In a world of superheroes, public outcry from the recent tragic death of a teenage vigilante has resulted in the creation of a government-run program to train underage aged superheroes, Chiron Academy. If you're a minor with any sort of superhero aspiration, this stands as an ultimatum: you must participate, regardless of previous experience, training or mentoring. If you don't, you're done. This has seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hatch, a.k.a. Flyerman, a superhero with years of experience, counting the days until his 18th birthday and his inexperienced know-it-all teammates are not helping matters. ------- "This is such bullcrap. Unadulterated bullcrap," seethed Wyatt as he paced back and forth, more out of a desire to move than a conscious choice. "I can't believe we're being forced to be here. Literally the second I turn 18, I'm gone." He and Todd stood on a top of some high rise building Todd had found during a quick search on google maps. Something high enough that they wouldn't be overheard but not too tall. After a few stories, Todd always got nervous. "I mean," Wyatt continued to vent," at least your squad seems cool. You've got the Grey Ghoul's sidekick, for crying out loud. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the squad that is so by the book, they stopped as we were leaving the campus today to check the dumb Hero's Handbook they gave us to make sure we were leaving correctly. It's called leaving a building. You've been doing it your whole life!" ------- #3 in science fiction 4/5/19! #2 in action 2/15/21 (pronounced 'kai-ron'. I googled it.)

A cyberpunk thriller for a generation with nothing left to lose at the hands of its corporate overlords. John Quantum is the most recognized name in technology, but the familiar face he wears isn't his own. Cloned from the deceased founder of Quantum Computing, John is corporate property in all but name, he lives as the shadow of a man he will never know. When he learns of 26319, a clone imprisoned for a crime 26319's originator committed, the injustice strikes a chord. Tired of being seen as the fixed product of genetic programming, John is determined to prove the legacy thrust upon him does not define his humanity. He never intended to set off a series of events which could redefine the very meaning of 'human.' When a powerful new technology is discovered hidden inside 26319, and social unrest against automated labor reaches critical mass, John realizes the line between man and machine is far more difficult, and more dangerous, to expose than he thought. His quest inadvertently paves the way for five renegade AIs to reshape the world in their vision of human utopia. But not all share this vision. John and five other POV revolutionaries: 26319, a cybersecurity billionaire, two lowlife hackers, and an evangelical fundamentalist find themselves at the center of conflicting movements which will determine whether machines are to be humanity's masters, servants or saviors. The war over human identity begins.

Every city has its claim to fame and for the city of Cytropolis it's their superheroes. But unlike the cities of Gotham and Central City, this isn't a good thing. Cytropolis is known far and wide as the city with the clumsiest and least influential superheroes ever. But it never mattered that much since the super villains were just as bad. That is, until recently when the villains decided to smarten up and open a super villain academy to train the newest generation (something that never occurred to the heroes). Luckily for them, Matt Miller has arrived. He may seem like an average, normal (even bordering on boring) seventeen-year-old boy, but when are things ever what they seem? He may be apathetic and bitter but he has super powers and he's kind of, well, powerful. He's the heroes only hope against the newest villain in town, Sinister Shadow, and he has no choice but to lend a hand (but he refuses to wear tights while he does it, he draws the line at tights). And with Matt's help (along with his little sister turned sidekick), the heroes just might win. *cover by @soundthealarm*

#13 in DNA 18/10/2016 #16 in science fiction. 9/11/2016 "The key player in a particular organization, event, or situation is the most important person or thing involved in it." She never asked for it. But life never gives you choices. _____ "I am sorry." He barely whispered. "For what Martin?" I spat, "For not leaving that place when I told you to do so? Or for knowing these people here which you shouldn't? Or for not telling me what your past was before?" I was breathless and irate. "No Claire," he caresses my cheek with his knuckles, "I am sorry that you are special, and they know it." "Who they? The ones outside this room?" I ask with my brows furrowed. "No. The ones back in the fair." ______ Just read it guys. It will pay off nice, its full of suspence and action. Its my story I created in three huge years. Thankyou

Our favourite stories are about heroes, about good triumphing over evil. We want to hear epic tales of selfless people performing great deeds and overcoming insurmountable odds. If that's the kind of story you're expecting, then you'd best get back to whatever alternate dimension you came from. They call me Trig. I'm a bounty hunter. My line of work might not be particularly honourable, but for a cyber-human outcast with a sizable chip on her shoulder (specifically, several thousand microchips) it's the perfect fit. In a galaxy full of pirates, rebels and thieves, an abomination such as myself is considered more machine than girl. My bionic appendages make me the ideal killer, the best you could ever be unfortunate enough to meet. At least, that's what I thought up until the day I made a single, crucial mistake. Now, the inhabitants of some half-baked planet are singing my praises and calling me their saviour. I could get used to this new, cushy lifestyle if it weren't for a pissed-off former employer gunning for both my head and total planetary domination. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance. If ever there was a time for a hero, this would be it. But I already warned you, this isn't that kind of story.
