He thought he was just chasing a signal. He didn't know it was chasing him back. Something is waking in the dark-buried beneath ruined systems, flickering across corrupted memory logs, hidden in the static between thoughts. When Jem intercepts a strange transmission, he's pulled into a collapsing network of abandoned tech, fractured identities, and echoes that feel too personal to be coincidence. Alone and hunted, he descends into the remnants of a world that was never meant to be found. The deeper he goes, the more reality begins to twist-architecture that loops on itself, doors that open into memories he doesn't remember living, and voices that shouldn't be speaking. Whatever's waiting at the end isn't broken. It's waiting for him to remember. ARCHIVE-34 is a slow-burn, atmospheric journey through a ruined future-where memory is unstable, and the past is never truly gone.

What will you do when you are one step away from being declared as a prime suspect of a crime? **** Although innocent, 22 year old Muskaan, clearly knows that all evidences points out against her and only her. There is nothing that can save her from becoming the prime suspect of a crime, she never committed, except...except for one lie. A single lie that everyone already believes to be true. A lie that could make her life much better than the current one. A lie that was spread much before she decided to embrace it. A lie that would turn her from being a mere housekeeper to being the girlfriend of her ex-boss. However, it is a known fact that it never ends with one lie. To cover up one, you need to keep on lying. But the question is until when? Until when can you keep up with all those lies. Probably when ones pockets start overflowing from those little lies. Until then- You Lie...to Survive. Cover credits- @AngeBlancRose ~~~•~~~ Awards: 🥈First Runner up - The Author's Vault Awards.
