When Daniel Hawk got a letter from Hugo Barnes inviting him to a robot-filled park, he was skeptical but too curious to refuse. What he discovered shattered his view-not just of his own world, but of the one he entered. Cold Hands reveals a haunting vision-utopia or dystopia?-where robots recreate eras so perfectly, you can't tell human from machine. Not until you feel a cold, unyielding hand. Is Barnes a craftsman, or a genius twisting reality? Hawk's visit might uncover the truth-or wake him up.All Rights Reserved

SIN by AstroDrifter

"I've stitched up bodies, broken hearts, and shattered souls. But how do I fix a life when I've become the mess I'm trying to escape?" -Sin One moment, I was a 63-year-old doctor, the next-a 14-year-old freak, trapped in a body that isn't mine. A mistake. An anomaly. A secret worth killing for. The people in power want to own me, dissect me, erase me before anyone else discovers what I am. But I don't give a damn about their wars, their politics, or their rules. I only care about one thing-bringing my husband back before the body farm drains the last flicker of his mind.

We aren't supposed to feel by InsidetheWords

Robots aren't supposed to feel. How could they? Every organ in their body is a synthetic replica of the real thing. Man can't replicate a conscience... Yet, one robot stands out in ways never thought possible by its creators. Who is this robot? What does it feel for this world it is destroying? And will it save it in the end?

Elyra: Legend Reborn by AoNoNgao

There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

Amongst the Stars by Fangirlly02

My lungs and muscles burned. Everything in my body begging me to stop but I had to keep moving. I had to get away. I rather die than go back to that lab but this building was a maze! Never ending hallways and big metal sliding doors that you see in space movies. All I could hear was the patter of my bare feet, heavy breathing, and my heart beating in my ears. "Hey!!! Stop her! Whatever you do, do NOT let her get away!!" A man yelled after me but I couldn't look back. Even as I heard the whoosh of metal doors opening and the thudding of boots chasing after me.

The experiences of emotional pain and persecution pushes you to self-isolaton. Retreating into a shell where the thoughts of reaching out feel impossible unless you're certain someone truly cares about you. In a world of billions, even when surrounded by people, you feel completely alone. Being different isn't inherently bad, it sets you apart and makes you unique. But that same difference can become the source of a deep loneliness. With a pandemic breaking out, turning the dead into mindless, flesh-eating beasts, how does that isolation change? Will someone who's always felt alone find themself swallowed by the despair of a world consumed by death? Will their differences weigh them down, dragging them into the growing sea of corpses?

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Brassworks by OfficerManKorn

There is a saying in the Badlands: There are many ways to get to the Brassworks, but all leave in a box. The Old World is gone, smashed beneath the heel of the great mountain, King Abaddon, many generations ago. A new civilization has risen from the ashes, struggling to survive in the new and harsh landscape. At the edge of a poor governance, in a dying town, a young blacksmith just ran afoul of the law. In some cities, that would mean a trip to local jail or court. In the Badlands, that means the Brassworks. Theo Palmer can't recall why he ended up in the hellish prison, but he knows he'll never leave. The Warden needs workers for the Forge deep underground. The drums of war are beating to the north, and only a twisted weapon from the past can save the people of the County. But there are many powers in the Vale of the King. Some seek to preserve the peace, while others aim to end it. Some hunger for justice, while others hunger for flesh. Theo has fallen into a violent world of monsters and metal, and his very survival depends on which side he chooses.
