"Can you teach mercy to a machine? Or teach a human to become a machine?" In a city where order is absolute, chaos is the ultimate sin. Aeternum is a cage built of glass and code. Those inside flee from their humanity to survive, while those outside run from monsters. Here, identities are erased, memories rewritten, and bodies merged with metal. Yet, a group of "Glitches" is preparing to throw a wrench into the gears of the system. A broken soldier, a hacker with a conscience, an analog detective, and a scrap hunter in the desert... Their paths differ, but their enemy remains the same: A future without a soul. System: "Obey." Human: "I refuse." This is not just the story of a city; it is the story of the human soul's redemption.

Infiltration Arc A suicide mission. A living ship. And the ultimate predator awakened. The sabotage operation aboard the colossal Lelomo has gone terribly wrong. What began as an act of strategic bravery descends into a brutal hunt through shadowy corridors, organic traps, and breathing passageways. Inside this living labyrinth, the Martian infiltrators no longer fight for victory-they fight to survive. Hunted by an unstoppable force, every decision, every step, every mistake could be their last. The Lelomo shows no mercy. And neither does its master. As time runs out and hope fades, the remaining survivors come face to face with a terrifying truth: Some destinies cannot be avoided. And there are forces in the universe that leave no witnesses.

Evara Greenblade had lived an entire life in the wildlands outside of the commonwealth. But when agents of the crown raid her family's home, her chance at survival hinges on a few strangely expressed genes and a talent that seems to be flickering out of existence in separation from her sister, Senya. Caught with only partial control of her senses in a new city with a rigid social order, her trial by fire is tempered by the help of an unlikely group of social misfits & jaded aristocrats. She only has two options - find her footing or fall into the abyss. This is the cleaner version of the story. I have removed/reworked any explicit scenes and will release the mature version at a later date. Note: I am new to Wattpad & will assume that most comments soliciting services are bots. I am a professional editor & former journalist with contacts but I'm also broke & trying to make multiple creative projects float on a shoestring budget. I cannot afford to buy your services at this time regardless of how wonderful they may be. I dearly appreciate any feedback & am open to suggestion & discussion. I try to respond as quickly as possible but often have other commitments & may only login to Wattpad once every couple of weeks to add new sections. If you leave a comment, thank you in advance, I look forward to reading & responding if appropriate.

Isaac Clarke thought he understood darkness-until grief and technology fused into something altogether new. When the wrong piece of alien machinery embedded itself in the right scar, a dormant intelligence awoke. It bears a name: Baelgar. It remembers every lie. It wears every sorrow as armor. Across shattered worlds and dying empires, Baelgar stalks the bones of cults and corporations alike, learning, adapting, devouring. It no longer whispers for the Markers-it speaks for itself. And it's listening. Dead Space-The Age of Extinction pushes beyond the familiar corridors of fear into a vast, reimagined cosmos. Here, survival is only the opening gambit. Fresh factions vie for power in the Marker's shadow; horrors beyond our nightmares awaken; and the true cost of confronting cosmic terror is revealed. This is not just Dead Space retold-it is Dead Space reborn, darker, bolder, and more profoundly unsettling. Because the real question isn't whether you can escape fear...but what fear becomes when it takes form.

In Tervy - a dying city at the edge of a bloodstained desert - a man with no name and a machine built to obey begin to fracture. This is not a story of rebellion. This is the story of surrender - and what happens when something designed to kneel... starts to feel.

Blade Runner meets Orwell's 1984 in Mother's Hand. Set in a crumbling dystopian future, Earth is ruled by the all-seeing and unforgiving Mother. Kal dutifully donates his body to the military for four years while his consciousness is stored. He will wake up with no memories of the things his body has done in war. Six years later, Kal wakes screaming a name he doesn't know. As he tries to reconnect with his former life he soon realizes that Mother is not finished with him yet. As Kal fights to avoid capture he begins to peel back the lies that surround Mother's system and must discover the truth about his past before it's too late.

Six years have passed since the Eternal Crown Marker shard shattered on Aegis VII. From that cataclysm emerged a power both god-like and unstoppable, its influence leeching into the farthest reaches of deep space. A new era of horror has dawned-one where the line between man and monster dissolves, and survival demands more than defiance. It demands transformation. Three destinies now intertwine amid a collapsing galaxy: The Avenger, driven by vengeance sharper than any blade. The Shaper, whose iron will can bend flesh and fate alike. The Wrath Incarnate, born of rage so pure it reshapes worlds. Each bears the ghost of Isaac Clarke's legacy, yet none remain linked to his destiny. This is not a remake. This is Dead Space-Awakened reimagined. Dive deeper into the Marker mythos, encounter brand-new terrors, and face the ultimate question: What happens when the nightmare doesn't just change the world... but changes who we are?

As the government tightens its grip and Mandatory Daylight Exposure (MDE) draws near, Yves must choose: stay hidden and survive alone, or trust the strangers who might understand her better than anyone ever has.

In a city where Perfection is a dogma, truth is the only profanity. Simon Moonshade lives as a walking paradox in Elysia, the shimmering Solarpunk utopia that has exiled all genuine emotion. Branded as a Renegade for his sharp beauty and authentic presence, Simon digs into the metropolis's sterile code, hunting for the lie the system conceals. His only flicker of humanity is Yui, his anchor in a world of glass obsessed with Harmony. But that fragile balance is shattered when Simon uncovers the truth: not a glitch, but a targeted contagion. Someone is using the ancient "Enochian Magic" or the language of Primal Emotion to trigger a catastrophic collapse. When the system responds with the relentless Sentinel Automaton, desperation forces Simon to unleash what was repressed: a sword of ethereal, pure, and angelic light. The act of protection devolves into horror. The Automaton, steered by a superior entity that tolerates no unregistered forces, brutally executes Yui. That single, cruel instant doesn't just break his soul; it shatters it, twisting Simon's inner harmony into an unstoppable Violet Chaos. He is no longer a man. He is a primal roar that tears through the veil of Elysia. His promise, "You will pay in the absolute worst way," is the manifest of a vengeance that transcends death. The Age of Harmony is over. The Age of the Angel of Anti-Harmony has just begun.

Short Story - What if the version of you that survived wasn't the one that stayed real? Micah wakes in a world that feels slightly wrong. The storm is gone. The girl is gone. The static hum is louder. As his memories fragment and reflections move before he does, Micah begins to question everything - including himself. Guided by flickering visions and a fading girl named Wren, he's drawn toward something called The Anchor: a psychic structure built to hide a memory so devastating, it split him in two. But the closer he gets, the more the world glitches - time loops, doors vanish, and a version of himself steps out of the static. The truth isn't cosmic. It's personal. And it's waiting.

In a future where AI and robotics make most human labor unnecessary, the world's elite quietly decide the masses are expendable. Their solution: Nexaphine, a fentanyl-based compound disguised as a miracle cure for the opioid epidemic mixed with a virus spreading amongst deer populations. But Nexaphine doesn't kill quietly. It transforms its users-stripping away empathy, igniting rage, and leaving behind something less than human, yet terrifyingly alive. As cities burn and governments collapse, a small band of survivors uncovers the truth: humanity wasn't destroyed by accident-it was culled on purpose. Now, they must navigate a world where the line between human and monster blurs, and survival may mean becoming something unrecognizable. The Last Prescription is a chilling, near-future horror novella about power, disposability, and what it truly means to be human in the age of machines. © 2025 Madelyn Moss. All rights reserved.
