SEP1A

The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical.

Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable.

With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question.

Excerpt:

Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps.

His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement.

When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck.

Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel.

Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box.

Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable.

It was all for first love.

Devil Child

Daniel springs up, forehead covered in beads of sweat. He heaves as if he had been running a marathon but cannot quench his thirst for oxygen.

Beside him, Noe rubs Daniel's back. Although their bodies are hot in the heat of their bedsheets, Daniel feels cold to the bone.

"Breathe, my love," Noe clasps Daniel's hand, bringing it to his heart. He lets Daniel feel the rises and falls of his chest but still Daniel's breaths come erratically.

Daniel turns to Noe with tears streaming down his face. Looking down in embarrassment, Daniel notes that his muscles have torn through his pyjamas, again.

At his apartment, Daniel kept so many pairs of pyjamas because he would rip through one pair every night he had this recurring nightmare. However, he continued to buy more of the same size; he would not give up hope that one day he could overcome his affliction.
