The Veil Project

"It started with the helicopters."

Holloway Heights was just another forgotten neighborhood in the city-until the skies darkened, the signals went silent, and the walls rose overnight.

No one left. No one came in.
No explanation. No escape.
Only the silent hum of surveillance drones... and the slow unraveling of everything that made them human.

For 25-year-old Jenniya Persons, life was already a fight-juggling freelance gigs, caring for her little sister, and navigating the quiet grief of a life that never had room to breathe. But when something unseen begins to reshape the city from the inside out-physically, psychologically, and socially-Jenniya finds herself at the center of a terrifying truth:

She and every resident of Holloway Heights are unwilling participants in a classified human experiment.

Monitored. Manipulated. Changed.

As her neighbors fracture into factions and impossible abilities emerge from their suffering, Jenniya documents every moment-every disappearance, every lie, every act of defiance. Because someone, somewhere, needs to know what was done to them.

What's happening in the Heights isn't a mistake.
It's a blueprint for the future-and it's nearly complete.All Rights Reserved

The Turing Test - [Open Novella Contest 2019 Shortlist] by its_artemis_actually

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!

Fragmented | Volume 1 by Ruidafish

Who are you when your memories aren't your own? When your body isn't yours to control? Danika wakes up in a cold, sterile facility with no past, no identity-only a burning pain in her skull and a voice in her head that doesn't belong to her. The scientists call her a subject. The voice calls herself M. And the only thing Danika knows for sure is that she doesn't trust either of them. As she's thrust into brutal tests and forced to uncover the truth about herself, Danika realizes she's more than just a prisoner-she's a weapon. There's something inside her, something dangerous, and the ones who created her aren't the only ones after it. A war is brewing between those who want to control her and those who want to destroy her. However, with her mind fracturing and those she trusted turning against her, she's running out of time to choose where she stands. And the worst part? The more she learns, the more she starts to wonder... Was she ever meant to last? This story contains intense themes and is intended for mature audiences (18+). Read at your own risk.

Night Disease by kipekipe

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

Th-" And the signal cuts out. #52: There is someone you dream about every night, but you never imagine meeting them in real life. #49: "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." - Michael Scott

Project Immortal by wenshi_nykx

When Idalia Valentine discovers her own grave, her world begins to unravel. Nightmares point her to a hidden lab, a chip in her brain, and memories of a project she was never meant to remember. ______________________________________________________ Idalia Valentine wakes every night, haunted by nightmares of her own death and the shadow of her sister Thelesa. When Thelesa dies in a way that defies decay, strangers claiming to be from a hospital take the body away, Idalia's world begins to crack. A boy named Nate appears, swearing he was her husband. He shows her a grave with her own name carved into the stone and inside it, a body that looks exactly like her, impossibly fresh. Numbers she's whispered in her sleep lead to the site, and soon to something far darker; a hidden lab in the forest, a chip buried in her brain, and fragments of a life she cannot remember. As Idalia searches for the truth, her nightmares and reality collapse into each other. Thelesa was never who she seemed. Nate may not be real. And Idalia herself is not who or what she thought she was. Project Immortal was never about life after death. The only question is how many versions of her will die before one finally survives? ______________________________________________________

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

Lunar Virus ✔️ by its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Biopod Serie #0: Rust & Stardust by MikhaelP03

"After everything, you're... one of the few things that actually feels real." In 2030, the sky cracked open. By 2040, Earth belongs to the Biopods. In the present, 2049, humanity has mostly given up, trying to survive through this broken world. They arrived as silent meteorites, egg-shaped monoliths that burrowed into the Earth. At first, humanity thought they were dormant. But they weren't. Each Biopod is a living factory: it devours biological matter-humans, animals, forests-and reconfigures it into cold, sentient machines. The machines they make vary, adapting to terrain, resistance, and resource availability. They don't just kill. They convert. Matthew Riots, gunner from the Frontline, no longer wishing to fight, left the Frontline for Zeta. There he reunited with his sister, living out their quiet lives. But no peace truly exists in a world full of Biopods. Zeta fell, he and his sister completely lost contact. Promising to keep surviving no matter what, Matthew journeyed to the promised land of Athena. The story of Rust And Stardust gives us insights on what little humanity is left in the apocalypse. A story focusing on the theme of family, love and human's connection. In a broken world where survival is a luxury, will our main character finally find peace and happiness again?
