Time To Die
Ok. So I'm a five foot tall midget, with neon green hair, enough tattoos and piercings to frighten any small child. I'm thirty eight going on twenty, and I hold down a semi professional career running an alternative nightclub in town. With enough health problems to sink a battleship I stand out like a sore thumb in any surroundings, so that poses the question... How exactly did I get away with murder?... More than once.Complete![Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/173976333-256-k815092.jpg)
Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete]
Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete
The Test
Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian. But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?Complete

Graphic Content Warning: This story explores some seriously dark topics including homicide, stalking, mental disorders resulting in threatening behaviour. If these topics are not something you want to encounter right now I will see you in another story :) ~ Nothing ever happens in Fargo. Most days, it's barely warm enough to step outside for more than fifteen minutes, and the monotony settles over the town like snowdrift. So when mutilated bodies start turning up in grotesque, unrecognizable heaps, the quiet edges of hysteria begin to creep in. Harry Styles understands why his friends are suddenly so captivated by the investigation because, again, nothing ever happens in Fargo. Against his better judgment, he agrees to tag along to one of the crime scenes, to watch from a distance as the police work. He keeps his usual calm, detached. But that composure begins to crack. Because this isn't how he left the bodies.Complete

It's 2033, and only the richest of the rich actually make it out alive. Victor Dunham, the world's richest man alive, takes himself and 300 other people with him on a spaceship to escape from the new and tragic earth. The ones left behind? They are left amongst the monsters that rule their planet now. Meanwhile...Dunham and his people have found a new planet a year later called Nytheria. There, they met the creatures of Nytheria called the Zeryn. Tall and skinny, dark purple skinned alien creatures with yellow cat eyes, pointy ears and sharp teeth. But don't be fooled by their intimidating looks. They are actually quite domestic towards humans. Victor's crew realises they won't be living easily on the new planet, so he comes up with the plan that humans and zeryns reproduce to make hybrids. And fast forward to 500 years later, the planet is filled with human-alien hybrids called the Virelians. But one specific Virelian, Dunham's descendant, isn't happy with his life on Nytheria. So he makes a plan to return to earth and see if humans are still alive. What happens next? My friend, that's for you to find out.
