Jess, Jeremy, and Amanda grew up under the Ice-Scape Dome.  The Dome housed a complete, climate-controlled ecosystem for scientific study.  It was an ecological and a social experiment: the brainchild of Dr. Emily Rose.  She posited that future successful space exploration would require both self-contained ecosystems and self-sustaining social structures.  Isolated under the Dome, residents experienced no competition for resources, no social caste structure, and no economic conflict.  

Jess, Amanda, and Jeremy have lived in the social utopia of the Ice-Scape Dome since infancy. As they approach their sixteenth birthdays, though, the experiment concludes, and they are sent to school in New York City where they must face the realities of life as an American teenager.  It remains to be seen how well their utopian upbringing prepared them for life in an American high school.

BOOK 2 After chaos destroyed, America fell into pandemonium and there was no communication with the U.S. After a pandemic crisis on the East coast, most civilization was abandoned near the Atlantic Ocean. After that, the world slowly began to fall to pieces and almost every country made a scramble to figure a way to make space travel easier so they could colonize a planet. But a new leader came out of the ashes and proclaimed they would consider the apocalypse a "rebirth" and proceeded (with his advanced engineering) to clear radioactivity from America and make it livable again. With the help of his crew, he builds a high security city and begins to build out past the east coast. Shortly after he rebuilds NY, he disappears and his advisor rises to power. He is a fair but cruel master (calling himself a Lord) and some people refuse to work for him. These people manage to escape the oppression of the Lord and live out on the wasteland that was once a great country. Some band together to make right communities and others rough it out by themselves, scavenging for a living.

An idea sparks in the mind of Alex. An idea already rooted in the minds of humans since their early appearance on Earth. Migrate.

Nina is captured by parbeing man. He plans to turn her into his pet. He knows she won't go down without a fight, but he's not prepared for how much 'fight' she has packed in her small body. His new pet leaks into every area of his life, changing things in ways he could never have imagined. Parbeings are the new and improved apex predators of Earth. Created from gene editing, they are the perfect humans, so perfect that they are no longer even considered human. *** Content Warning: The protagonist of this story is a victim of abuse. I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)

To Stay Human (wip) by Magnimonial
1 part Ongoing Mature
Three siblings have had their lives upended by a military force that destroyed their hometown. By serendipity or misfortune, they've met Noah and Gregory. The former saw an opportunity to advance his research and potentially humanity as a whole. The latter saw three miserable children who had been through far more than the dejected look on their faces could tell. None of them could've guessed that by securing the means to live without worry, they'd have to harbor and collaborate with an entity whose identity was lost many centuries ago. This is only some of what has been written. I'm looking for feedback of all kinds, so please don't hold back.
