitting in a chair right next to the bed, completely asleep. She opened her eyes and sat up straight, pushing herself closer to me and holding my hand.
"Geez. You scared me!" She sighed with relief. "You passed out. I thought you fainted but you weren't waking up, I had to call an ambulance."
I groaned, "More debt. Yay."
"I know, sorry. I'll help pay off this bill, don't worry." She rubbed my back. "The doctors said you had such a bad panic attack that you passed out. You woke up not long after the ambulance came but you were.. frantic. They had to sedate you. You've been asleep for.. 3 hours now I think."
That sounded amazing. "Okay."
"I'm going to find the doctor. Don't go anywhere."

"Don't think I can even if I want to." I laughed lightly, holding my arms and seeing the wires and tubes hanging off of me. I looked over, seeing my phone tucked inside Ro's purse, I reached over to grab it. A few missed calls from my parents, no surprise. I opened instagram, trying to pass the time, I opened a few messages just because I was curious. Then, finally, it happened.
New imessage from XXX-XXX-XXXX
It's Tom.. I don't know if you saw the Oprah premier but if you did.. I'm sorry.
I scoffed. After nearly a month, he finally messages me and that's it? He lied on international television and all I got was a I'm sorry... I ignored his message and went back to instagram. I unprivated all my socials and posted a picture--
Alive and well. Sort of. Anyway, I do not like liars.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
