What is it like to live in a perfect world? In a society that brings peace and stability. Within a system that brings us together. In a world that shapes our way of thinking. Your way of thinking.
What if I tell you that there is no perfect system and no perfect society? What if there's something bigger that's happening right underneath your feet? What if you're paradigm, and everything you knew, was truly something else?

Drew was a girl who lived in this perfect society. She always accepted the life she was living. She though that everything was black and white- that the good was obvious from the bad. And the world she lived in was nothing but good.
But when Drew finally opens her eyes, she begins to uncover the secrets and lies of the Society. Her world quickly turns gray as she discovers that there are people who seek justice and freedom from this "perfect" world. Now, she will have to choose which side she is on and remember that everything is not what it seems.

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

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)

Robot love - B0yfr13nd

21 parts Complete Mature

In the near future, a lonely girl is saved from imminent rape by a worker robot. What begins as a programmed act of protection slowly transforms into a relationship as absurd as it is necessary. He was not designed to take care of anyone. She never wanted to be cared for. But when two broken creatures cross paths, a new logic begins to be born: one that is not written in manuals, but in glances, silences and shared coffees. Between screams, forced cleanliness and cigarettes thrown in the trash, something akin to love breaks through, without asking permission. Can a machine teach a human to love itself? And what happens when that machine begins to desire, against all logic, to stay? ⚠️ This story contains explicit language, violence, sensitive topics such as abuse, depression and suicide.
