When the core of a Utopian society starts to question their own ways the community is thrown into chaos. This is basically part of "The Giver" told in the Givers point of view. It was supposed to capture the voice of a wise, tired old man. It was another school project that I decided to share. Hope you like it :)

Defcon 1
After the world fell, survival became a war of attrition. Clean water became currency. Morality became weakness. The government collapsed, and in its wake, chaos took root. Humanity didn't just fail---it adapted to failure. Varryance Preez was once a soldier. Now he's something else---an unwilling experiment trapped in a mountain facility, used by what's left of the government in a desperate search for a cure to the two man---made plagues that shattered the world. Inside him: a parasite that refuses to let him die. No matter how hard they try. But fate intervenes in the form of a masked mercenary---labeled a terrorist, shaped by war, and cursed with the same infection. He wasn't sent to free Varryance. And yet... he did. That moment rewrote everything. Now, hunted by the same forces that created them, both men walk a dying world---one seeking purpose, the other driven by a burden he never asked for. Their actions will drag hidden truths into the light and expose the last breath of a government too corrupt to stay buried. DEFCON 1 is a brutal post-apocalyptic thriller about duty, identity, and what happens when humanity becomes its own worst enemy.
Riddle V.I.Z.ion
Instead of immediately blowing himself up, Quiz makes the questionable choice to try and talk Diz out of doomsday. Things go very differently from there. In the wake of the project's destruction, Phil is left to wrestle with the aftermath of his greatest adventure, and the aliens struggle to live with each other. - A look at the 'why' of project V.I.Z.ion, the psyches of three violent extraterrestrials, and revisiting childhood trauma that was really really fun at the time. Who are we without the things we live for? (aka 'Seriousifying Riddle School: The Fic'.) Blanket content warnings for complicated relationships, descriptions of violence, death, surgery, and critical injury. This story meant a lot to me, so I finished it. Against sense, reason, and the will of god.Complete
Pessimism (Book One)
"Ian." Mother's sweet voice called out to me. "Ian?" She called again. I opened my eyes. I could hear the warming sound of her voice. I knew she wasn't there. It was all just a hallucination. She died a long time ago, or at least that's what I was told. The ones I held so dear, we're slowly, but surely drifting from me. Ian, a 17 year old boy, is lost in thought after another dear someone is taken from him. Experiments is what make up this Utopia and one is yet to know what truly goes on in Efthalia. Secrets and lies builds on this country and Ian is yet to find that who killed his father is who wants to kill him. As he unravels secrets in his own hallucination, Ian awakes as the lost sorcerer. The sorcerer who will take back humanity for what it once was. To live in a society not perfect, but happy. For happy is not perfect. For surely this is one adventure he will never forget. ~Pessimism~Complete
