Phase One: Zone Extinct
They went camping.
They weren't the only ones in the woods.
Eight friends enter a remote valley for a disconnected weekend off the grid. No cell service. No trails. No way to call for help.
What they find is a zone scrubbed from maps, marked by rusted fences, buried bones, and unnatural silences.
Something's out there.
Something old. Something watching.
As the bodies start to fall, survival becomes the only rule.
But the zone has rules of its own.
Extinction is just the beginning.

𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 · 28x FEATURED · An Asian sci-fi retelling of The Little Mermaid that steers the tale you know in a whole new funky direction | An ambitious teen mermaid must venture beyond her guarded underwater city and brave the polluted, climate-ravaged wilds of the Indian Ocean, in order to find her human soulmate and forge a better future for her people. *** Calliathron is the epitome of modern sea life--a bustling mer-city contained within a coral atoll in an alternate Indian Ocean. Yet, the ripples of a changing world beyond have begun to seep in, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. Who said life's easy for a teen about to graduate high school? Even more so when one is a pastel goth gamer mermaid trying to scrape by in a mobile home with a grumpy grandmother who's always complaining about the "human infestation". Maybe the troubled city-state will embrace a new dawn when merpeople and humans coexist--a future that Dea is determined to work hard for. Noble causes aside, just getting to see a notorious human is number one on her bucket list. Now, as if school, a part-time job and building a political career aren't enough, a chonky sea cow has been following her for days. It's time to return him to the wild--not like she'd swim into a human.

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

DeReg
They called it an experiment. With the homeless population rising in Albuquerque, the deregulation zone was created. A vast stretch of empty desert where the homeless could claim a piece of land and make home, at the cost of spending every day in defense of it. No taxes. No laws. No safety nets. What they didn't expect was the artists, the anarchists, the off gridders, the dead-beat dads, the kids crushed by student loan debt. For some, it is a daydream of living life fully on their terms. For others, it is the last hope to make a home, find purpose, and make family wherever they can find it. Some come to disappear. Some come to be belong.
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.
