Queen

-Veronica Therese

'For without organ a body cannot function, but without a leader we are a crumbled society, lost in our minds and at war with ourselves.'

In a world once torn apart by war, the rules are too much for Liberty and her family to handle. When their actions result in the death of her mother, Liberty will cherish every moment she has with her father, not realising that that moment might be the last. After everything she loves is taken from her, she must make a choice, whether to sit back and dwell in her misery, or to avenge her parent's deaths. Will Liberty risk more than what she has for those she loves?

Thing

-Strawberry_Cream1928

No, no, you must be confused. Sometimes, humans get confused about me. They think I am one of them.

I am not human. I am Thing. 

..........................

The Hollow People

-Indigo_Night

Eleni Markova has never felt emotion before: no happiness, no sadness, no anger, and no fear. She is one of the Hollow People, a group that came about a hundred years ago when a virus swept over the world, decimating the population and leaving only a fraction of people uncontaminated. Most of the contaminated died, and the few that recovered from the plague were changed forever. Their genes were altered, and they lost their ability to feel emotion

Now, a hundred years after the Hollow Virus, the only remaining human civilization thrives under the leadership of the Hollow People, and Eleni, a member of the City Guard, is a prime example of what a Hollow Person should be. But when terrorists attack the city, Eleni begins to experience what she never believed she could: fear. The foreign emotion runs rampant though her, causing her to flee for her life and abandon her post.

With the city in chaos, Eleni must either trust her newfound emotions and a con artist named Oliver or let her home be destroyed.

The Code

-pictureXthisX

The year was 2065 c.e, and the world collapsed from over population. After the collapse and many years of war, a suspiciously survivable company called the Achilles created its own police force known as the Patrolmen to take control. Designations hold the key to bringing down the company, and Alex is one such lucky candidate. Through her struggle to accept her purpose, she learns the truth behind the Achilles and the importance of stopping them. 

The path to end the company is filled with many obstacles, and not just from the Patrolmen. Avoiders, Vagabonds, genetically altered creatures and other dangers are there to stop her and her friends from finishing their mission.

Mila's Shift

-Danielle Forrest

One call. Mila answered one call.       

An accident of birth has left her on the run since the world discovered people like her existed. Off the grid, she gets a call from an old friend. She answers.      

Now, her friend is dead, and she's taken her place on a deceptively old space ship. But the people who killed her friend think she's still alive, and they're gunning for Mila, who's borrowed her face.      

Can she get away with it?      

With a Captain increasingly suspicious, security personnel dogging her every move, and an assassin lurking somewhere on board, an assassin who could be anyone, will she survive long enough to figure out why her friend was killed?

Three Shades of Black

-Matthew Thrush

Not even death can save you now.

Shiver

-stardust24601

 ❝long live the state ;;

A decade ago, when humanity got out of control, seven leaders made a decision that would change the world forever. They recruited scientists, engineers, and all the smartest people they could get their hands on to create a natural disaster that would shroud the world in an eternal winter.

Thus, they started anew- they gathered up the survivors, and from the rubble of what was once Prague, they rebuilt their glass empire.

Evanna Frior is one of three million people who survived the storm- but she's not human. A genetic experiment gone wrong, she is the representation of vengeful psychopathy- and the only thing standing in the way of the government as it strives towards one unanimous goal: perfection.

                                                                                                   -- long live perfection.❞

De-ac-ti-vated

-Matthew Thrush

I was in Biology 101 when the sirens went off.

We were herded in single file to the buses that escorted us to the loading docks twenty miles away. Once there, I got dislocated from my group and watched as they boarded the space pod I was meant to be on. Several minutes later, airborne and on their way to space, the white pod exploded into a ball of flame and ash.

Lost in the whims of guilt and relief, I joined another group on a separate pod. Ten minutes later, I looked down upon the Blue Planet for what could very well be the last time. It was not sorrow that I felt for her, but fear.


De-ac-ti-vated tells the story of how Earth perished and its inhabitants were forced to flee into the black unknown of space. But leaving Earth was only the beginning. No one could have fathomed what the deep black of the cosmos held for them.

Epilogue

-ColumnatedRuins

The world is dead. Gone. Peeled away, like dead skin. Underneath, lies the nothing: a void between worlds, the sole occupants of which are malevolent shadow beings called glowdarks.

Only a select number of individuals possess the ability to peel their way into new worlds; they are the rippers. And Em is one of them. He can sense the "rips" scattered throughout each dimension and use them to peel through to the next world. But as Em and his group of survivors peel through world after world, battling glowdarks, zombies, and even gods, they discover that their world is not the only one that has ended. Everywhere they go, worlds are dying off, one by one.

And it's up to them to find out why.

If "The Walking Dead" were a young adult fantasy with dimension-hopping and shadow monsters, it might look something like this. Communities will be formed. Alliances will be broken. The road to survival will be paved with blood and entrails.

And death lurks behind every rip.

Screen Time

-Aileen Rose

Before that winter, Clara had been a normal teenage girl. She spent about twelve hours a day using one of her family's many computers on an OnLife site. She'd never seen any of her friends in person. She'd hardly ever cracked a window or door. She'd never even left her own home. 

And why would she need to? Everything she could ever ask for was just a mere touch or simple command away from somewhere OnLife. Her necessities, her education, her career, her wants, and all the money she owns is all OnLife.

But that's about to change...

Somehow, one little mistake puts the US government on her tail. Clara has no choice but  to leave her home and family to flee into the unknown, where she has to rely on instinct and make careful choices. Along the way, she makes interesting discoveries and is forced to wonder if everything she's ever known is real, or just a lie.

Project: Yggdrasil

-Rachel Brick

The year is 2174. In a world sapped of resources and ravaged by disasters both natural and man-made alike, Helix Labs is a beacon of scientific and technological advancement with just one mission in mind - using their skills and knowledge to make life better for as many people as they can.

As a genetically engineered soldier born and raised in the Helix: Genomics Labs, Morrighan has a relatively unique skill. But it's not enough to prevent a sudden catastrophic attack on her home. After escaping the massacre, her world in shambles, she designates one purpose for herself - find out and expose who killed her family and friends.

Fragments

-icicleblue

To break down into fragments
To float in the air
To feel the wind rushing against you
To escape the body you wear

Mireya lives in an era that is endangered by the fatal Mist, one that has slowly crawled its way from the center of the Earth towards neighboring cities and has engulfed them whole. It is approaching WestCity where Mireya lives and not even the advanced technology of the City can stop it from crumbling them down. The governing Scientists say they are manufacturing a cure by experimenting on young Mireya but are they really doing what they say they are? Mireya has doubts and she is bent on confirming them when suddenly, she becomes what the Scientists are hunting. She becomes a Fragment.

Lives are at stake, a whole City left vulnerable to the hands of the Mist. Will Mireya survive the Shatter and become whole again to save what is one fifth of the human population left?

Glass is a material to be handled with caution. One slip and it breaks. One touch and it cuts. Heated too much, it bursts.

It is not just the lives of humans that is at stake but also their humanity that must not be lost on the way.

Enhanced and Broken

-axhahaha

In school, we learned about the world before the End. People didn't have to think about whether or not they would live to tomorrow. There was time for fun, for entertainment. There were even things called amusement parks. Life during then seems like a fantasy to us, too ideal for the conditions now. People during the Golden Times had it easy.

Now, it's no longer easy. Those people hadn't thought about the future generations, about how we would live. Those people hadn't thought about the future generations, about how we would live. It never occurred to them that resources on Earth would soon be reduced dramatically, or that the air would soon be so contaminated that if one breathed in it for too long, they'd die.

Now, we have to clean up the messes that they left behind. Because they were so irresponsible, we have to pay the price. Can we really do this? Is it possible for us to fix the environment? Or will Earth soon recover on its own, only to find itself uninhabited?

I don't know. Quite frankly, I don't think we can do this.

She Who Knows Tomorrow

-Cara Lee

Third's clutch escaped their home universe years ago, long before she, the youngest of them, was old enough to legally take a name and to stop having to risk herself to keep others alive. She's still too young for that, and the alternate version of herself that she lives with calls her "Kitten".

First and Second, the other survivors in her clutch, live elsewhere. They've been delayed joining the Named so they won't leave her behind again...and they've been breaching the laws that Nameless are required to adhere to so they won't be liabilities.

Now their home universe has caught up to them, and they'll have to pay the price.

Once a new vamp, Hector, targets her for his favorite new hobby, things start to get weird....and dangerous.

Aira the newcomer.

Aira the writer.

Aira the survivor.

In a futuristic world where the original pencil and paper are banned, children are taught that "new technology" is something to use, and nothing else. 

     Aira Latch grew up differently, in a different village in a different school, and has always known that the simple pencil and paper were what was easiest to use. 

     When Aira's village is bombed, she, her mother, and Mr. Graplin from across the road are the only ones to survive. Seeking refuge, they visit the technology obsessed town, hoping to be welcomed. And, although they are allowed to stay there, pencil and paper is not tolerated inside the wooden doors. 

     Aira, trying to make a difference, tries to show them the wonders of the pencil and paper, the simplicity, the enjoyment that could come from it, but it starts something that she could never take back.
