The man approached me, threatening, still holding a bottle in his hands. He was so close I could smell his foul breath on my face, filling my lungs with poison. 'Allow me to open your eyes, Magdalene.'

'Good evening, my dears,' greeted the Shepherd through the speakers. 'Once again, another great day pleasing your Leaders. Be grateful, my dears: for you must remember, time is precious...'
'But even more so is virtue,' I anticipated in my mind.

I hated those spoiled pricks. Some of them were too rich to have known hard work once in their lives, most believe money could buy anything. But all those who walked into the Happy Garden were despicable the same way.
They all came to buy human lives.

She stands opposite me, and the space between us is a void. I think of how close she lay to me in bed this morning, the comfort of her slow, steady breaths. #CityVoice2019 #teaser #dystopian @Harriet_Reilly

I’ve hated Nola for half my life. I was seven when she was Offered to us. All those precious years without her, but when I try to think of them, my memories are dull and grey. #CityVoice2019 #teaser #dystopian @Harriet_Reilly

[CityVoice2019 @CityVoice2019]

She would never forgive herself. Sara was the oldest; she should have protected her better. She should have been more careful. If she had, maybe Sophie would still be here today. #teaser #CityVoice2019 @MissConstance24

[CityVoice2019 @CityVoice2019]

This is not where she imagined herself to be when she first moved to London two years ago. She knew she still had time to achieve her dreams but she felt stuck. #teaser #CityVoice2019 @MissConstance24

Until she felt someone grab her from behind and her blood run cold. #teaser #CityVoice2019 #fantasy #mystery @MissConstance24

Looking around, she realized with horror that her hood wasn’t covering her face anymore. It must have fallen when she hit the ground. Her red hair was a dead giveaway. She hastily put her hood back on and glanced around her. #teaser #fantasy #CityVoice2019 @MissConstance24

Raven felt her chest tightened. She had no one and nowhere to go. What was she going to do? If They caught up with her, it would all be over. They would have the Pocketwatch and there would be no stopping them. #teaser #fantasy #CityVoice2019 @MissConstance24

[CityVoice2019 @CityVoice2019]

Our featured writers @MissConstance24 will take you on a mysterious quest where time is not what it seems! Her #fantasy and #magicalrealism fiction follows Sara as she tries to find out the truth about a young orphan and a magical Pocketwatch. Look out for #CityVoice2019 #teaser

He had bribed the right soldiers, kept all the right people content in the thrall of drugs and magic. Yet a mob had still found some reason to come after him. #CityVoice2019 #teaser #magic #karma @AngelicaCurzi

On the night Adam went missing, Horace was racing down a hallway on the second floor of his burning mansion. #CityVoice2019 #teaser #fire @AngelicaCurzi

[CityVoice2019 @CityVoice2019]

They had flooded the courtyard armed with torches, spears, pitchforks, and whatever else they could find — with at least one sharp end. And thank the Gods they had no horses to pull a battering ram uphill. #CityVoice2019 #teaser #mob @AngelicaCurzi

‘Alik?’ Horace removed his gloves and handed them to the butler.
‘Yes, Sir?’
‘I poisoned the town’s water,’ Horace announced. ‘If I somehow had a few
corpses to get rid of without looking suspicious, what would you recommend I did?’ #CityVoice2019 #teaser #poison @AngelicaCurzi
