Cora Carpenter lives in an America where over 90% of the popular vote went to one presidential candidate. New policies pervade the American culture such as the Better Homes Better Future Act where all pregnant couples must pass an IQ test with 90 or higher and scores are tattooed on the infants skull for record keeping. Anything lower and the child is given to a more suitable home. Or the Volunteer Tax because if someone has time to dedicate to the less fortunate, then they must of course have extra income to spare. The best part, everyone agrees to these laws because if not one phone call is all it takes for someone to disappear. 

But what if persuasion isn't a learned skill but a gift embedded into a person by ancient beings? And what if these ancient beings are at war with each other?All Rights Reserved

4 Sisters of the Apocalypse by DLSheron

10 years into the future four sisters discover they have unusual super powers. While reading the journals of their recently deceased mother she supernaturally speaks to them from the past. (Mary died suddenly due to a newly released hyper-virus by The Powers That Be.) The young women discover not only had their mother been quenching their powers since they were babies but through her journals is now urging them to to do the exact opposite. "Rise up! *You were born for such a time as this." However the recent abandonment by their mother in death and their father in grief has left them struggling as they've been thrust into adulthood overnight. The world desperately needs them. Will they stop bickering and worrying about boys, fashion and proms long enough to save the day? *Esther 4:4 Gifts: Baby in the corner Beth (19) has the ability to draw her heart's desires. She thinks it's only while using her big box of 64 crayons. She doesn't realize the power is in her mind's eye and not her writing implements. Jo (20) can teleport. Of course she doesn't always stick her landings. At first her landings are as messy as is her life. She's lost her mother, her family home, her faith and now thinks she may be losing her mind. Supercilious self-absorbed Amy (17) has the uncanny ability to get others to do what she wants. She says, ever so sweetly, "I'd prefer..." Dad always called it "wrapping others around her little finger syndrome." If she wanted she could ask a perfect stranger to hand over his car keys and he'd have to oblige. The oldest sister Meg (21) has dreams and visions about the world's near future. She's also very intuitive. Perhaps if she were better at seeing her own future maybe her personal life wouldn't be in shambles?

Phantom's Tribute by somethingsjd

Check user description please ----- The year is 2055, and monsters have finally come to visit us. They live under the bed of every person, from the moment they are born. They haunt the child when they are young, they are evil, they are dangerous, they are manipulative, but not to Alicia. Alicia doesn't believe in the rules- those being that you must kill the beast at the age of sixteen. It didn't sit right with her- to take the life of a living being. The monster had never hurt her, it had never threatened her. One day, she plans on catching it in the act, staying up till 11:00 and startling it. The monster gets scared, but it never hurts her.. it speaks to her. Eventually the two have to figure out a way to make sure the monsters stop getting hurt, they are not monster at all. But who is behind the laws of the things under the bed? And what happens when two monsters meet?

Zero Sum by nateofspades

Humanity is not alone in the universe. More specifically Earth is not alone. It is an age of wonder for humanity. For all but a few. Our history has been altered, according to one who has visions of the fractured world that could have been but never was. The way history would have played out without an intergalactic coalition of humans visiting Earth. And he cannot decide whether the advanced human's arrival is really all that it seems. Whether we would have been better off as things are now, or with how his visions tell him things ought to have been. There are multiple worlds colonized by a vast space faring technologically and biologically enhanced human race all across the galaxy. Earth is just one of many of such colonies. At some point in our forgotten past Earth was cut off from our intergalactic neighbors and decides to fend for herself. Later we lose ourselves to infighting and nationalism instead of being true to our nature of being a space dwelling, intergalactic human cooperative. Now our space cousins are reestablishing contact with Earth. Bringing their superpower enabled, technological mastery of science so advanced as to seem supernatural. Eliminating slavery, wars, crime, diseases, climate shifts, and currency, with their arrival. Offering the promise of entry into a thriving united galactic empire. (I am dropping in from time to time updating the story with fresh ideas as they pop into my head this is so very much a first draft I have not even decided on names for some of the characters or different factions of humans that are to be encountered from beyond our solar system)

GLASS || The Catalysts Series, #1 by arcaneshade

‹ ‹ Featured in Wattpad Superhero! › › Lena can see little visions through glass surfaces - but she is not the only one of her kind. In the City of Leatia, humans and demons coexist, cars fly, buildings break as easily as they are rebuilt, and Catalysts-people with superpowers-govern the law and order of the City. When an opportunity presents itself to Lena, she discovers she is a potential Catalyst herself and is suddenly enrolled into the city's top institute, Arcane Academy, in a way she's never imagined or hoped to. What's more, in an utterly unsuccessful attempt to lay low, she might have just stumbled across and made a bad impression on Arcane Academy's most powerful student. To prove herself worthy of her sudden enrolment, Lena must stand up against the strongest of students and face the worst of duels. ***** amazing cover done by the talented storms&seas/ selena, tysm I love your work <3 Notable rankings: #1 in yafantasy July 6th, 2020 #126 in fantasyadventure February 8th, 2021 #114 in science-fantasy February 12th, 2021 #1 actionpacked October 4th, 2021

The Age Of Chrome by Spartan_Reader_

If you're reading this, know that I am not writing to be seen. I'm getting back into writing as a hobby. I'm also using this to learn a new system. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's fine too. I use italics to indicate someone speaking in another language that is not English. Last published update - 08/26/2024

Enslaved to the vampire Prince and Falling In Love. What!!! by WolfPanda95

How far, would you go?! To protect the ones that you love. Is love even possible in this world? How long can you survive as a vampires slave, and what happens, if you fall for him? What if after everything she had been taught about vampires, is wrong? What if she has to go against he own, can she, will she? Rachel will do anything to make sure that her little brother doesn't get hurt, no matter what happens to her. She will never go down with out a fight. Her mouth can sometimes get her into trouble, along with her actions. Can she control her self, to stay alive long enough, to see the ones she loves again, or will something completely different happen to her. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' When his head snapped in my direction I knew what I had to do. The one thing he told me not to do. The one thing that I said I wouldn't do. Run. ''''''I was on the third floor, I had to get to the first floor undetected. I heard a door open on the third floor, I was half way to the second floor. Crap, who is it, soon I heard footsteps walk in the opposite direction of me. I sighed and continued to leave. I reached the second floor, when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' What choice is there, is it possible for vampires and humans to get along, probably not. I think I am doing the right thing, maybe, I don't know. Who ever came up with the saying "You will do anything for the ones that you love," were right, because I catch myself doing things I never imagined myself doing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sequel is 'The Vampire Prince's Huntress' Like or love this story, follow me on Instagram - flyleaf.forever.95
