Dystopian-fiction Stories

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

In Midwest America taken over by AI and robotics, a 12-year-old girl sets out to find her mom and uncle, who were taken for the high crime of stealing water. This story has been my way of working through my anxieties about the present and codifying my hopes for the future. May be all be a little more discerning and a little more kind. Posting daily for the first week, then weekly until it's done. Thanks for joining me on this ride! Special thanks to my wife Amanda for her feminine perspective. I literally would not/could not write this story without her.

Her greatest test is yet to come... In their final year of high school, all children must take The Test. They cannot prepare for it, do not know what it involves. They don't even know it is a test. None of the previous years have ever come back to talk about it. Each child, boy or girl, is ushered into a white room with no other furniture than a white chair and white table. They are asked questions meant to test their intelligence by a recorded machine but given no time limit. The ones that pass are elevated into higher levels of education; the ones who don't are thrown out on the streets and left to die. This is the story of one girl who failed The Test. Her time on the streets is not an easy one-her parents disowned her the moment they found out, and she has been on the run from the secret police almost from the minute she got there, but she doesn't know why. She doesn't know that in reality, she did not fail the test. She aced it.

They were told it was routine. Seventeen teenagers from seven countries. Different cities, different lives, one needle, administered in the kind of clean, credentialed clinic that governments endorsed and parents trusted. They went home. They went to sleep. They woke up different. Myra Sanches was never supposed to be at the center of anything. Seventeen, sharp-tongued, and quietly devastating to anyone who underestimated her, she had already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime when the wrong door opened, and she walked through it. What happened to her body after the injection was not a gift. It was not a blessing. It was evidence of a plan that predated her by more than a decade, of a corporation that decided what she was for before she was old enough to decide anything for herself, of a facility beneath a building that did not appear on any public record, where teenagers from six other countries were waiting. The lights were always on, and no one was coming. No one, that is, except them. The Onyx Project is a dark, character-driven sci-fi novel about identity, power, and what it means to be called a weapon when all you have ever wanted is to be a person. It does not flinch from its casualties. It does not promise that survival means safety. It is told across five parts, in a building with no windows, by people who found their way out of it anyway. No one is coming to save them. So they will have to save themselves. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Among the displayed sorts of imagery, there leaves me: Arya Holloway. On the series of JumboTrons in all its multicolored glory, flashes my criminal report.

After the world collapsed, the government formed a new country called Imperium. It was cruel and strict, and the kids and teens didn't like one bit. So, they ran away or committed suicide. Now, parents and older siblings control every teen under 18. Tracking your thoughts and saying what you can do, this is how parents solved the problem of teens running away. If your thoughts or actions were thought to be leading up to you running away, you were sent to a facility where you were kept until you were 18. They erased all of your memories so you wouldn't do it again. The teens hate this, but don't want to get caught so they play along Willow's overprotective family (mostly mom) refuses to let her out except for school and approved activities - which means no friends or social life for Willow. Willow's parents are the leaders of the company who started all of this, so they expect Willow to be perfect. But she's not and has had enough of them controlling every one of her moves - so she makes a choice. She runs away. Seems impossible with all the technology parents are using to keep their kids close to them, but Willow has a few tricks up her sleeve. Not even knowing how to drive (that well), she takes off. What she doesn't expect us that there is someone else in the car.

"I was born into Abnegation. We believe in selflessness. Always thinking of others before ourselves and living our lives away from vanity; hence the mirror rule.

A Divergent AU in which everyone belongs somewhere and Harry Styles finds himself searching for safety and identity in a society that is out to kill him. The only source of security he has is in a boy who seems to both avoid and protect him. Copyright © 2014 ivorysmoke

This is a story I wrote the majority of daily, as part of NaNoWriMo 2013. The concept for the story is one that I have been considering for a while. Earlier this year, I wrote about 3000 words on the subject as part of our Wattpad HQ Writeathon, and that work can be found under "Wattpad Writeathon 2013: Skyward". However, I wanted to start fresh for NaNoWriMo, so I have created this story to capture my progress through November.
