The Carrion Disease plagues more than one-third of the world's population, including Cole Rite, tying them to a monthly medical regiment solely produced by Maddox Pharmaceuticals. The heir of Maddox Pharmaceuticals, Sadler Maddox, has a plan to destroy the chains that hold those with the disease(formally called Carriors) and that includes Cole Rite, his best friend and look-alike, as the guinea pig.
After one night of club hopping, Sadler repaying Cole for a rather hard dose the day before, the two are attacked on the streets, sending the duo to the hospital. With Sadler in a coma and Cole an exact look alike for the young billionaire, Darien Maddox--Sadler's father--makes a deal with Cole to take his son's place until he awakens.
Suddenly, Cole has all the power in the world, and it appears as though he was finally cured of his disease. Only, the cure seems to come with some side effects that seem to have changed Cole physically. He feels superhuman.
Still wanting answers on the attack that put the real-Sadler in a coma, Cole decides to use his new found powers to get them. Only thing is, the public takes him as a vigilante, a hero, and what he finds might be more than he can handle.

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
Shattered Silicon
In the fractured world of the twenty-second century, America is no longer whole. Flooded coastlines, toxic wastelands, and balkanized blocs divide the continent, while the Spires of the Western Union rise as gleaming monuments to corporate power. Romulus Vale is a combat medic in Triage Unit 17, patching up the bodies that keep the Spire system running. When a mission goes wrong, he suffers a mortal head injury and awakens with something else inside his skull. The Bodhi Chip. A prototype neural co-processor that stitches broken minds together, quantum-synchronized with the threads of human thought. To Romulus, it feels like salvation. To SamSara Circuits, it is the future of humanity. But as he begins to test the chip's limits, memories blur, perceptions fracture, and he starts to question whether the man who opened his eyes in the hospital is the same one who nearly died in the field. Drawn into a shadow war between megacorporations, foreign powers, and a techno-theocratic cult seeking fragments of a shattered artificial intelligence, Romulus and his squad must confront enemies both human and inhuman. Every lead pulls him deeper into a mystery about what it means to be alive, and what it means to be replaced. As loyalties fracture and the weight of his choices mount, Romulus discovers a terrible truth: the battle for survival may not be against machines, but against the very definition of humanity. Dystopian and visceral, weaving cyberpunk grit with philosophical horror, Samsara Circuits asks a timeless question: when memory and flesh are no longer yours, what part of you is left to save?
Project NOVA
No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.

A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does.

Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Complete

Be it unwillingly, he's tasked with protecting someone "special," a smart-mouthed girl deemed the "healer of humanity." Claire Adara was raised in an orphanage, left abandoned after her parents died in a fatal car accident. She'd learned to be sneaky, and that trust is a rare gift that must be earned.

The sun has become 100 times bigger than it once was, and it's scorching the Earth. Claire is the only one who can reverse it. Though, the sun is only one problem on a long list of them.
