The world is dominated by a single corporate entity. The human race is enslaved in a tightly monitored and controlled environment, with no reasonable expectation for redemption from the situation. Fortunately, redemption comes in many shapes and sizes, and usually from places unexpected.
River is born in a company birthing lab. He is placed in a small room shortly thereafter to live in a virtual world of the company's making. The effects of living in this artificial environment are devastating. He suffers from severe mental illness, and eventually lands on the wrong side of a cost benefit analysis. He is exiled to an island where the company deposits and washes its hands of undesirable employees.
He finds himself struggling to survive in an unfamiliar world filled with dangers and inconvenience. As his mental health improves, he discovers that his life of hardship and humiliation has prepared him for a role he never imagined playing.

Return (mxm)
I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesCompleta

In a sterile, ever-watching laboratory known only as The Facility, science and control are indistinguishable. Infectids - once human, now something else entirely - are studied, subdued, and sacrificed in the name of progress. Among the monitors and containment glass, one newcomer rises quickly: Stephanie, a young lab assistant with unwavering loyalty to her superiors, and a dangerous lack of self-awareness. As she earns favor from Kaleidos, the mercurial infectid-CEO, Stephanie begins her descent into the heart of a movement known only as the New World - a revolution dressed as salvation. But when praise becomes possession, and obedience demands transformation, Stephanie finds herself mutated from loyal assistant to something far less... predictable. Haunted by the past, manipulated by power, and stalked by a childlike infectid with glass eyes and too much understanding, Stephanie is forced to question everything: the purpose of her work, the humanity of her subjects, and the infection growing quietly inside her. But in this facility, questions are dangerous - and answers may be worse. Obedience made her rise. Now infection will decide if she survives.Completa
