Post-dystopian Stories

After the world ends, a new one begins, becomes corrupt, and falls apart again. The Phoenix rises from the ashes, and somehow new societies re-emerge. (Post-dystopia, because we all know those horrible places are going to be overthrown and fall apart, but then what?) Meet Silas, a Misfit who has only ever known life in a bunker; Dahlia, his closest friend, who has loved him her entire life. And Ixlaina, a lovely, robot-programming mystery, who holds all the secrets of Phoenix- the city that should no longer exist- and some secrets of her own.

Jeter Harkin...A boy with a broken heart and a dream to build a mechine escape from a programmed society. He's a loner, but one day he meets her. Her eyes sparkle with something that sets her apart from the norm. No, he wants nothing to do with her. Emery Sterling...This world was so dull. The empty locket around her neck reminded her of that after her life turns over. The dreams that haunted her were not any help. She can't tell anyone in fear of stepping outside the norm. The norm that everyone lived in.

This is just an experimental, scifi, short story I wrote a couple years ago. I was thinking about how we write stories and just like why? Why do we do it the way we do? Why does it have to be inner thinking, action, dialogue and description? So I decided to try to write a story with only dialogue. So read it, let me know what you think, maybe I'll write some more short stories.

In the aftermath of a robotic invasion over the human species on Earth, a group of people created a new world on a different planet. Since the robots are a failed idea, they created machines to produce humans using the raw materials required to create life, and named them Perfects and called themselves the Lords of this new world. These Perfects are humans who are produced by machines that remove their thinking of freewill and freedom, thereby obeying the Lords' orders without going against them. But nothing is perfect! The machines occasionally leave the produced humans with a glitch and that gives the Glitchers, freewill. The Lords want them to be dead but they eventually create a place for the Glitchers to live, so that the Lords can study their behaviour and assess the threat that these types of glitches may cause. Also, the people produced in this world are only males. All the knowledge from Earth is hidden to the Glitchers. Now, the Glitchers live in various towns in the Glitchers' land called Errania and each town has rules of its own. There is nothing called as a family here. The life of Glitchers is miserable. So, will they find a way for happiness?

Someone set a landmine in ambush for the Library vehicle, a mobile repository of information saved from before the War. A beacon of knowledge in the ashes of civilisation, and my sole responsibility. Someone tried to take it from me. To stop the flow of free information. To steal from the people scratching out a living on the dusty frontier, just one cloudship delivery away from desiccation. Now, other Keepers are missing. And not just Keepers. People have been disappearing from camps and settlements scattered across the outback. Why didn't we know about it? The Library is supposed to know everything. That's its whole purpose, to save and share knowledge. Isn't it? I have to warn New Pearth. After all, this is what I was trained for.

Contains medium violence, mild language and drug references. Suitable for ages 13 and older.
