Pitch Madness: S-15 STAYING DEAD

TITLE: STAYING DEAD
GENRE: YA DARK FANTASY
Word Count: 82,000


Persephone Mead is NOT a normal 15-year-old girl. There’s a reason she keeps dying, waking up in Heaven, only to be thrown back to Earth. Will she find out why?


When your eardrum gets blown apart, something weird happens. Right before everything goes silent, there’s this freaky ringing in your ear.




Not a lot of people know this, but that ringing in your ears? It’s actually the sound of dying cells. What you’re hearing is actually the last time you’ll ever get to hear that particular note. When it’s gone, it’s gone forever.




And right now, it was as if there was an entire orchestra of notes, all ringing, all dying, and that sound just drowned out everything. It drowned out the sirens, it drowned out the screaming. It even drowned out the firefighter who was trying to drag me to safety. I think he was yelling something at me, but I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t hear a thing.




I blinked, staring up at the sky. Everything was coming in and out of focus for some reason. Blurry, sharp, blurry, sharp.

    So blurry, you don't even see the paintballs coming.

    4 body shots!
