The world was separated into two when the world's two smartest scientist couldn't agree on whether humans behaved better if they knew how they would die versus when. The "How"s know from the day they were born how they were going to die, and the "When"s knew the exact year, month, time, day, minute... second... that their life will end. 

Each citizen in "How" is forced to get the tattoo in a certain area for their gender: inner thigh for the men, and under their breasts for the women..  Each citizen in "When" has a countdown on the inner wrist of their dominant hand. 

Which one is truly better? Knowing how you will die, or when? And does this truly make us the better humans?

Note: Right now I am in the midst of editing chapters before I can continue the story. Sorry I have left it for so long, but I will be continuing my work very shortly.

Who We Were autorstwa EmelySwift
36 części Opowieść Zakończona Dla dorosłych
It's not been an easy year. Not in the slightest. But things are slowly returning to some kind of fucked up normality I guess. Though even this is better than 8 months ago so I'll take the slight improvement. One other person's lapse of judgement has altered my life in way's I'll never really understand but this is my life now. I know I'll be okay. I have to be. 16 other people weren't okay. I was. By some chaotic otherworldly reasoning beyond my control, I'm okay. I'm ALIVE. Fucked in the head or not, I'm not letting it stop me. ~~~ Aria Clarke hasn't had the best year of her life. When one fateful night, she turns into an underpass and her car is dead center of a huge collision, killing everyone on sight but her. Almost a full year into her recovery, after spending 9 months being judged and tormented, swallowing pills to numb the effects, therapy appointments and learning to live her life with her new scars, she craves normality. Anything. Just one person to treat her how she used to be. When one of her closest friend drags her on a double date, that's the plan. Normal. Be normal. As Cameron spends his weeks with Aria, her walls crumble and she lets him in, showing him the darker side to her life and when he embraces it with open arms, things couldn't be more perfect. One accident later and Aria's world is flipped on it's head, sending her down a path that leads her 10,000 miles across the world and into the arms of her oldest friend. The years pass and with a new thriving life in her hands, Aria has a choice to make. Do you favour the people you knew in the past, or the ones who barely know the current you? After 4 years, no one really is the same as who they were.
Diamond: The Promise autorstwa Daybreakwritess
67 części Opowieść Zakończona Dla dorosłych
Ethan + Iria, until death do us apart and we meet in hell. You could say it was the original promise, the one they got tattooed on their skin and, above the hundreds of things they had ever promised each other, promised once again not to break. It should be a different promise. It should have a different meaning but... Does it really? It's been nine months. Nine months full of nightmares and pain where Iria and Ethan seemed to forget about every promise. Their friendship seemed insurmountable after the months of coldness until Ethan makes an important decision that will turn the tables of the situation they are living. One last promise, save Iria from her sadness. It didn't seem as hard at first but then Ethan realizes his friend's critical situation. He can just rely on the memories from when they were kids, on all those things that once distracted them from a bad childhood, such as The Neighbourhood's songs, blanket forts or irrational plans during getaways. What Ethan didn't remember was how good his best friend kissed. Can Ethan save his best friend from her grief without changing his feeling or decision at all? Can Iria get finally over her Wonder Boy and accept Ethan's help without screwing the only precious thing she has left, Ethan's friendship? Can Ethan and Iria learn to love again or will they stay in the past forever? -------- FULLY COMPLETED (62 Chapters + Prologue + 2 Epilogues) Book 2 in the Rough Diamonds series. ***Book 1 --> "Diamond: The Original"***
Three Degrees Of Danger (2019) autorstwa -tropicalminds
13 części Opowieść Zakończona Dla dorosłych
[ 2019 ONC ambassador's pick and ONC shortlister ] The three degrees of Danger are as follows: Denial. You pretend that it's not there and you lie to yourself that it'll pass. It won't. The second stage is evolution. You tell yourself that the worst is over but you're gradually changing inside, slowly adapting to the new environment. The final degree of Danger is succumbing to temptation. You give up listening to your fading instincts, give in to the voices in your head and you give it your all. Because the world is changing and if you don't change with it, you're dead by daylight. *** Danger is a virus that is spreading through everybody's Software. It turns you insane, kills your moral compass. No one knows where it came from or how to stop it but one thing is clear- nothing will ever be the same. In a world where it's kill or be killed, you can't just stay on your toes and pray that you will survive. Murder is crucial if you want to live. These are the rules that Vic lives by as she races up the social ladder, ready to clinch the only thing that will vindicate her- the position of an Elite Killer, a title only given to the best serial killers. It is only when she meets a mysterious boy who refuses to play by the rules of society even when it means inevident death, does she start to challenge the system. In a world where mercy does not exist, Vic has to stop the deadly massacres without getting assasinated before the basic laws of a functioning civilisation starts to break down. Or is it already too late?

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos autorstwa artsykid04
15 części Opowieść Zakończona Dla dorosłych
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm. So if you feel uncomfortable with reading about that.. this book is not for you.

38 części Opowieść Zakończona

When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.
