The Empathy Series: Empathy, Desolate, Vacant, Deadly

This is the entire Empathy series including, Empathy, Desolate, Vacant and Deadly.

They say some people are born with decreased activity in their front central lobe, causing them a deficiency in empathy.
Whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy wasn't an emotion I possessed.
That was until her.
When her green eyes met mine, and I failed to take her life, it changed everything.
I don't want this woman in my life complicating how I live, but she's there at every turn. Her light is so bright, she provokes a shadow over me, altering my life forever.
When life drowns you in its cruelty, and you don't know which way the current will shift, you have to make a choice.
Who will you be once you re-surface?
