~~~

Cincinnati, Ohio. 2021.

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

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)

Don't Look Back by Carolyn_Hill

ONC 2024: In college, it was a case of wrong place/wrong time. Eight years later, they have a second chance. But will they take the leap? ___ Prompt 14: "My muse, believe me, waiting for you has been a form of freedom." ___ Excerpt: "Don't look back." Ian stares at me through the screen with his dark, intense gaze. "Don't long for all the things that might have been. Don't chastise yourself for the decisions you've made." For a moment, his words render me silent. "Appreciate all those little indentations that make you who you are," he says with a tender expression. "And remember your superpower." "What superpower?" "Let yourself dream again." A tender smile crosses his features. "Focus that intense drive of yours on the future like you used to do." He's right. For so long, I've been living in survival mode. One foot in front of the other. Stuck in this nightmare, I haven't been able to see any other way forward. Until now. "You're free now," he says, "to make better choices that will make you truly happy." For a moment, I let my mind take me wherever it wants to go. Right now? It wants to be in Boston, beside him. But can I leave everything behind?

For Those Who Don't Believe in Love Songs by david_hull

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

His girl - COMPLETE by Lblackwell123

Book 2 of the Wolfe Series ||WARNING|| There will be mature content in this book. ~~~ "Hey, I don't think you can smoke in here." I tell the mysterious man. He looks at me dead in the eyes and takes another puff of his joint before speaking. "I don't recall needing your permission." Well someone's in a crabby mood. "No need to be mean." I cross my arms and snap out my hip. My long curls falling down my shoulders. "No need to be in my business." I roll my eyes and he smirks at me like he finds this amusing. Get a load of this guy. ~~~ Amelia Daisy Parker "Lia", had just recently moved to New York, after her parents passing, to finish college. She didn't want a reminder of her terrible childhood that her parents brought her, especially her father.

The Multiples by bunnybluewriter

At lightning speed I threw open the covers of the bed , checking for any trace of missing clothing ; Every ounce of my fiber, of my being was yelling at me to get out of here ,to run as fast as I could and never look back. I guess in a way , it serves me right for being here again. I was weak. I was too weak to even stand. Watching all the eyes in the room fall on me and my shaking hand , I almost hesitated. But I didn't think. And that's the problem. **** Olivia Davis was no ordinary preppy teenage girl living off of her father's fame and fortune. Living from one shopping spree to the next , riding the best and newest car. Infact , she was the exact opposite of who her father wanted as the princess of his multi billionaire company. She was loud . Cold. And had an attitude that would put her grandmother to shame . She was nothing anyone expected from someone who graduated high school with honours . So what if her graduation gift was the news that she has a fiancé ? Not one . But TWO ! None of which she had a say in what so ever . But they say that two is better than one right? *started 18 June 2019* *finished 26 March 2020* *edited 9 April 2020*

Second Chances At Love by panthesaiyan

Savant Awards Winner #16 in mystery romance on 10.08.2022 #14 in womenpower When 29-year-old Hannah married 36-year-old Albert, one of the richest people in the world she was already numb. After marriage, she also got a rebellious teenage stepson as a side gift. How will these 3 misfit people live together under the same roof and become an awkwardly sweet family? ********************************************* "Why don't you give me and yourself a chance?" He asked. "Maybe because I do not have anything else to live for" She replied "Then let's build things to love a lifetime for." He replied with determination. "I won't think of you as my real mother, but don't worry, I'll be a good son" Chimed in her stepson. Love is not always sweet, at first sight, and during college or office. Love can also be encountered by chance in the most pessimistic scenarios. It can be your last salvation when you have nothing to hold on to. She was already dead inside, so the addition of two virtual people did not bother her already stagnant life much. But the peace did not last for long. She wanted to get through life quietly but life had other plans for her. With the addition of this 2 cold-looking but soft-hearted people in her life she slowly regained some purpose to live. She started the things which she had left before and stood on her own two feet. Her husband complained one day. "I heard about something you mentioned outside, that men only care more when they're older? So? Are you complaining that I'm old now?" Hannah said, "Wait, listen to me!" **************** The story will be long and detailed with lots of family moments and some dry humour added in here and there. This is not the cliché love at first sight story, but it will be very sweet. Updates:weekly.
