In a future where technology has advanced to the popularity of Virtual Reality and perspective becomes a blur between gaming and reality, what is real and what isn't? Is life worth living if given a better life in the world of Virtual Reality? What if instead of living in a hospital bed day by day watching your time tick by while death inches closer you could be in a world that seems so real that the problems of the real world fade away into ones and zeros? What life would you choose? Does one hold more value then the other? Anta and Ashley's time is closing in. Adam and Connor both feel helpless as they watch the ones they care about slowly die. Will Virtual Reality come to provide meaning and hope in depressing times? Or will it end up just causing more pain then what the real world could ever do? What if you were trapped within the game with only one life? Does reality start to kick in? Do the rights and wrongs of our world carry over, or do the inner demons and animistic nature of people take over because they are behind a screen?

The Fade by imacharacter98

"Can you not see what's going on around us? People are disappearing without any warning. Is that funny to you? Does it not worry you at all that you could be next?

A lot." *** Widespread unexplainable disappearances prompt a group of teenagers to leave their empty homes in search of the source of The Fade.

Abigail by hmarieh1218

(In editing) She's depressed. She's anorexic. She's suicidal. She's insecure. Abigail has grown up with her three brothers and James, never meeting her parents, who abandoned her at birth. Her brothers were left to take care of her and keep a roof over their heads. Everyday they struggle to take care of Abigail, while working to keep them in their home. Life for them is hard. Life for Abigail is even harder. She has a dark mind and not by choice. Somewhere along the way she's developed these feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. Everyday is a struggle for her and just getting out of bed is a success. She meets Zach, a bad boy with a bad reputation. He starts off as a tutor, just to help her out, out of pity. But eventually feelings get involved and Abigail finds herself liking a boy for the first time in her life. Things get serious and she somehow learns about his drug dealing business. Everything gets hectic and Abigail doesn't know what to do with her life anymore. Or if she even wants to live.

Akropolis by hcedwards

"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

Broken-Adopted By MatPat by ZarWrites

(y/n), a girl who has lost everything. Broken, beaten, and been through so much. But what happens when two certain theorists come into her life? What happens when life is turned upside-down? What happens over a Diet Coke during a midnight visit to the convenience store? What happens when this girl, (y/n), is welcomed into a new family? A crazier one. A bigger one. One that will never leave you hanging with a clap-and-a-half. This is (y/n)'s story. (y/n)'s crazy experience, with a YouTube family. Cover art by @Aki-Shi, go check her out! EDIT: Story is done, but also know I wrote this a looong time ago. I was less knowledgable. Less... good at making plots I guess. Nonetheless, people seem to really enjoy the story, and for that I'm glad. Just know that some of the themes may not be accurately portrayed because of my own inexperience with them. And unfortunately, I don't plan on revisiting this to make it better. Anyway, please enjoy this crazy story I wrote all the way back in the early days of middle school!
