Excerpt from Duality by Elle Casey
My name is Malcolm. For as long as I can remember I've brought nothing but misery to those around me. Pain. Sadness. A loneliness so bone-deep it smothers any thoughts of joy or hope that might try to seep in from reality.
I don't do this on purpose. In fact, I'd do anything to change it, this effect I have on people. Some kids might think they want to be an agent of darkness, so they dress up in black clothes and dye their hair and do drastic things to their wardrobes, shocking people with their angry, outlandish attitudes. But if they were to walk a day in my shoes, they'd change their minds in a second. They'd join the Latin club and study hard and do everything they could to make their parents proud. No one truly wants to be me; they just think they do.
I call myself that - the agent of darkness - but I don't really know what I am or what my problem is. What I do know is that it's real and it's nothing I can control
...
...I'm just Rae. And for as long as I can remember, I've had this problem. It follows me everywhere like a faithful dog at my heels. People who get near me become happy. Too happy. They become so full of joy, they eventually get to the point that they can't not be around me. And in their need to be close, they get too close. They smother me. They scare me. They become a danger to everyone.
Or at least, that's what my dad thinks. The problem is, he suffers as much as the strangers do from the effects of being in my presence. He thinks he's just being a protective, loving father, but I know the truth. He's under my thrall. He can't be without me, just like my mom can't. Just like the kids at my last school and the one before it and the one before that one...
The only thing keeping my parents from homeschooling me on an island in the middle of nowhere is my threat that I'll leave them. It's a threat I have to reissue every time they pull me from another school. Eight times in the last three years, I've stared my parents in the face and warned, "If you don't enroll me in a public school somewhere, I'm going to disappear and you'll never see me again. Ever."
And so they enroll me, because they have no choice.
Neither of them wants me to leave. In fact, they both believe they'd die if I ever did. It's been a burden of mine that I've been unable to shake, try as I might, since I was old enough to understand what was going on. I hate to say this even just to myself, but one of these days, I am going to leave. I'm going to disappear forever and never look back.

LoL! I must admit, I don't get much writing done. I haven't even looked at my WIP since last NaNoWriMo. Haven't even signed up for this one. I might be too late - I don't know.
DeleteI read every single moment I get a chance. Even if I know I'm only going to get a page or two in doesn't matter, lol. I take my Kindle or a book with me everywhere I go. :D Thanks so much!!
