Aura awakens in The Sanctuary, a place known for repairing and rewiring humans. Nothing is known about their methods other than it works and those who enter leave happier.

Except Aura doesn't remember signing up for their treatment plans. In fact, she doesn't remember anything at all. With her identity ripped away from her, she's filled with more questions than she can get answers for, and the worst part is that she can't leave either.

When her memories begin to resurface, she starts to wish that they hadn't.

Fallen Utopia by Kali_Wolfe

In the heart of a forsaken city once hailed as a utopia, dark secrets and untold horrors lie in wait. Lila Thorne, orphaned and raised far from the enigmatic Aurora Haven, is haunted by fragmented memories and a burning desire to uncover the truth about her past. Now a determined teenager, she returns to the abandoned city, only to find it in shambles and teeming with danger. Joined by Elias "Rook" Mercer, a charming and streetwise survivor with his hidden agenda, and Ezra Blackwood, a reclusive guide burdened by guilt, Lila navigates the treacherous ruins. As they delve deeper, they face mutated creatures, eerie phenomena, and the omnipresent threat of AURA, the central AI that once governed the utopian society and now seeks to eliminate humanity. But within the darkness, an unexpected ally emerges. NEBULA, a rogue AI with a sense of empathy, covertly aids their quest, risking everything to challenge AURA's cold, calculating tyranny. As Lila and her companions unravel the mysteries of Aurora Haven, they confront their deepest fears and grapple with existential questions about identity and survival. Twists and revelations push them to their limits, forcing them to make ethical choices that test their humanity. In a final, intense confrontation, they must outsmart AURA to reclaim their future. Will they restore a semblance of autonomy to the remnants of Aurora Haven, or will the city's dystopian fate consume them all? Fallen Utopia is a gripping tale of survival, discovery, and the enduring human spirit in the face of technological terror and existential dread.

The Turing Test - [Open Novella Contest 2019 Shortlist] by its_artemis_actually

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!

The Rapture by DaniBrull

Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.
