The Divided
#9 in UTOPIA 3/3/19 I couldn't take my eyes off of Dean as he stared at the glimmering stars in the night sky. "I believe the story of our lives is already written in the stars. Our destiny is already given to us. The end of our lives will always end the same, no matter what we try to do to change it." I watched a strand of his blond hair fall over his ear. "What does that mean?" "It means that if you are the person who is destined to take the two parts of this country and bring them together, then it will happen one way or another." His heterochromia eyes found mine and I found myself entranced by them. "And Mel, by the looks of things right now, I'd say your story has started and you are already working towards your destiny." ** One country. Two nations. After the country split in two, the nations renamed themselves the Ameliorates and the Extricates. The Ameliorates live in a community full of stability and order. Melody Sharpe is the daughter of the Ameliorates' leaders. All her life she was told that the Extricates lived in a place full of chaos and destruction. What happens when she finds herself questioning everything she had once been taught? What does she do when she meets Dean Martin--the son of the Extricate leaders--who tells her that everything she knows is a lie? Why did the Extricates really split away from the Ameliorates? Why do the Extricates fear the Ameliorates more than anything else? Are the Extricates really the "bad" side? Melody starts asking questions--something she isn't supposed to do--and it might just lead her into the middle of a war.Complete

The Art of Falling for You
"love story" we all have heard this term many times in our lives but there are 80% people who are stuck in an one sided love or have never experienced a true love. Riya was just thirteen when she first saw Aarav at their school, a boy with an easy smile and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. For her, it wasn't just a crush-it was a dream, a promise, a story she believed was meant to be. She admired him from afar, cherishing every fleeting moment they shared in the same classroom, from his laughter echoing in the hallways to the way he brushed his hair off his forehead when deep in thought. As the years passed, Riya's feelings for Aarav only deepened. She would write his name in the margins of her notebooks, replay their brief conversations in her mind, and imagine a life where he might one day see her the way she saw him. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Aarav was kind, charming, and friendly, but to him, Riya was just another classmate. He was oblivious to the love that quietly bloomed in her heart, too engrossed in his own ambitions and the fleeting teenage romances that never seemed to last. As they grew older, Riya's unspoken love became a bittersweet companion. She watched from the sidelines as Aarav dated other girls, confided his dreams to friends, and pursued a world she felt too afraid to enter. Though her heart ached, Riya found solace in the idea that love could exist even if it wasn't returned. But fate has a curious way of testing hearts. "A Glimpse of Forever" is a poignant tale of longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of love that refuses to fade, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones we write for ourselves.

L.O.V.E.
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)Complete
