IMPACT

Here’s an excerpt from IMPACT, the YA paranormal novel I’ve been working on and finally completed. :D Impact follows an 18 year old who believes he’s pointless and a Shadow Reaper who is determined to prove him wrong.

~~~~~~

It starts with one.

My name is Moses.

He looked at the only words he’d been able to type in over a week. The project was due in less than a month, and all he could get were those four stupid little words. Sure, others had crept into his document, but they’d been deleted almost as soon as they crossed his screen. Stupid things like, I’m the best big brother in the world, and my friends think I’m awesome. Both were true, at least to a point, but nothing he’d written so far made him seem like a person who made any difference on the world. He was plain, average, and had done nothing in his eighteen years to impact anything.

.

My name is Moses… and I am completely pointless.

He scrunched his lips together and shook his head, turning off the monitor. This is so incredibly stupid. The assignment came on day two of his freshman psych 101 class. There were no introductions, no brief overview of what to expect in the class. Day one, they’d gone over the class register and split into study groups of five. Their professor, Dr. Abe Sawyer, released them with a “good day and we’ll see you tomorrow.” Moses couldn’t believe his luck. Day two came, and stabbed him in the back. What had seemed like a nice and easy A suddenly turned into hell, and Satan himself presided over it under the guise of a non-practicing shrink.
