She watches people dying in front of her, the cells dripping from their skin as their inevitable end nears with each passing breath. But her friends are different. Picture Girl and Old Smeller glow and their bodies move without the jerkiness of mere humans. And like her, they have a special power. Flame On can turn anyone gay, and the Idea Man can process massive amounts of data into simple statements. The group of friends have been tasked with finding a special individual; someone who could save them from themselves. For Becky, it would be the ability to be able to see herself in a mirror without seeing the horror of her own death. But he doesn't want to be found. He has hidden himself in plain sight and has found the woman of his dreams. If he had dreams. He is a mystical creature tortured by his very nature and his only solace is Tabytha. And his ability to turn water into wine. In the first micro-book in the Collector series, croyus has began to lay the foundation for a universe which lays under the nose of all humanity. It mirrors our own, but is filled with people with fantastic powers and creatures whose very existence is to dissolve all humanity into its own nightmare. less
