TWO INDESPUTIBLE FACTS:
1.) The Child of Hope wasn't born of flesh. 
2.) It was forced to feel.

In a world broken by war, famine, and humanity's own destruction, the last survivors turn to science-not for weapons, but for hope. From a sterile glass chamber awakens a child with monstrous strength and a mind meant to save the world. Observed, trained, adored... yet each life it touches comes at a cost. As guilt and confusion creep in, the question looms: can this "child of hope" survive its own conscience, or will the world it was meant to save consume itself whole?

De-Human - EN by Lustarius
23 parts Complete Mature
**CONTENT WARNING:** This story is intended for a mature audience and contains graphic depictions of body horror, psychological trauma, violence, and non-consensual themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. --- The world did not end with a bang, but with a terrifying, absolute silence. When a colossal machine of alien origin lands on Horsell Common, it doesn't bring war in the way humanity expected. Instead, it releases a silent black smoke that stills every living thing, turning them into statues of flesh, their souls extinguished. Arthur Penhaligon, a writer, finds himself a prisoner within his own paralyzed body, a lone conscious mind in a sea of empty shells. He is harvested and taken to a living, organic factory where humanity is no longer a species, but a resource to be processed. Trapped in a translucent vessel, his only anchor is a silent alliance with another survivor, Edmund. Together, they must navigate the horrific, intimate cycles of the alien facility, where bodies are harvested, minds are erased, and the failures are recycled into food. In a place where survival demands the perfect performance of passivity, what does it mean to remain human?
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola
8 parts Complete
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon.

Notes on myself: family, friends, society, technology, earth, space, life, existence. ----------------------------------- I am writing a book. My practice is to write a draft (called version 1), post it, then edit it multiple times while working on later chapters. I will update the version number on each edit. I will respond to comments and incorporate your feedback in each edit. Every section has version numbers posted at the top of the page. Use the links below to navigate to the posted sections. Available for reading at: - https://adammassive.substack.com/p/table-of-contents - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1740176/notes-on-myself/ These are my journal entries. I needed to get this out, to be better, to make you better, to make me better. This is my outbreath after so many years of holding in an inbreath.

𝐼𝑑'𝑠 𝑗𝑒𝑠𝑑 π‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘‘β„Ž." The year is 398 of the Ninth Era (or more accurately, 7700 AD). The Twenty Years War has ended, giving rise to a new age of mass surveillance, paranoia, and doubt. Angela, a Frame pilot fighting her way through her trauma, slowly becomes disillusioned with the authoritarian system in which she exists. The Knife, a mob fixer with the ability to bend states of matter, tries to crawl out from under what she's done only to get sucked right back in. Grey, a goofy and loyal friend with modest ambitions, is driven to act and save Angela, only to find himself embroiled in a deadly conflict he doesn't understand. And finally, Davis, an esteemed investigator, learns that the ideals he fought for were never real in the first place. As shadowy players make their move, these four lives collide violently. Frames drop, guns are drawn - and there won't be a winner, only more devastation. At the center of it all lies the Vessel, a reality-warping implant with unimaginable destructive capability. The Federation will kill without hesitation to get it back - and Angela just merged with it.

"How much they loved each other, these three" When a girl is given the opportunity to live what seemed to be a normal life, she takes a leap of faith and not soon after, things begin to crumble to pieces around her. She was unknown to dangerous things that lived in the room next to hers, and paid the price for it with the cost of lives that meant the world to her. She deserves an explanation for this, right? Mentions and depictions of unsavory things such as: -Drug & Alcohol use -Mild Romance & Sexual Themes -Abuse -Murder -Gore -Eating Disorders -Self-Harm Updates won't be consistent, there's no schedule for when I'll upload, and chapter lengths will vary :) I don't own the cover image, all credit goes to that person. I found the image on Pinterest.
Amid the Embers by Lucid_Dreams29
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Amid the Embers may look like your typical post-apocalyptic story. It's not. Yes, it starts with the Noxborne Virus. Yes, the world falls apart, fast. But this isn't about scavenging for canned beans or dodging zombies in alleyways. This is about what comes after, the slow, intimate rot of systems, memories, and mercy. It begins with Lily, a CNA in a Chicago hospital, witnessing the final moments of Patient Zero. From there, the story fractures into multiple points of view: survivors, manipulators, believers, and the broken children caught in between. A rising cult twists faith into control. Trauma rewrites love, loyalty, and identity. Each chapter ends with a bonus scene, hidden thoughts and memories, alternate angles, haunted echoes that refuse to stay buried. This trilogy blends psychological horror with emotional realism. Every laugh hides a wound. Every wound starts a story. Amid the Embers is not about saving the world. It's about surviving the memory of it and what it turns you into. ─────────────── **⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ ** This book contains graphic depictions of: -Child abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual exploitation) -Physical torture -Sexual assault -Mentions of child brides - Domestic violence and coercive control -Religious extremism and cult-like behavior -Graphic psychological horror -Substance abuse -Miscarriages -Homophobia and internalized shame -Death and grief -Mentions of suicidal ideation (non-graphic) -Gaslighting and manipulation Reader discretion is strongly advised. ─────────────────
