DEVIANTS

Riviz
‘Let me tell you a story about my life… five years before my birth a life-changing event took place that took the world by storm. Green meteorites rained down from the heavens, killing millions, destroying properties worth billions of dollars! On that very night, the world bled but luckily my family was one of the survivors of this incident but that’s not all… That night the world was shrouded in a green most, believed to have originated from the green meteorites. This led to the gene alteration of many that granted them superhuman abilities, these people are known as Deviants. While many may shout, Hooray! Thinking this is a good thing, it’s not. Let me tell you what happens after this. The birth of the Deviants led to the creation of numerous cults, evil organizations, and countless individual criminals who call themselves ‘Super villains'. Thanks to the birth of the deviants, over a million people, have died in the past two decades as the crime rate increased drastically. People like my parents who weren’t lucky enough to acquire abilities have lost their footing in society. After dedicating decades of their lives to the military and reaching the rank of Lieutenant, their orders are easily challenged by Deviants at the rank of staff Sergeant… Clearly, they are more like ceremonial heads now, with no power or authority. The power system of the world changed drastically and because of this, many civilians without power like myself die daily and no one cares because we are normal…. To make matters worse, animals too were affected by the green mist from the meteorites. Granting them greater strength, intelligence, and even more terrifying abilities than what the humans possess....

The Mafia's Desired Dreams.

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”
