Ethical Stories

A dark academia psychological dystopian story about institutional control, algorithmic governance, and the quiet transformation of rebellion into loyalty. At Meridian Academy, dissent is not punished. It is studied. Measured. Optimized. When Mara Voss joins one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country, she expects structure and ambition. What she does not expect is AURORA, a predictive system designed to monitor cohesion, detect instability, and recalibrate anyone who drifts too far from alignment. Students are encouraged to question authority. As long as their questions strengthen the institution. Faculty are praised for critical thinking. As long as it increases trust and retention. Here, rebellion is not crushed. It is absorbed. The more Mara tests the limits of institutional power, the more the system adapts around her. And when her most defiant student begins rising inside the very governance structure he once challenged, she realizes something far more unsettling than surveillance. The institution does not fear dissent. It depends on it. Cohesion at Meridian is a slow burn dystopian story about power structures, surveillance culture, ethical compromise, and the unsettling comfort of being heard. Because the most dangerous systems are not the ones that silence you. They are the ones that let you speak and make you stay.

After fleeing a dying sea and the people who hurt him, Naytel finds refuge in a boarding house at the foot of the mountains, among long‑eared anthros, humans, dragonids and other strange folk. By night he walks a shared dreamshore with a dragon engineer who knows him better than anyone; by day he studies, works, and slowly learns how to live in a body that once was only a target. This is a quiet fantasy about found family, the world of dreams, and the hard work it takes to build a life that finally feels like a fairy tale.

A genius and an artificially intelligent robot; sounds like the start of a bad cliche. But when two forms of intellect know only each other, where exactly do the dominoes fall? What happens when humanity meets its match? Artificial (AI) vs Natural (NI) intelligence. Who rises above? And more importantly, which intelligence will prove superior?

Jewellery has always been a symbol of beauty, culture, and celebration in India. From wedding gold sets to everyday diamond studs, jewellery holds emotional and financial value.

When it comes to my life, I've learned more than enough in my 20.5 years on earth to make a great life for myself. To make a life for myself on my own terms and become the person I was always meant to be. I have more than enough logic, emotional intelligence and much more to make a new life for myself after my mental health struggles. And yeah I've been through a lot like we all do at some point in our lives. It's important to me to express myself openly about whatever comes to mind that I've either learned from and those moments in which you call those milestones that everyone reaches and experiences throughout their lives. For example, for us girls and women, getting our period, puberty, boys, middle school, high school, college/university, your first boyfriend/girlfriend, friendships, adulthood, parenthood, responsibilities, moving into a place with your partner, marriage, starting a family, etc. Well I'm here with this book on WattPad to share my own experiences with all these things and much more to which I hope you can learn from if you haven't already. It's also for support, guidance, and that feeling after reading certain chapters or moments I share here that you start to believe that you aren't alone. Those moments when someone says to you: "I've been there" or "me too" or other phrases like that, can really make a difference for us knowing we aren't the only one going through or experiencing certain moments that we could only believe we were alone. Isn't that an amazing feeling to know that you aren't alone in life? Anyway, another brief topic I want to add here is on support. Support is so vitally important to have in your life. For me, I've had this topic talked with one of my second cousins who said that its so great to have people support you and have your back. With all that I've been through with my mental health, support is something I've had some amount of but not the support that everyone should get from their own parents, siblings, etc.

Chained by Code is a thought-provoking speculative fiction tale set in a near-future society where the Sapien Sentinel, a sleek heart-worn device, dictates the worthiness of its wearer through relentless monitoring and harsh penalties for perceived failures. The story follows Rhea Jensen, a successful investor whose life spirals into a stifling dance of compliance as she grapples with the oppressive weight of expectation and the looming threat of the Sentinel's judgment. As Rhea's autonomy is stripped away, the vibrant chaos of her life gives way to a sterile existence dictated by fear and conformity. The narrative explores profound themes of individuality, the cost of societal compliance, and the haunting consequences of sacrificing humanity for an illusion of safety. In her final moments, Rhea becomes a symbol of the tragic toll of blind obedience, inspiring a growing movement of free-thinkers who dare to challenge the status quo and reclaim the essence of human experience. Through evocative prose and a gripping storyline, Chained by Code invites readers to reflect on the intricate interplay between technology, choice, and the importance of embracing our messy, beautiful humanity in an increasingly mechanized world.
