❝ We are the ones who dream in ones and zeros. Do you dare to dream with us? What will you see? Will you like what you see? Or will these dreams turn into nightmares? ❞

A collection of short stories in the science-fiction genre, but with a twist.  

If you're looking for sci-fi stories told from a different perspective and with a more personal, emotional, intimate touch, then this is the collection for you! 

If you're also looking for specific themes or don't know where to start, then here is a short, (mostly) spoiler-free description of each short story in this collection: 

• A NEW RAISON D'ÊTRE
With no creator left to serve, an advanced automaton has to decide its future.

• FATAL ERROR
A robot has to pay the ultimate price for a crime it does not remember committing. 

• THIS VOICE YOU GAVE TO ME
A drunk confrontation with an unexpected A.I. might prove to be the single worst (or best) mistake of this singer's life.

• YOUR BEST YOU
A woman finds that she no longer has control over her virtual avatars.

• THE MOON BIRD
A formerly disgraced scientist is faced with the moral limits of scientific research. 
Entry for May 2020: The Force challenge. Prompt: 500 words, sci-fi short with a clear fantasy element.

• THE SECRET GARDEN
A genetically engineered human feels trapped in a glass prison.

• SYMBIOSIS
A researcher and her alien colleague go on what was supposed to be a simple data collection mission. But things quickly take a turn for the weird.

• UNTITLED_TRACK_10
A young child is gifted a new piano instructor by her father. A new, shiny, robotic instructor. And she is not pleased.

• THE POISON WE BREATHE
As this poor dancer soon finds, the worst poison is the one you take yourself.

Three Degrees Of Danger (2019) by -tropicalminds
13 parts Complete Mature
[ 2019 ONC ambassador's pick and ONC shortlister ] The three degrees of Danger are as follows: Denial. You pretend that it's not there and you lie to yourself that it'll pass. It won't. The second stage is evolution. You tell yourself that the worst is over but you're gradually changing inside, slowly adapting to the new environment. The final degree of Danger is succumbing to temptation. You give up listening to your fading instincts, give in to the voices in your head and you give it your all. Because the world is changing and if you don't change with it, you're dead by daylight. *** Danger is a virus that is spreading through everybody's Software. It turns you insane, kills your moral compass. No one knows where it came from or how to stop it but one thing is clear- nothing will ever be the same. In a world where it's kill or be killed, you can't just stay on your toes and pray that you will survive. Murder is crucial if you want to live. These are the rules that Vic lives by as she races up the social ladder, ready to clinch the only thing that will vindicate her- the position of an Elite Killer, a title only given to the best serial killers. It is only when she meets a mysterious boy who refuses to play by the rules of society even when it means inevident death, does she start to challenge the system. In a world where mercy does not exist, Vic has to stop the deadly massacres without getting assasinated before the basic laws of a functioning civilisation starts to break down. Or is it already too late?
