It all started in Mississippi, when Lance Richardson was elected as governor. Soon he was elected as president, which he soon turned to a dictatorship. He hated certain races, religions, and political stand points. He hated all who were educated enough to understand their loss of freedom. All the people he hated were thrown into the concentration camp known as The Gray. Our ancestors were fighting for the freedom that had been taken away slowly for years. The Gray became home to those who remained patriotic. The sheep remain in the rest of the country, known as the Gold. Now it's 4092, and a born prisoner named Virginia Risk knows. She knows centuries of American history. And with the help of her driver, his daughter, and a boy with a famous name, she may be able to let the whole country know too.

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
50 states 1 Country (OLD)
America has 50 kids that no one knows about not even the U.N. The country can take care of them but they make it harder to take care of himself. He usually only gets 30 minutes to 3 hours of sleep if he's lucky and despite his cocky exterior he's emotionally a pile of crap. (Aint in fandom anymore, keep this up for my resume)Complete
Away
It all started when they turned ten, the age that automatically put them under the Civils watch. They were all rounded up from their care units, like a herd of cows. One by one, they entered a room. The room where they lost the one thing that mattered to them the most. They woke up hours later on a worn down mattress and had a precious sense taken away from them. Some lost their sight and all lost their hope. Just so they wouldn't try to run. Clover and Jack were just regular citizens in Amara, and were used to being taunted and misused by their cruel leaders. Life without a 'normal' ability made their bulling worse. What if Clover and Jack were to escape past the massive stone walls of Amara? What if they were to get away?Complete
Secret States
America was the last person anyone expected to be a father. But America is a father to many. Sometimes, those kids convince each other to do ridiculous things. That's how Texas found himself about to walk into a UN meeting.Complete
Fading | CountryHumans America (Old)
This is my first story ever so please do not judge 😅 and sorry if is not that good The other countries have always believed America was always a happy, cheerful , annoying country, that isn't responsible enough to do any. But what they don't know about him is that he has 50+ kids to take care of. America acts as if he was always ok and acts as if nothings was wrong. One day America woke up, and saw that his colors of the flag on him were fading into darker colors. While his eyes were turning black. Of course America couldn't let the other countries see him like this, so he covered his flag up with some face paint that he found and just put on his usual sunglasses to cover his eyes. Besides that, his states have been more energetic then ever, things have been going quite crazy with them around the house... But during all these crazy events, not only have things been getting wild, something quite unusual happens.. But what will happen when a certain country finds out that America's flag is turning to darker colors and his eyes are fading to black? What will happen if they find out that America has children? (Art cover is mine, not the best) (Oml this is so cringe-)Complete
The Fake Smile He Wears
No Ships! i do be cringing at this very hard but I'll keep it up for y'all. note that the quality is very questionable and like most people i've reflected on the cringiness <3 The Ancients saw many of their children and grandchildren suffering alone, no one noticing the other's pain. The fake mask, the 'happy' countries wore. The secrets they all hid. The Ancients couldn't let this just happen, they came up with a plan. America was the unfortunate victim and test subject. America is the happy, joyful, always smiling, and loud country, but what if everything they know about him is a lie? A mask no one could see through. The mask no one tried to look through. There was a lot they didn't know about him. A lot he hid from them. A lot he kept inside his cracking heart. Secrets will be spilled, and skeletons will come out of the closet. Feelings kept inside for so long, will come out. The sides of America they never knew of will come out today. The mask will come off today. The mask that's been worn for so long. Will he be saved? What happened to America? Who is America really? How many lies have been told? How many hearts will be broken? Did they ever know America at all? How many friendships will be built, and how many destroyed? How long has America deceived them all? How will they see America now? Will America come out of this better or worse? Was doing all of this right? Only time will tell. WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️: Mentions of suicide, eating disorders, self harm, other mental disorders, and depression. If you are suffering from any of these things please get help. I know someone out there cares for you, if you can't find someone who cares for you, I do, so please get help.

"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses? Why did we relent to this obvious threat when we did have the capability to change, and prevent our peaceful hierarchy from being razed? It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world. Their grip seemed impenetrable, the extent of their control unknown by the humans. Society is blinded by the splendour and wealth of all the technology. "We live in mere fear, unable to access any computerised knowledge for fear of being discovered. We're convicted to the old ways of living, our specialists abilities unable to be used. It puts a very ironic twist on the definition of being free." COMPLETED --Complete
