Ordinary World by Jack T Canis 'Life often boils down to simple questions with complex answers. Olivia Buchanan's question was simple, if twofold: 'Was sixteen year old Olivia Buchanan truly the culmination of a secret 30 year genome project, by a clandestine research organisation, to create the ultimate human in order to save humanity from itself? Or: Has she merely inherited her mother's delusional schizophrenia, spiralling her into a nightmarish hell created by a diseased and fractured mind?' Simple. Adult • Diversity Representation/Mental Health • Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense/Technothriller • Fantasy/Science Fantasy • Fantasy/Alternate History Content Warning: Strong adult profanity throughout. Some scenes maybe disturbing. |
