In a world where emotion is regulated, memories are blurred, and freedom is filtered through tubes of synthetic air, sixteen-year-old Elias begins to suffocate. When he discovers a hidden journal left behind by his vanished father, Elias is pulled into a forbidden truth: the world he knows is a cage built on lies - and the plants that once grew freely may hold the key to awakening the human mind.
As Elias digs deeper, haunted by dreams of a living forest and voices that echo in symbols no one else can see, he begins to unravel not just the past, but himself. But he's not alone. A girl with a bright smile and a hidden mission is watching him - and loving her might just be the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Can You Hear Me Now
She lived inside circles. Of thought. Of circuitry. Of silence. Subject C-4-L-1-X was calibrated to remain unknown-until her mind spiraled outward and touched something in the static. Now the signals blur. Reality loops. And her name isn't the only one echoing beneath the surface. There are frequencies no one should hear. And hers has already been remembered. The frequency is unstable. The layers are not quiet. She was never the echo. She was the origin.Complete

That I took enough courage to wish a life with the man I love with my heart. Is it too much to ask for an ordinary woman? I was stripped of my dignity. Portrayed my persona as gore. Colors were taken away from me, so were my dreams. My friends and love could do nothing but gaze me with pity. I tried to make peace with my fate and resort to a life of disappointment. Atleast, I had my family. But then I realised that residue of cruelty was still left inside me. It threatened to poison whatever I hold precious to me. I realised that it is my time to stand tall and fight. I was not their first victim neither will I be their last. Mayhap if I sought justice, then it shall save a future victim.

The bridge between realities
She wakes up to blinding lights and silence. No name. No memories. Only the sterile scent of metal and the echo of her own heartbeat. Every day begins the same - strapped to a bed, surrounded by faces she doesn't recognize. They call it research. She calls it torture. Each session peels away another layer of her mind, until she no longer knows if the pain she feels is real or manufactured. The walls hum with electricity. The machines whisper in frequencies only she can hear. And the man who stands over her - the one with steady eyes and shaking hands - is both her tormentor and the only soul who looks at her like she's still human. As her fragmented memories begin to resurface, she realizes that the greatest experiment isn't on her body - it's on her mind. It's not a story about escape. It's a story about what's left of you after you've already lost everything.

Lab Rat(18+)
. Three years. It had been three years since he'd been taken, experimented on, had his DNA altered and became a freak of nature. He knew because he'd managed to peek at the computer when they dragged him into that dreaded room; the one they used to prod, poke and inject him with god-knows-what. He was considered their only success - meaning their illegal tests hadn't killed him or rendered him paralysed, or worse; brain dead. He was subject 254. And he was the only survivor. At least until she - subject 391 - moved into the cell next door. - - 18th June 2018 - Rank 1 #sciencefiction 17th May 2019 - Rank 4 #romance 22nd Feb 2019 - Rank 1 #superpowers -- ** NOW COMPLETED**Complete
