Awake by by Huxley Rain Garrett
Insecure in her own Faith as a born-again Christian with a colorful past, Nancie is desperate to prove just how pious she is. And she has some questions for you. Do you know that if you aren’t a believer and you step on a scorpion, you’ll suffer mercilessly for 5 months unable to rid yourself of the pain as you wish for a death that seems to never come? If you’re a true believer like Nancie, you’ll step on the Scorpion. And you’ll step on it NOW! You’ll stop at nothing to prove your love for Christ. You are closer to Jesus than a lover.

HEIST! by Elise Wien
Mari is mid-abortion when the nationwide ban goes into effect. Instead of completing the procedure, Mari’s doctor goes “pencils down” and leaves her with a half-human, half-flesh creature attached to her body. Mari names it Bippo and carries it around in her stolen designer handbag. Tonight, Mari and Bippo plan a jewel heist.
