About Tomorrow by Abbi Glines

About Tomorrow by Abbi Glines

The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar. My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding?

Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn’t keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again… Read more.

364 Days a Year by Sarah Riad

For most people, March 29th is just another day. For me, it’s the day I wake as someone new. A different face and different hands, a body that’s not my own. And like every year, i’m only certain of three things. It’s my seventeenth birthday. I have no way of stopping this cycle.
And I’ll die again in 364 days. This year, I’m Effy Garcia.
Something is different. Something I can’t yet place.
Since the year 1909, I have lived in 108 bodies and I have died 108 times.
