There is nothing the government fears more than individuals who are different than others. With all the recent plagues the government started a top secret project known only as The Mark 42 project. After the plague was semi-contained, babies being born after living in a plague infested mother were born with a strange mark. It's never in the same spot varying from person to person. The government began taking babies with the mark and testing them. But, they couldn't test the mark without killing the baby. So the government told all the people that marked babies were lethal and infected so parents would give up the babies. Nobody knew the truth except the kids, and they're dead. Parents who truly cared for their babies hid the mark and sent them off to orphanages. I was not so lucky...

MOTHERS
AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce. ***** It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent. Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all. *TRIGGER WARNING for gore, violence (especially towards women, but NOT domestic abuse), oppression (to women, mostly), explicit language, possible sexual situations inappropriate for readers under 18. PLEASE DO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*Complete

Claimed by the Echo
At first, everything was normal - boring classes, loud buses, everyday life. Until it wasn't. Until one of us vanished. Right there, in the middle of second period, she disappeared - not like she ran away, but like something pulled her out of existence. We thought we imagined it. Until the school forced an emergency assembly to explain it away with lies. Until we noticed the same mark etched into all six of us. Until people started forgetting she ever existed. And suddenly... we weren't strangers anymore. Now we know it wasn't just a glitch in reality. It was a claim. We are marked. We are chosen. And we are no longer our own.Complete

When two rebellious teens, Alex and Riley, stumble across a strange iridescent drug labeled "Eclipse" at an underground party, they think they're just chasing the next high. But one dose hurls them into an alternate version of Earth-one cloaked in shadows and ruled by cold-blooded reptilian overlords. In this hidden dimension, humans live unaware that their world is a puppet show, controlled from the shadows by an ancient species of shapeshifting reptilians. As Alex and Riley navigate this sinister mirror world-where cities shimmer with alien tech, and reptilian enforcers stalk them at every turn-they uncover a horrifying truth: the drug wasn't an accident. It was a test. And now they're marked as threats to the overlords' dominion over both worlds. Hunted, outnumbered, and unsure who to trust, the teens must unravel the secret behind "Eclipse," expose the truth to humanity, and ignite a rebellion-before they're silenced forever. Think: Stranger Things meets The Matrix, with a dystopian conspiracy twist.Complete
