control dystopian equality femaleprotagonist government intelligence shortstory speculative

In the America of the future, the government has worked tirelessly to stamp out all forms of inequality, even the most inherent and decisive one: cognitive ability. Under the True Economic Equality Act all people with a high cognitive aptitude would subsidize those with lesser mental abilities by sharing a portion of their brain's cognitive power.

To take on the almost insurmountable task of cognitive redistribution, the Department of Cognitive Equality (DCE) was formed and put into the care of Director Hardcastle. Under her department's ever watchful eye, the American people were finally becoming truly equal.

However, sometimes there are those who refuse to comply  with the act. For these non-compliants, they get a one way trip to the DCE's headquarters, where they will be able to serve the public more than ever before.

Seeking Serenity, de sarcastic_shivi

Imagine a girl who at the age of thirteen is a drug addict. Now imagine that same person a few years later as a student at MIT... I believe 9 out of 10 people reading this will not be able to do so. It is not because you don't have a wild imagination, but because our societies have made our heads so biased to what they think is proper, that our heads get stuck to stereotypes and prejudices. Every other way of thinking seems wrong. But, there always are a few rebels. The rebels who define the world as they see it. The rebels who don't let others define them. The rebels who break the barriers. The rebels for whom the sky, is just the lower limit. But the people look at them from a sight of disgust. They forget that these people have not had a simple life.... Bring in that thirteen year old a drug addict who graduated from the top of her class at MIT. That, my friend is me, Louissa Marx... What happens when good people are put into an evil place? Do they triumph or does the situation dominate their past history and morality? P.S- Beautiful cover by @_brilliant . It really makes my story complete! (Readers if you ever need a cover please do ask her because I swear she will make you one hell of a cover)

Inveigle, de J_S_Fulton

Cora Carpenter lives in an America where over 90% of the popular vote went to one presidential candidate. New policies pervade the American culture such as the Better Homes Better Future Act where all pregnant couples must pass an IQ test with 90 or higher and scores are tattooed on the infants skull for record keeping. Anything lower and the child is given to a more suitable home. Or the Volunteer Tax because if someone has time to dedicate to the less fortunate, then they must of course have extra income to spare. The best part, everyone agrees to these laws because if not one phone call is all it takes for someone to disappear. But what if persuasion isn't a learned skill but a gift embedded into a person by ancient beings? And what if these ancient beings are at war with each other?

Double Sided, de Bastiol

My Name is Danny Brinead. The year is 2034 and thanks to the Bermudians the world now has to deal with people like me. People who reacted to the gas that flooded all of our streets in order to change us, for better or worse? No one knows. The government thinks they do though, they think that we're all menaced to society and that we need to be found, captured, and controlled. They even went as far as forming the Justification to replace our current government. They basically did everything in their power to catch us. Although it didn't work very well. There are still thousands of us out there hiding in plain site. So that's how our country decided to turn against its own, the Variables. That's what they call us. But that's just the main story of us Variables, this one is about me, well. Me and my literal other personality.

Soldier In Me, de TheGeminidMind

This is an older story, I've gotten better I promise. "I first held a gun when I was eight. I remember a man strolling across a line of other children like me, he said: 'We all have a soldier in us.' I found my soldier. But then, it became all I was. " Being forced into the army at a young age, Olivia knew nothing more than fighting. But after suffering a debilitating injury, she is forced to retire to her dead parents' home. There she'll find the secrets of her world and her humanity. Edit: I'm glad I decided to go against my anxiety and post this story, thanks so much to all the people who have read my story and commented! Your advice and compliments mean the world to me!

The Everything: Integration (Sci-Fi Alien Invasion? Story), de Vexxen0

Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love. To the grand events the universe has in store for earth. As the world changes, as the universe revivals aliens exist, but not the world ending kind. As humanity realizes... perhaps the universe is too good for us. --- A story within The Everything canon, a foundation to it. This is a passion project, and I'm still developing my writing style, so feedback is welcome! If you create fan art, I'd be happy to include it (with credit). The current cover may replace if I get something better. I plan to release one chapter a day, until i catch up to my 109 page story google doc. Edit my chapters to make them better, and more. Refine it over time. Once i run out of backlog content, idk.

Confutatis Maledictis, de shamclone

Privacy. Freedom. Justice. These are lies that are perpetrated by the world to give the illusion of free-will. They are the power. They are watching. They are listening. They are tired of your dissent and disobedience. They are coming to delete you from the past, the present and the future. Who will stop them? A group of...I guess you'd call them 'former civil servants' wrestle with the atrocities that they have committed for their government. In a country where privacy, freedom and justice exist only for the people in power, they must decide whether to escape and be free, or stay and fight for redemption, but each has a price.

System, de Carmable_04

*Warning: Might contain sensitive content such as cursing, torture, blood. You had a dream. At the center of it all was the system. [Congratulations! You have been chosen by the system!] [Generating system. Please wait...] [Welcome traveler!] It all began when you met a mysterious man. However, you couldn't remember how your dream ended. You remembered the feelings and emotions you had felt. There's no turning back now. Even if you're surrounded by death. You regretted it. It was agonizing. It hurts when you see 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. Oh how you wished you've never met 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. Because you've already fallen deep into the 𝗮𝗯𝘆𝘀𝘀. "𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂" "𝓘'𝓵𝓵 𝓼𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾" So you'll embrace it instead. That's when you woke up. "A....dream?" *** "Why....? " "Why is fate so cruel?" "I don't want to remember anymore!!" "Take back these memories!!" "PLEASE!!"

No Superheroes Allowed, de Amgeek

Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime as only increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...
