two hundred years ago, war ravaged the world. Millions died.  In a way to protect the people, Pona was created. Peace of National Alliance. A wall was built around the survivors for their protection from the damaged world. 

But poverty and crime riddles Pona. A rebellion is burrowing into the roots of the society. One seeking equalty, truth, and justice. A rebellion called The Firebirds. In a world where living is split in levels of wealth, the rebellion is growing every day. 

Eighteen year old Blythe Root had been raising her younger sister in The Slums since she was fourteen when her mother disappeared. She would do anything to keep her sister alive, even steal. When she is caught stealing a pig leg from the butcher, she is sentenced to death, but she is granted the opportunity to live. She just has to make it through the court trials, a deadly maze of obstacles created by Pona leaders to thin out the population of criminals. 

She's swooped up by her representative, Cyrus Walker and his second in command, Liam Emmett. And she is sent to Pona Center to train where she meets the other sixty convicts she is to compete against, including the icy eyed scared boy named Colter Jacobson. 

Sent into the trials with only a pack of supplies, she is determined to beat the trials and return to her little sister. Blythe is willing to break in order to win.All Rights Reserved

My Deceiving Eyes by tinaheartz

In 2239, added as an ingredient for rat poison, a disease began to spread rapidly through the air. Decaying the bones it attaches to, inflicting paralysis and organ failure while its victims remain conscious enough to feel the pain that follow. Two years later, a vengeful ex-scientist released another sickness. Those who were infected suffered severe symptoms that would alter them into aggressive and animalistic creatures. These two illnesses quickly combined, causing a huge outbreak across the world and Wiping out almost 64% of the human's population. They called this contagious and infectious disease, "the Bliss." Eleven years later, after hundreds of failed trials, the Serpent department has created a solution: children who are immune to the disease. Raised within the boundless white laboratory walls, Adrian Bordeleau is cruelly exploited to develop a cure. As he grow up, a voice began to eat away at his soul. Gradually making him question what is keeping him from breaking out of the facility and destroy everything and everyone who dared to deceive him. Once you get a taste of power, you can't go back - My Deceiving Eyes is heavily inspired by the song Brutus by Buttress. As well as the Flare from Maze Runner, Deep Root disease from Gemini Home Entertainment, and the Grimace shake incident. [SECOND DRAFT]

NUMBER THREE. by caribou652

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see. An intense bubbling pressure filled my mind and a burning pain filled my body like lava. Was I moving? Fighting? I couldn't even tell. The pain is unbearable, and I have never felt so detached from my mind ever before. Is this death? All at once the fiery burning pain that filled my veins turned to ice, and a new pain formed, sending my body into a shock. I could feel my teeth chattering like a woodpecker on wood, and hear it slightly also; Why can I shiver but not scream? My thoughts didn't carry far, as I felt my body come slightly back into my control, the pain still under my skin and ears ringing. I started thrashing and yelling due to my new found control of my body. My voice sounded foreign to my ears, and came out more a gargle than a yell, something was in my mouth. I felt hands against my arms, restraining me and voices speaking quickly and hushed. A sharp pain in my neck brought me darkness and the pain finally stopped. Number Three is thrown into a confusing trial of tests regarding her new found abilities and developments, although she is left with no memory of what was before. All she knows is that her existence is for Project Interitus, or that's at least what the doctors who run the facility say. Luckily for her she isn't alone in these new found discoveries, three colleagues join her, One, Four, and Seven. All of them are wary and unsure of the facility in which they stay, nor trusting of the people who run the trials, as they continue to dismiss and silence any questions or thoughts they have regarding how they came to be or what they're there for. Memories resurface, and curiosity grows stronger as this group of test subjects become closer and more intuitive, making it more of a challenge for them to be controlled without rebellion. What is the purpose of her abilities? Will Three ever regain her memories of the past or did she never have one to begin with? Lets just hope she survives.

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)

The Terminus-Under the sea by hansisherly29

It was 2050, the year of the misery.The world War 3 happened, a nuclear war which ended up making the earth inhabited. But luckily there were survivors. There was an organization called 'Octagon Veranda' situated on a lonely Island which was covered by a special Nano cover which was supposed to last 300 years and it's a shield against radiation, bioweapons and chemical attacks. This organization of scientists was created to survive the World War, which could've wiped out humans from Earth. The communication system within the island was advanced and had no connection with outside to prevent AI attacks. It was protected in each possible way which is why humanity still lasts. It is 2201 now. Our little island is the only place humanity can survive on the earth but sadly it's a small island. The population is rising. So now we have a lot more problems to survive than radiation. There are two parts of the island. Inside and outside. Simply heaven and hell on the same island. If you can get inside you are more than lucky. If you get to live outside, you better pray for death. Inside the island is the place where the Octagon Veranda, the main buildings and the city are situated. Octagon Veranda, we work on eight sectors that help humanity to survive. Each sector has a chancellor, and together that's the Octagon council. Edward Sallow - Nano technology sector Kane Johnson - Chemical sector Kirstein Evens - Mechanicals and communication sector. Jessy Terco - Environmental science, Biology and human studies sector Elsa Blake -Medical sector. Bell Bostic - Security, exploration and social work sector Penny Browns - Hydrology and Farming Sector Jupiter Terco -Astro sector

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Shattered Symmerty by Geminitea26

In Symmetria, a city obsessed with looking perfect while everything underneath is falling apart, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. The leaders? They're more focused on keeping their polished image intact than actually running the place. But chaos is brewing, and guess who's making a comeback? Ravi, the power-hungry dictator with a tighter grip on the city than ever. And trust me, things are about to get messy. Enter Sunaina, a sharp, determined force of nature, and her loyal (but definitely not boring) friends Jenna and Marcus. They're caught in the middle of all this chaos, trying to save Symmetria from Ravi's iron fist, while dealing with the fact that trust is about as rare as a flaw in this so-called perfect city. Betrayal? Oh, it's lurking in every corner, and hidden agendas? They're sprouting like weeds in a manicured garden. The trio needs to figure out who's on their side-and fast-because the clock is ticking. In this city, loyalty is more fickle than the weather, and ambition? Well, that'll lead you straight into disaster if you're not careful. With the cracks in Symmetria's perfect facade getting deeper by the day, the leaders will have to face not just Ravi but also the enemies within their own ranks. As everything unravels, one question remains: How far are they willing to go to protect their "perfect" city? And who can they actually trust when every choice could pull them deeper into chaos-or worse? Buckle up for a wild ride. Power, ambition, and loyalty are about to collide in ways no one saw coming. Because in Symmetria, nothing's as perfect as it seems, and every move could be their last.

The Black Tapes: Or, How the Bouncer Bounced Back by Zerosum772

All is provided, yet everything is lacking. The Metro is the plenum, a future-city of color and exuberance, but its citizens are full of violence and greed. If there is any hope for peace it lies with the Iris, a machine that can link the minds of every human-being to create a single mind, a single energy. Someone just has to push the button. Sean, born into this world of hate, sets out to do the impossible: to take the data he has stolen off the internet and turn on the Iris. His journey will set off one of the greatest rat-chases the Metro has ever seen. All the big players are in on it, to stop or help Sean's mad rush to the Iris. There's Casey with her army of gangsters, who wants nothing else but to make sure the Metro stays a jungle. There's Randal the mutant, a creature of nightmare surrounded by other misbegotten souls, cursed with an inexplicable fate. And then there's Tommy the Bouncer, Tommy the Butcher, Tommy the Terrible, who just wants to beat everything to a bloody pulp. These players and more all have their eyes on the prize: the Black Tape, the switch that if flicked may set off an age of no-death. Maybe. In the end, Sean will discover that the Metro might be too far gone. Hope's slim, but it's there. He just has to try. Easier said than done.
