Synopsis

Marie Angeletti is young, beautiful and happy. But life has given her certain attributes that she quickly realizes come with pain and sacrifice. Raised into a super-human through mind-programming, she can do almost anything she wants, until she realizes she is in love with her best friend, Michael Shaw.

Michael has been targeted by a criminal mastermind who experiments in his own kind of mind programming that always ends in the death of his subjects. Marie is unsure if she can go on without knowing if her friend loves her too, but she finds out too late that even though she can protect him, a price must be paid.

Angelic tells a story of love and pain. It's about teenagers in high school, about crime on the streets, and what lengths one girl will go to protect the one she loves.

Alright, here is the second part I would like to share, and maybe the last for a while. This takes place a little less than half-way through the story. A little less, content-wise, than the first section I posted, but hopefully a little more rewarding. (?)


Enjoy!

Synopsis

Angelic is about a girl named Marie Angeletti. On the inside she is a very abnormal girl. Raised by her father until she was about fifteen years old, she has been mind-programmed to a state of almost inhuman perfection. She is brilliant, strong, and fast. She has been trained to fight, think and out-smart any foe. On the outside however, she keeps all of these skills and attributes perfectly hidden.

At the beginning of the first chapter, her father has unexpectedly left her, and she is forced to learn about the world on her own while growing and maturing into a woman. She has two friends, Michael and Zach. Together the threesome have weathered most everything, until Marie discovers her feelings of love for Michael. Marie struggles not knowing if Michael reciprocates those same feelings, and she fears losing the best friend of her life while also wanting him so much more than a friend.

Angelic is also about Michael. At the outset of the story, in his junior year Michael has very suddenly found that he has a natural talent at playing football, a talent that lands him on their high school varsity team and into newfound popularity. Michael has been raised by only his mother, without a lot of money or other extra things. Michael's concerns are for his future, college and enough money for both.

As the story progresses you will be introduced to a man who's only goal is to raise his empire from crime to legitimacy. He has a special interest in human mind control and thinks that it could be the answer to an eventual utopia where 'stupid' people no longer exist. He targets young, intelligent and athletically superior males for experimentation. He also has a very disturbing knowledge of Marie and where she came from.

The First Entry

Here I am, sitting in front of the computer... starting the first post of a 110,000 word story, and I have no idea what to type. Bad time for writer's block. :-)

Angelic is a story that created itself in my mind for about 8 years before I ever began actually writing it down. It is a story that encapsulates sacrifice, growth, learning and most importantly love in the lives of a few people. It is very much a fictitious story, set in, (hopefully) believable human emotions.

Before you begin reading anything else, you should know that Angelic is much like a comic book. For years I have considered some of the best stories in the world trapped inside comic book pictures. Recent movies like Spider-man or Batman have shown us how dramatic these comic book stories can truly be! I absolutely loved the end of the first Spider-man with Tobey Maguire as he forced himself to walk away from the love of his life. That is a tragic hero, exactly what I am aspiring to in this story.

Even though I am tempted to stress that this is the first story I have ever written, and thus should be given some leeway... I would rather you simply enjoy this because you like it, because you think its good. So, if you are brave enough to read-on, don't pull any punches, let me know what you think!
