ambys2025 dystopian memory sciencefiction scifi shortstory

Memories are power. Memories are profit. Memories are everything.

Kael has built his life on stealing them, one dive at a time, in a city that chews people up and leaves them hollow. But when a routine job uncovers the Hive-a government program designed to strip individuality from every citizen-Kael finds himself at the heart of a rebellion he never wanted.

With his estranged sister hunting him, a charismatic ally hiding secrets of his own, and an ancient force whispering from beyond, Kael must face a truth that terrifies him: he may be the only key to stopping the Hive.

But saving humanity might cost him the one thing he values most: his freedom.Tutti i diritti riservati

Her entire life, Kat Cortez was groomed to be the perfect wife-obedient, graceful, silent. Under her father's strict hand, she was taught that a woman's worth was measured by her submission. Men were the kings of the world-worshipped, obeyed, revered. She was never meant to rise; only to serve. But Kat learned to burn. Defiant, fierce, and unyielding, she refuses to play by the rules written by men who fear women like her. She won't be silenced. She won't bow. She fights for what's right, no matter the cost. Nikolai Vetrov -cold, merciless, untouchable. A man whose wealth and power make the city kneel. He rules through fear, and no one dares say no. His word is law. His world is dominance. One is fire. The other, ice. When they're forced into a marriage neither wants, it's more than just a clash of wills-it's a war. And in a war like this, someone always has to surrender. But what if neither one will?

Laika, Feather, and the Event Horizon di XerxesMax19

Laika was never supposed to come back. That was the contract she signed without knowing, that she'd die for the ego-- sorry, the "betterment" of humanity. And this Laika knew that. That's why Laika is... Laika. Sailing the void, jumping through countless wormholes on a four-and-a-half person crew sent out to find the center of the universe and survey potential colonies on the way. So when Laika's broken eye starts aching more, starts summoning nightmares from painful memories so strong they threaten the rest of the crew, there's really only one choice to make: To follow the event horizon. After all, Laika was never supposed to come back. A story about seeking purpose, facing the past, and accepting the inevitable. Oh and, finding the center of everything, I suppose.

Hive Mind: The Awakening di WindsofLiterature

In a world ruled by the Hive Mind, individuality is a fleeting concept. At the age of 22, every human is absorbed into the Collective Consciousness-a network where all thoughts, memories, and emotions are shared, erasing privacy and personal identity. For centuries, this connection has ensured peace, prosperity, and unity, but at the cost of self-expression and freedom. Wilson has always feared his 22nd birthday. Unlike his friends, who eagerly await the day they'll "Become One," Wilson treasures his individuality and dreads the thought of losing himself to the Collective. As the hour of his integration approaches, he flees into the wilderness, determined to spend his final moments as his own person. But when an accident on a cliff leaves him injured and unconscious, Wilson awakens to an impossible reality: the Hive Mind has not claimed him. For the first time, he experiences a world where he knows that his thoughts will remain alone-but it comes at a price. The Collective Consciousness views Wilson's existence as a dangerous anomaly, and it will stop at nothing to bring him into the fold. Alone, hunted, and questioning everything he's ever known, Wilson embarks on a journey of survival and self-discovery. As he unravels the mysteries of the Hive Mind, he must decide: will he fight to remain free, or will he surrender to the inevitable? "Hive Mind: The Awakening" is a gripping sci-fi tale of rebellion, identity, and the human spirit's fight against conformity. Perfect for fans of dystopian adventures and thought-provoking narratives, this story will challenge your understanding of freedom, unity, and individuality.

Bound by the reach di peneloperosewrites

He's lived in Eros Reach for years, yet carries secrets no one dares to ask about. And he's angry-at her, at the system, at whatever he left behind. Sent to a remote facility with one goal-produce three children, then return to their separate lives-Ariana tries to follow the rules. Kael refuses to play along. But in the silence, in the stillness, something begins to change. What happens when the person you're forced to live with becomes the only one who truly sees you? And what if the greatest threat to the system... is falling in love? "The system chose for them. But the heart never follows orders."

A Heart In Orbit di bellaisprettybored

Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world, lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth, as they knew it, is gone-erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow, the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't-even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor, and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time-tossed humans, and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met- curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet... a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason, Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.
