In a future where humanity has been redesigned, imperfection is the last act of rebellion.
Elora lives in a world where disease is obsolete, aging is optional, and identity is as customizable as a wardrobe. The Cosmopolitan-an elite augmentation emporium-promises salvation through surgery, selling perfection to the highest bidder. On her 18th birthday, Elora is expected to begin her transformation, to shed the girl she was and become the woman society demands.
But when a routine visit reveals her body's "flaws" and her life begins to feel more manufactured than real, Elora starts to question the system that raised her. The deeper she dives into the world of enhancements, the more she begins to see the cracks in its glossy veneer-cracks that reveal a haunting truth: perfection isn't progress. It's control.

The Way She Looked at Him
It started with a look. It won't end with one. She never meant to notice him - not like that. But once she did, she couldn't stop. A quiet woman begins to orbit a stranger, her fascination growing with every accidental meeting, every shared glance. To her, it feels like love - gentle, fated, inevitable. Yet the more she looks, the less she truly sees him. What begins as longing slowly bends into something else: fixation, control, the illusion of connection. The Way She Looked at Him starts as a tender, introspective love story and deepens into a study of obsession - how easily affection can become delusion, and how dangerous it is to mistake noticing for knowing.

He has a reputation to uphold and is never one to back down from a challenge. While life is about sacrifices, Talia and Lucas soon realize they may be in for more than they bargained for.

The Same Old City
Imagine living in a city that does not allow you to leave at all, exploits you as a person, student, and worker from the day you are born, determines and assigns the "perfect" job for you before you are born, does not allow you any personal freedoms (unless it is alone in your bedroom or bathroom with caution). It will torture or execute, depending on the status or identity of the person, if any law is broken no matter how small or big the law is. That's the city of Dimwar. Tall, thick concrete walls around its borders prevent anyone and everyone from leaving the city- anyone who tries will be searched, chased down, and executed. One teen girl, Taylor Kensley, begins a revolution to change this and fight for the trapped, oppressed people of the city. Will she succeed-- and how long will it take? WHAT will it take? And what will she have to lose to get there? **WARNING: Contains mature scenes with mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, murder, and bigotry.
