Eighteen year old Zarina Yeats lives in Velox - a nation comprised of four cities all entranced and obsessed in the art of taking pictures. So much so, in fact, that the pictures themselves have the power to end your life - when every picture of you that's ever been taken has been erased, you erase along with it. After Zarina sees the police officers that operate out of the omniscient and powerful Res erase a classmate without the use of his pictures, she begins to question if this picture obsessed culture she lives in is really all that it seems...All Rights Reserved

"Flatty" by HeavensFace

Born in 2053, 15-year-old Latika lives in Arcis, the most prestigious city of all Amerax. It's an exciting time for the country previously named America since World War III just recently ended. Technology is booming and permits things that were unimaginable only a couple of years back. Medicine too is at its peak: illnesses have no secrets for the medical specialists and people rarely die before reaching the hundreds. The economy however, is very unstable and riches are unequally distributed... with Amerax getting the most of it. Despite the excessive use of nuclear weapons in the last war, the amount of people living on planet earth just recently exceeded 11 billion and space is scarce, even with buildings towering higher than ever. Due to the overbearing number of mouths to feed, food is now a rarity and therefore, being skinny is a sign of poverty, weakness and ailment while being overweight represents wealth, health and power. As for society, it has evolved in a way that some would qualify as ruthless and inhumane, automatically rejecting anyone that doesn't comply with its strict standards.

"I walk down the school hallway, "don't make eye contact" I keep repeating in my head. The sweet smell of cologne and perfume fills the halls. I keep walking trying not to get noticed. I see the doors of the school getting closer and closer. I speed up trying to make it in time. I reach out to grab the door handle, and right as I'm about to take my step to freedom, I hear my name being called. And I know exactly who it is. The person who makes my life miserable. The person that makes me want to die more and more each day. The one person who knows my only weaknesses. The school bully." Jessica is a 15 year old at Marino High school. She's a straight A student and she lives a normal life. Or at least she did. It all started when she was 7th grade. Her mom became MIA (missing in action). Her dad became an angry man. He thought the whole reason why Jessica's mom left, was because of Jessica. He beats her every day. And to top it all off, she gets bullied at school. Will her life ever become normal again? Or will it just keep falling apart.

Days (oneshots) by 88planetdreamer

Random oneshots of little sections of the lives of different people living different lives and worlds/realities. Names mentioned here are all completely fictional. Some of these stories will be open-ended, so use your imagination on how it ends, or you can add on to them. A lot of the rituals and things that happen won't have much of an explanation (Sorry). They don't all end happily. That's all.

Hers To Love (complete) Cover By @army_ss841 by neonblonde1

A 25 year old woman moves from Texas to pursue her dream of being a photographer. She had always hoped that her career path would lead her to New York, her fantasy since a little girl. The Big Apple! Little did she know that with one click of her camera, picking this particular subject, would change her life forever! This story is strictly fictional as are the character's names. Some of the places that I describe are real places in New York, as I wanted to try and mix some real geographical locations with some fictional locations. This is rated R 18+ and has violence, language and sexual situations.
