America the Unknown (United States of America #3) by 37054ljH

2019 NEW YEAR SPECIAL! You know about America and her children, the United States of America. You know of their stories, their lives, their tribulations, their scars, and their various secrets...or so you'd like to think. Sometimes there are scars that can run so deep that even the victim can never know, sometimes events can cause people to rewrite their memories to save themselves from the pain of those painful recollections, and sometimes...it's best to never remember them. The family had lost a lot more than you think, a lot more than they would like to admit, and a lot more than their mother could handle. So, have you heard of the Failed Colonies? No? Then let's dive into the dark secrets that America has tried so hard to keep buried. *Rated M for suggestive themes, references of violence, sexual themes, and alcohol and drug references.* *Also, please be warned that this short story will contain sensitive subjects such as infant mortality, depression, and suicidal thoughts/ideations, which will be described in full detail and are not meant to be jokes, so please do not proceed if these themes are going to be a problem.

Mark of the Outcasts #Wattys2016 by Toothless27

In the city of Crea, everybody has a mark. Good or bad, it tells others what you've done to earn that mark. Some people earn their marks by saving people, others earn them by committing crimes. No matter who you are or where you live, you get a mark by the age of fifteen. Well, almost everyone. Roxanne Vixen is about to turn fifteen, but she has one problem. She has no mark. She's done everything that other people do to get their marks, to no avail. Worse still, if she doesn't get her mark by her birthday, she'll be sent to Curi Academy, the school for all the teens without marks. No one leaves there until they get their marks. And it could take months--even years--to get your mark. Roxanne's story of powers and fitting in with the crowd may not be what she asked for when she asked for her mark, but who knows? Maybe being Markless is better than anyone thought. |Start Date: 8/17/16| |Completion Date: 12/7/16|

Once Bitten by M0ND4Y

The dead do not sleep. The dead do not eat. The dead most certainly do not laugh. And the dead do not cry. 6 years have passed since nuclear war broke out, destroying the planet and killing most of the world's population. Different geographical regions have been affected differently, the climate mutating and transforming people into horrific monsters of all kinds. Now humanity must fight to survive amongst literal zombies, vampires, and horrific fungal spores capable of reducing even the strongest to nothing. Emily lives with a small, ragtag group of survivors, her friends before the outbreak occurred. When one of them falls ill, in dire need of medicine, the group is forced to travel to the hospital across town, where they discover something, or rather someone unexpected. Mark was a normal person before the outbreak, before he was bitten by his own father, before everything went to hell in a handbasket. Now he lives under the hospital with his trusty cat Buckwheat, hiding from the daylight and wondering why him, out of all the infected, has to "live" with the curse of sanity after his demise. A chance encounter leaves him wondering if maybe there's more to life after death. BOOK ONE IN THE 'AFTER LIFE ENDED' SERIES

The Demons of Rome by Thilio

A small beggar boy, the most powerful mage in a millennium. A wise cracking baby owl of death. An academy filled with the next rulers of the world and a war in Gaul about to start. You might say trouble is brewing. Rome wasn't built in a day, or so we say. But what if it was, what if powerful forces were at work, and they carried on playing their part throughout its history? Magic, monsters and people who could control them. Power is a game played out with monstrous pieces all across the ancient world and at its very heart was Rome. Despite its power and influence, the city has fallen on hard times, with wars raging across the northern lands, most men have been levied into the legions but it still isn't enough to achieve the total victory the senate want. When Iatus is pulled off the streets and put to the mage's test he knows he's probably going to die. But when he survives his encounter with a powerful demon, he starts down the path of war, murder and the endless pursuit of power.

Aurora Genesis by CyberLink963

Everybody is born with two things, a print and a power. Everyone. They are born with a super power that is usually unique and is defined by their two parents, these powers have variable ranges of how powerful they can actually be. One could have the simple power of creating a small light and having a minimal power range whereas another could have the complex power of manipulating chemicals and have an extremely high power range. To be keep this power ridden society sane, another gift is given at birth. A Mark. A black mark of where that person's soul mate may touch them for the first time. A mark to let you know how you'll find your one and only. Out in this society, it's very common to see powers being thrown around whereas at the same time someone is having a sweet date with their 📶 other. But what if one had an ability off the charts that was so powerful no one could stop them and at the same time.....was born without a mark. Inspired by the welcomic unOrdinary, Inspired by the Sonic universe and Inspired by my own thought. I'm serious this is a totally original story.
