Invisible Threads

Emma never wanted to be different. She wanted school days that blended together, quiet afternoons with her best friend Mary, and a future that felt predictable and safe.
Then she moved an object with her mind.
What starts as a single, impossible moment becomes a life-altering secret. Emma's telekinetic power grows stronger by the day, responding not just to her thoughts but to her emotions. Fear makes it surge. Calm barely holds it in check. And no matter how carefully she hides it, the world begins to notice.
At school, whispers replace laughter. Former friends look at her with suspicion or envy. And beyond the safety of teenage routines, a shadowy government agency known as the Department of Paranormal Activity monitors unexplained phenomena, ready to intervene, contain, and control.
Mary remains Emma's only constant. Sharp-minded and deeply loyal, she refuses to let Emma face the storm alone. Together, they test limits, make contingency plans, and cling to the fragile normalcy of friendship even as danger closes in. But secrecy strains even the strongest bonds, and the pressure of being hunted begins to fracture Emma's sense of self.
