TW: voilence, abuse, death It has been 17 years since the end of a war that left Fynn's country in chaos. It took everything from him, his parents, his home, a normal life. The only thing he can hold on to now is his best friend Kasper. Nobody really knows when people started to lose their minds, they call them, "the hexed", nobody can sleep full nights anymore. The two boys get stuck with only two options, face the hexed, or follow a mysterious girl who will change their lives forever.

A CliFi short story. Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea... ...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in. Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter... ... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs. Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives. The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean. To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand. To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water. A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it. You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick... ...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Resa: a story set in the world of 'the Balance' by AlistairWilkinson

It is Resa's birthday and she is 54 years old. She has one year left until she goes over and she has been perfectly happy for the past 37 years, never questioning whether or not she loves her husband or even likes her children. But now she does. She has heard that some run but most, pretty much all, just go over. They go peacefully but Resa cannot believe they go happily. Older than her husband, she must go alone. She is given a guide dog to help her to make sense of the transition, to be with her, to be the be the only thing she knows on the day she turns 55. She doesn't even know what to call it.

The Nightwatcher's Horizon by MatthewKaminski

Set after a war which had nearly wiped out all of civilization, this story follows a Nightwatcher, Cato-one of the few people put in place to protect the little bits of salvageable land. They guard their lands atop high medieval walls, never looking inward-never knowing what exactly they are protecting. When an army breaks through the front gate, Cato's life is completely changed. He awakes within the walls, in a place he has never seen. A girl named Adalyn finds him and takes him on an adventure that explores the ins and outs of the world, centered around the city he had protected all of his life: Prevnaar Tribeck. Cato will learn who his parents are, what the city he has protecting is actually like, and what its like to live a normal life in the world after the war-a world that is almost entirely broken to pieces. He will quickly learn one thing above all else: there is no shortage of death in this new world.

Avia wakes up to an empty town. With no idea where her family is she picks up and starts traveling to the next town to find someone or anyone. But when she does, was it really a good idea?

Set in an alternate future where the government rules over all and those who don't follow the status quo are sent to a prison called the Camp to work hard labor, rumors of rebellion are quickly taking root. These rebels have tried to overthrow the Citadels before, however, and they are not the heroes the Citadel citizens wish them to be. Nor has lived in a Citadel orphanage for thirteen years after she was separated from her family during the last rebellion against the government. Though the rebels may have failed all those years ago, they have suddenly returned with increasing numbers and support. Nor doesn't believe that the rebel's agenda is to liberate the people, but something far more sinister. Her suspicions are soon confirmed, and she is forced to flee for her life. On the run from the quickly approaching rebel army, Nor begins to search for the family that she lost long ago. Her journey will lead her into unexpected dangers, and even to an unexpected love. Not everything is as it seems, and soon the strange events that are slowly untangling within Nor's world will make her question her very reality.

In the distant future, our world ends. Then, it begins again. The people form new countries, new governments, new languages. And they are going fantastically. Then that one ends, too. What's left is a girl called Auryn, who is coming to terms with the fact that she is desperately, devastatingly alone. AAnd then comes a boy, called Cohen, an elite soldier sent by an underground society known as Unit. Suddenly, Auryn is not quite so alone. (no, they don't fall in love. It's not that kind of story)

The world is ruins. The air is almost too toxic to breathe. Space Colonization has failed more than once. Humanity has one final option: The Digital World. Lloyd works as a transfer therapist, prepping people for a world he's too scared to go to. But when his process fails and a client runs off, what is he to do? The government sends him on a wild chase, and he begins to wonder what would be worse, dying in a toxic world, or being used as a pawn in the government's system.

When a specific medication for curing pain goes wrong, the world takes a sudden turn. The cure erases the host's memories, causing them to go insane. So insane that they begin taking over the cities, and the country itself. Those who never took the cure are left to survive on their own, confused and hopeless. Willow Rytes thought her biggest problem was surviving before this happened. The Insane are here, and they have a focused goal: to survive themselves while their common enemy is the sane.
