No sound from humans, no sounds from technology, no sound from nature. The whole world is silent... 
Why?
◆ ◆ ◆
Imagine you wake one morning and find that everyone in your house is still asleep, and won't wake up. Only it's not just your house; it's the whole world. You then decided to hop online and see if anyone else is awake. You send out a post, titled "Anyone Else Awake?" Within five minutes it has three comments. 

Well, this is reality for Haileè Aitken.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli
143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story. For Wattpad only, chapters are split up by individual scenes-if you would prefer the whole chapters in single pieces, please visit my homepage or another site where I post this story, thanks!

A beautiful world full of nightmares by MakeMeBeArsedForOnce
25 parts Complete Mature
Nina Chime, a sixteen year old girl, dealing with many differences that others take advantage to. It's not her fault she's this way, it's more her mum's, Cheryl Kim, as she never raised her as she should've done. Nina agrees to a 'friend' to venture into a new world to distract herself from reality but finds herself remembering dreams, as well as nightmares, she's had in the past. She meets familiar faces along the way, as well as ones she must get rid of permanently. But will that happen? Understand the world of one that lives it differently by exploring with Nina what she sees and what this world entails for her. Will it be pretty? Will it be gruesome? Will she learn something? Or was it all a distraction from reality? ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ This is a mental health awareness book as many people facing mental health conditions/illnesses see the world so differently to others.
