A twenty year drought hit america starting in 2013. It spread from California to the entire country by 2020. America has almost no free access to water as the government, as a form of power, created new trade laws and now controls the country's intake from reserves, rivers, oceans, ponds, creeks, and country borders which are all fenced off by electric fences and heavily patrolled by soldiers. America, by 2023, has confirmed that they are in a 'Water Famine' and falls into a dictatorship. 15 year old Kennedy Thomas , a scientific genius, spent the past nine years of her life developing a chemical recipe to artificial H2O. After finding her work has been stolen from the government, she has a short amount of time to retrieve it and end the famine before the government destroys her and her research.

I've learned that there will always be someone hungry for power, and they will do anything to get the power they want. Even if that means hurting people around them or even then self, they'll take anything even your rightful right to control your own mind and body. They'll take away your right to speak and use you to gain that power they seek. They'll make everyone turn against you, have you lose everything your learned to love. And once they get you to your breaking point they'll have you under their control. Once they reach that power they want, they'll use anything or anyone to keep everything In line. So Are you power hungry? Or Are you going to help me stop those who are power hungry? You decide
The Island
"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.

TROIKA - Countryhumans USSR x America
The world is electrified. Everything runs on electricity, from lighting to transport, life support to social media. Oblivion. Then, grid is down. And the world turns dark. And doesn't turn back on. America, the most forward thinking and innovative Western idealist, has answers. Her feminist values push her neck to neck with her male peers. She is one of the first to figure out that the grid will eventually fail, because of the vein of fossil fuel instability, trying to raise the alarm. When the grid does fail, she doesn't even get the satisfaction to say 'I told you so' before she is forced to collaborate in the TROIKA - a trio of biologist, engineer, and geophysicist that must find an immediate and then long-term solution to power the earth. Oh, and she has no choice. USSR, a cynic planner and injured war veteran, has questions. Torn between his eastern roots and western intelligence, he struggles to fit in, curb his aggression, and deal with personal loss. Instead of notifying the world of the impending grid failure, he builds a vast arsenal nuclear plants to power his land against the rules, and when the grid falls, his lights and machines keep running. When finally his arrest occurs, he finds himself in a unique situation, offered a position in the TROIKA - but if he declines, then a life of darkness behind bars awaits him. The goal of the TROIKA is simple: Be quick, be correct, be ready. It doesn't take long for USSR and America to loathe each other on principle, each with their own goals and ideals, clashing on everything from fashion to economics. Can they push away their pride and save the world, maybe even themselves? Or will their bitterness engulf everyone in thick, oily darkness forever? A single choice will ultimately decide their fate. TROIKA: The Future is Nuclear. The Future is Unclear. NOT for sensitive readers, please do not read if you cannot handle violence, loss, terminate disease or mature content - 16+ Thanks!

Toxic Love - CountryHuman AU
Edit (Dec 12, 2020): This story is a few months old now, and looking back at it in December, I'm now realizing that this story basically has no plot. It's also very cringey, so read this at your own risk. ------------------------------ Russia and America have been a couple for a year now, but after their first year of being a couple, Russia starts to take America for granted. He comes home late, leaves the house early, gets closer to "friends", and so much more. America loves Russia to the point of no return, and will do anything for Russia. But when Russia cheats on America, will America have the courage to finally stand up to him? Trashy art by: Me Dedicated to: RusAme fans, and peeps who LOVE dramaComplete
