Hi! This is my first story here, and I'm still getting the hang of it, so wish me luck!

(Also please note the autocorrect on this device doesn't function properly so be prepared for a few weird mistakes.)

Here we go!

My name is Reese Fletcher. I'm a sort of geeky person - computers, phones, tvs, you name it; I can fix it, and give you an annoying geeky joke about it.

I  tend to get A's and A*'s an all my tests, and my social life is pretty good (more like barely adequate), so you could say my life is dangerously close to perfect.

But then something happened, a couple of months ago, that changed my life forever.

Th​at's exactly why you need to read this. Your very existence depends on it. So if you want the chance to live 'till your next birthday, DO NOT STOP READING.

They're coming.

Short Story Content Descriptions:

Issue One - "Executable Forgiveness" (Drama, Sci-fi) - Estin is the first robot to be given agency; that is to say, given full human rights. However, his project is called into question after he's hacked and his integrity is compromised. Can he convince his wife it was only a one-off?

Issue Two - "Love on a Bed of Leaves and Letters" (Drama) - Julius Pessoa struggles with his guilt over the death of his young wife and his indecision to receive the gift she has left him in her craft room. Fall is a time of melancholy, but it is also one of promised renewal...

Issue Three - "In the Garden" (Sci-fi, Time Travel) - Dr. Leandra Hayes meets with her long-time colleague and ex-lover, Terence Whitaker, to approve a new companion-model robot he's about to release. When Lean meets Ema though, her understanding of reality is ripped apart.

My name is Stavrov. A soldier of the last human resistance force called the Earth Liberation Force fighting an enemy that came from the unknown abyss of space. This is our story. 

Many years after the post-environmental apocalypse and the reconstruction of civilization and nature, the world populations united as one nation, " the Federal Republic of New Hope", ruled by one government with the slogan "Freedom, Peace, and Justice."

Mankind can be the builder and the destroyer. This is the same old loop. People believed in the world they promised to see; however, some group of human mysteriously gained the special gift. On ther other hand, it became their curse when the government alienated them from normal people. "H01 Case: is the abbreviation of their strange symptom and "the Risk" refers to those who have the symptom. Under the Act 2966, anyone who had been judged to the Risk and the Suspect or the corrupted human must be healed.

In San Bosa, a small district of Irina State, Alexis Davis was a girl whose future shone brightly. One day, everything turn upside down. She was arrested and convicted as the Suspect. The girl was sent to the rehabilitation program with her friends. There, they were caged in the seem-to-be futuristic paradise where the other captives resided together until the proper time for the experiment. No one knew how and which method the authority would apply to test with them. Alexis started to question herself.

What really happened during the post-apocalypse and the after?

What the purpose of this?

What will happen to them?

No one can answer.

She must discover it by herself.

This is a normal version without any mature content and less violent for all types of readers.

Far, far away, a long, raw-throated scream sounded across the bridge. The call immediately followed up by all the animal-humans surrounding the small circle of teenagers, the sound followed by the tide of ferals.

In a future where Mankind drove itself mad, a secretive and powerful organization attempts to restart the legacy of the human race. Fixated on creating a new world and society, they will not stop at anything, including experimenting on a batch of children to create the central figures on the dawn of a new beginning. Children that will be the progenitors of the new mankind.

One of them, Marcus finds that he will have to fight against his very purpose to ensure that Mankind will not lose it's humanity.

Earth had become stale, on the verge of uninhabitable. We had conquered space travel to the darkest reaches of space. But, as humans usually are, they become curious, then greedy. Once the Andromeda Galaxy was fully explored, the people of earth fled to  colonize a new planet. They chose a little blue planet that seemed to be teeming with life. The planet was almost like earth. The inhabitants as well were as humanoid as can be. The humans of earth had heard of this distant planet, Oasis. Heard of it's magnificent beauty, abundance of plant and wildlife. All kept on this small planet. In the beginning there was peace as well as intermingling of the species. It was  a beacon to all life in that small sector of Andromeda. But, eventually, no one really knows why, but the planet Oasis began to change. It lost its color, it's life. The land became red and dusty,  akin to the planet mars. The last of the inhabitants of Oasis perished, except for the Umlilos. A race as old as the planet itself was the last living creatures as  the planet began to slowly die off. Years later, Oasis was colonized, inhabited by earth humans and other beings. A thriving metropolis in a small capital of the world, Poseidon. Welcome, to the new Oasis.

In the future, the line between the real world and virtual reality has begun to blur. Dominated by the elites, regular citizens are subject to mandatory psychological examinations the results of which can lead to their imprisonment...or even death. After the first murder in decades, a young woman must try to solve a series of seemingly familiar homicides, and at the same time trying to answer the question: what does it mean to remain sane?

Your standard post apocalyptic setting: Ash covers the earth, a small community hunkers down in an old power station tower and a girl from the past with bright blue eyes awakens, blind to the world around her. Joined by a gang of not so talkative survivors and one very talkative one, they must traverse this bleak grey world, devoid of colour, and maybe in the process inject a bit of life back into it. Because when things are grey, all you can try and do is see the bright side. Course it's not always so easy.

The Doulosi must be contained.

They operate technology with thoughts alone. They bend electricity, water, and fire with simple gestures and commands. They shape the fabric of reality around them.

If the Doulosi cannot be controlled... then they must be divided.

A/N:I used to fantasize a lot about this as a kid, and I met people and we created this Island together, me, Valerie, Nanook, Luna, Esther, Daisy, Macey and Kasey. I've decided to turn it into a book. I've also decided to include a LOT of LGBTQ+ in it! 

--

A dark energy is consuming the island, slowly, and subtly. No one knows what it is, where it's coming from, or who's causing it.

These four teenagers, Talyn, Clint, Will, and Iris are supposed to protect the island. Can they do it? Or will they fail and let this darkness completely destroyed the cursed island?

The Doulosi must be divided.

They operate technology with thoughts alone. They bend electricity, water, and fire with simple gestures and commands. They shape the fabric of reality around them.

If the Doulosi cannot be divided... Mankind is surly doomed.

"Doulos magic is not going to save the world. There will be no saviors. There are no innocents to defend if we go to war... My mother will never accept that."

Beauregard Colette has been on his own for the last ten years, working as a research and development team lead at one of America's premiere tech companies, Kinigos Industries. He gave up his Free Doulosi identity all those years ago in order to survive in a world increasingly at odds with unregulated users of magic. He was content with his work, appreciating the company of artificial people over their fleshy counterparts.

Of course, his precious routine is upset when his mother, a very public Free Doulosi leader figure, invites him back to the fold for a peaceful family gathering where it is assumed all the Free Doulosi royalty will be grouped together for the first time in nearly two decades. Under orders to funnel all information back to the Interceptor Corps, Beau is sponsored by his company to take Nina Colette up on her offer--as a show of good faith in his human overlords, if nothing else.

But Beau knows what his mother really wants, and it isn't peace.
