First Contact is a multidimensional narrative connecting centuries, continents and sub/cultures, unravelling coincidences and conspiracies, computer viruses, and viruses which infect your mind. It details a kaleidoscope of revolutions and counter revolutions, football hooligans and Satanists, mutants and mutilations. Through drugs, drums and dreams, the interface is breached, and the message downloaded, and interpreted. The crew of the Mnemosyne detect a mysterious transmission, originating from a hostile planet. Meanwhile, but not meantime, a group of boys living in a sleepy Australian town realize that they are not ordinary kids, but actually deepcover agents from another galaxy. Intergalactic war is summoning them back home. It seems like pop superstar Michael Jackson is also heading their way!

Elsewhere in this anthology, two adventurous spirits try to restore contact with a lost colony of violent criminals. A star goes supernova, sparking panic and upheaval around the world. A frightening apparition is glimpsed deep inside a Yorkshire mine, beckoning "Come back to me!" In nearby London, a struggling shopkeeper meets her dark half and her "bizniss" finally goes ballistic.

First Contact is a short story and novella collection dating from 1989 to 2001. It is written in the style of a postmodern "pastiche": a work of art that imitates or borrows elements from a variety of different sources, in order to create a unique style or subvert the original meaning, make connections, and open a textual dialogue. Similarities to real people, places or events are entirely coincidental LOL!

Tevun-Krus #109 - Forgotten Contact by Ooorah

First Contact as a science-fiction theme is perhaps the most fascinating -- because so many seem to believe we've experienced it in the real world! Have we been contacted by alien entities? We can't answer that question here at the Mothership, but we can use it as a springboard for a great TK issue! Forgotten Contact refers to a world where contact with aliens has somehow been forgotten. Lost to time -- or maybe hushed-up?

Once Again by DragonSwirl

"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

Fate Interrupted by LNRoberts1

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - Top Pick in Romance 2023 🥇 After eleven years of no contact, fate thrusts ex-lovers Ren and Gio back together. Their chemistry is immediate, but she thinks she's broken beyond repair, and he thinks he's a train wreck unfit for relationships. Though these high school sweethearts still harbor deep feelings for each other, in order to fully heal their relationship and themselves, they must first reveal their deepest secrets. ♥︎ DualPOV. Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California, where the hot and heavy teenage memories of Gio still taunt me. Then, as if by fate, after eleven years of no contact, he walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too. Damn, Gio was hot at seventeen, but now he's the souped-up, modified version. What will it take to get him back? And if I do, would he accept me and the way in which I'm broken? Gio: Fuck, I'd give anything to get back together with Ren, but every time my heart leaps forward, I immediately take two steps back. She knows me well enough to sense I'm keeping something hidden behind my enigmatic eyes, but she wouldn't want the man I am now. I'm so afraid that the way I am could be our final deal breaker.

Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5

The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.

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)

100 Days On Earth by DannisWrites

Earth got First Contact on January 19, 2022. At least, in my science fiction universe! 1st chapters of a lot of stories. The stories that get the most votes will move up on my never-ending list of pending novels. The Adia Series begins with Adia, Scientist. Molly's Miracle Colonies takes place second in this group of stories. Adia, One Of Prophecy is the third installment here. I am preparing to release it Dec 2024 on Royal Road and Wattpad. It is the 2nd volume in the Adia Series. Kia's Biehshah Gift is fourth, and I just finished it in Dec 2024. You voted for it here on Wattpad! Ray, Host, will be fifth. It is mostly finished, which is why I didn't use it for my novel in a month project. Deb, Midwife, Suma, Therapist and Azure, Timelord will come after, as well as Alice, Queen Of Zheiea. Becky's Gift, Bedelia's Dilemma, and Ella's Saga are also part of a larger battle, but I still have to write Elsie's Fella, Stacy's Escape and Yelena's Edge. These 6 stories are all about the people of Esta Faho, now a city in Elshar Zheiea in Rahn Estar Prov. All of these ladies play a role. Granny's SETI Goblin also affects a larger battle in a big way! These novels are also part of my 100 Days on Earth Project. All books that are part of 100 Days On Earth take place at the same time. These first stories that are also involved in various aspects of the a larger battle, begin on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. COVID is still raging. Earth is about to change radically. And, Adia's futures can be changed. I will include the first chapters of all my Battle Of The Cubes stories, then work my way through my catalog, uploading on Tue, Thu and Sat at 1 am. See my DannisWrites reading list for my suggested reading order.
