"Don't make me ask you twice, Wolf. Let him go." His quiet but firm voice carried the fifteen feet easily in the dead silence. "You don't want to be dead twice, Chief. The first funeral was painful enough," replied Wolf, her voice laced with fury. The knives clattered to the floor, pushed out by her regeneration system. Axis' rule sees the blue of the sky of 2089 choked to a dull grey by the fumes of The Cybo Revolution. Body upgrades are almost a norm and are the greatest gift crime has seen since the gun. "A philosophy so physical makes for a handsome tribe," as immortalized by the elusive Revolution leader. Ever since data privacy was outlawed by Axis a few years back, rumors had begun making rounds. Unheard whispers threatened to snowball. Zeppelin chips. Control experiments. And just like that, global crime rates plummet - The Disappearance had started. Four years later, a lone man wakes up in the middle of nowhere with nothing but vestigial memories and an implant in his body. Friendless and disoriented, he sets out to figure out what really happened to him, even as Axis' sentinel drones circle overhead. [Note 1: This is my first attempt as a writer, and I've included all the parts here. This is an unfinished work as of now, but I am constantly working on it. Meanwhile, it would be lovely if you are able to get through to the end (which I will be adding very soon) and post your comments! I would love to hear opinions and ideas on how a particular scene could have been done!] [Note 2: This is a non-linear narrative, so you will have to go through the first few chapters to really get a grip on what the hell's going on. BUT THE PAYOFF IS HUGE!]

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
