Doctor Kenneth thought for days before naming him Alex, and as he felt the growing bond between them in the depths of his heart, wishing his name to mean something, he said: "Your name is the reason why you exist. You are the guardian of humanity, Alex..." Alex approached the baby and looked at her more carefully. Like his father, he believed that names were more than just lovely words given without a purpose. He wanted to keep this memory of his father alive, relive it every time and to pass it through generations like a tradition. The newborn's pale pink colored skin shimmered in the sunlight, with prominent green veins like an obsessive ivy covering her flesh. When he met her big almond eyes, bright like a pearl, he found the name that would suit her. He took the baby from Alexandra and raised her into the sky, between the palms of his hands for the others to see. "Taown," he said ringngly. He named her Pearl. *** Translator: YAĞMUR GÖKSEL Thanks to Yağmur Göksel, who helped me share this novel, which I wrote in my native language(Turkish), by translating it into English.

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)
