Hysteria in the House of Change

Here's a pulpy, sci-fi story I wrote back in 2005 with the help of LJ friends! I asked people to provide me with random sentences from books, magazines and newspapers and then tried to weave it all together into a story. Hysteria in the House of Change was the result.

I've edited a little over the years as some of the sentences really didn't make much sense, no matter how hard I tried. My boyfriend kindly offered to create a book cover for it and the final result is now up on Wattpad.

Incidentally, any of you interested in writing, I highly recommend posting your stuff there and getting involved.  I've met some good writers - ranging from retired teachers in the US to young up-and-coming indie writers in Australia - and it can be a wonderful community if you know where to look.  Yes, the majority of writers are teenagers obsessed with One Direction, but you also get people posting memoirs, poetry, and there are even competitions - called "smackdowns" - that encourage creative writing.  It's fun!
