The Same Old City
Imagine living in a city that does not allow you to leave at all, exploits you as a person, student, and worker from the day you are born, determines and assigns the "perfect" job for you before you are born, does not allow you any personal freedoms (unless it is alone in your bedroom or bathroom with caution). It will torture or execute, depending on the status or identity of the person, if any law is broken no matter how small or big the law is. That's the city of Dimwar. Tall, thick concrete walls around its borders prevent anyone and everyone from leaving the city- anyone who tries will be searched, chased down, and executed. One teen girl, Taylor Kensley, begins a revolution to change this and fight for the trapped, oppressed people of the city. Will she succeed-- and how long will it take? WHAT will it take? And what will she have to lose to get there? **WARNING: Contains mature scenes with mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, murder, and bigotry. Please read at your own risk or skip if you are sensitive to these topics!Complete
Gods Under The Dome
[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobiasComplete

I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.
