(Free to read + a paid bonus chapter) In a time when kidnapping is a common occurrence, Nora is about to become her father's science experiment.

Nora believes she's starting a new job, working alongside her father, but instead, she's trapped inside of a dream with other humans. Besides for a small group of dreamers called Lucid, no one realizes anything is wrong with their new world. But dreams reveal who someone really is, even the secrets they didn't know, and Nora is not an exception. 

Charlie's father, Richard Pace, is the lead scientist. As a Lucid, Charlie is ordered by his father time and again to betray his own kind. And Nora is his next missions.

But when Charlie discovers just how far his father's plans for Nora go, he'll have to choose between his freedom or his morals.

Is it possible to escape when you don't even know you're trapped? 

Winner of the Candice Coghill award and the Royal Palm Literary award.

Lee fled her father's realm, with his dark creature snarling at her heels. She barely made it into the human world alive. With grim determination, she manages to escape her father's clutches... but her abilities are special, and he won't let her go so easily. When Lee wakes up in a hospital room, two police officers come to ask her questions about who she is and what had happened to her. Lee refuses to give anything up to the officers, because if she told them who she was, her father would surely find his way across the barrier between their worlds and force her back to their world. And one thing was for certain, Lee would never bring him a soul to devour again.
Temporal Tantrums by AnanthVanDerLekh
9 parts Ongoing
What if someone was interfering with your dreams? Why do dreams seem to tell stories over which we have no conscious control? Who decides what gets into our dreams... ...and what gets out? What if the line between stories and reality blurs? If our own story was told would we really be the character we think we are? Who says that our personal perspective of reality is the only one... ... or the real one? What if travelling in time was possible for you? When would you go and would you be able to get back? If you met yourself would it really be you... ...or another person very like you? Book 1 of the epic series Tales of Strangeness and Charm. Follow Temporal Tantrums: To Discover If Reality Can Get Any Weirder Every time you think the plot has reached peak absurdity, someone pulls the rug out and exposes new depths. Is there wisdom in the chaos? This unpredictability mirrors the twists and turns of time travel, where nothing is ever as it seems. Because It's Not Just the Characters Losing the Plot In this universe, narrative amnesia, time loops, and characters with overlapping manifestations in different stories leave you wondering who's writing whom. This highlights the chaotic, mind-bending nature of the time travel narrative. Because It'll Make You Question Your Own Reality You'll start to wonder if the random events in your life are part of a greater narrative or just cosmic chicken scratching. This suits a time travel story where reality and timelines blur, keeping readers on edge.

The Island by AmyJohnson895
44 parts Complete
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing. Highest Ranking: #45 in Science Fiction **2nd Place Winner of the 2017 Rose Awards** **Featured as a Wattpad Pick on 11/8/19**

My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers? He must have noticed my gaze because his lips quirked up into a proud smile and suddenly the patch of white grew into an entire wing. No, not just one, two wings...and they were attached to his back. -Rankings- #1 in Creature 3/03/2021 ❤️ #1 in Beast 1/27/2023 ❤️ #1 in Subject 8/27/2022 ❤️ #1 in Dystopia 3/25/2020 ❤️ #1 in Laboratory 4/27/2021 ❤️ #1 in Science-Fantasy 4/21/2023 ❤️ #2 Young Adult 4/18/2023 #2 Strong-Female-Character 12/20/2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [NEW COVER 4/3/2021] [COMPLETED 4/9/2022] *WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE STORY*

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!
