GREEN [complete] by cogesque
39 parts Complete Mature
Sekam, a shape-shifting demigoddess, and her guardian, the fourth creator good, wander a neon green toxic wasteland left in the wake of biowarfare while humankind cowers. To restore her true form, Sekam must find a cure. When she saves Dylan, a biohacker who knows more than they are letting on, her path becomes clear. Mars wants to see the world and experience everything it has to offer him, but he can't do that from inside a glass cage locked away in a laboratory. A failed attempt to create a better weapon with partial immunity to the green, Mars is a lab experiment whose cells are routinely reprogrammed to test new algorithms and their response to the green. And they're all supposed to come together and save the world. We'll see about that. Rough draft for NaNoWriMo.

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking my story out. I just wanted to mention that this is definitely a work in progress, and if I've made mistakes, or you think I should have done something different, let me know, I'm always trying to improve. Anyway, time for the pitch! After getting banished from the city she grew up in, Tach must survive the frozen apocalyptic wasteland, and the bizarre and terrifying creatures that call it home. Shortly after her banishment, she meets Mio, a six-foot tall mechanical toy rabbit, who promises to protect her. But something about him leaves Tach ill at ease.

It's the near future and Will, supported purely by the Universal Basic Income, spends his days playing video games while devouring piping hot noodles, delivered straight to his room by roaming DeliveryBots. Gamers are starving to death, but Will's more focussed on showing he's the best strategist in the world, and to do that he needs the help of his new autonomous flying selfie camera. One problem: the SelfieBot insists it's not a robot at all, but a human consciousness trapped inside a machine. To uncover the truth, he must sneak past automated robot guards with bad cockney accents, avoid lasers from swooping DefenceBots, escape explosions from anti-automation activists, outwit two murderous brothers, and flee from a human resources director hell-bent on exacting revenge on her cheating boss. He might even get to eat those piping hot noodles.
