A 100-chapter sci-fi thriller, told in 100-word chapters.

Eli wakes up in a neon-lit city with no memory of how he got there. A glowing number-100-is burned into his arm, ticking down. When it reaches zero, he will disappear.

He's not alone. Nova, a girl with the same countdown, claims they're trapped in a system that erases their minds every cycle. The only way out? Find the Core before it resets them forever.

But the city is watching. The closer they get to the truth, the faster time runs out. And Eli is beginning to remember something he was never meant to know.

The countdown is ticking. The cycle must break. But what if the real trap isn't the city... it's him?

143 parts Complete
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series. New chapters will be posted on Fridays for as long as it takes to tell the whole story. For Wattpad only, chapters are split up by individual scenes-if you would prefer the whole chapters in single pieces, please visit my homepage or another site where I post this story, thanks!
