androids crime fantasy mystery theme-park

They thought Future World was just a theme park. But behind the shimmer of holograms and neon lies something broken, buried... and dangerous.

For Nick, Scott, and Judy, the summer was supposed to be unforgettable - a last hurrah before adulthood claimed its due. But when a tragic accident inside the ultra-advanced amusement park known as Future World takes Scott's life, Nick and Judy are left chasing shadows and digital ghosts in a world that doesn't want to be understood.

As they dig deeper, they uncover a chilling web of secrets: sentient AIs with childlike wonder, a corporate empire with reach, and a friend whose death may not have been an accident at all. The lines between grief and obsession blur as Nick and Judy spiral into a mystery that threatens to consume them - and maybe the entire city.

A story of memory, loss, and the terrifying cost of progress, Electric Summer is a slow-burning science fiction thriller that asks: What do we owe the dead - and how far would you go to learn the truth?All Rights Reserved

The Unexpected by 1800SlapAHoe

Tyler and Mia have been best friends since elementary school. They've been through a lot together, including giving each other their first kiss and Mia losing her virginity to him. That night changes everything and Mia finds herself struggling to maintain their friendship. She tries to move on but Tyler is always there. He doesn't want to be with her but he doesn't want anyone else to be either. Throughout her struggle, Mia learns more about herself and meets many new people. But will any of that matter if she loses her best friend? "What is wrong with you?" Mia asks in disbelief. Tyler sighs, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't do relationships. You know that," he replies, shrugging slightly. Mia contemplates what to do. She has two choices: 1.) Walk away and never look back, meaning she'd lose him. Or 2.) Forget anything ever happened and allow him to continue walking all over her, meaning she wouldn't lose him. Either way, she'd be the one getting hurt. "Then I don't 'do' this friendship anymore. Goodbye, Tyler." {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).

ModPark by turbomun

ModPark used to be a high-tech haven for thrill seekers from around the world...but that was before a series of mysterious, fatal accidents caused the theme park to shut its gates for good. Seven years later, only the abandoned property remains, a creepy reminder of the unexplained tragedy.

The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

The Android of Atlantis by ProlixRemedy

In ancient Atlantis, an expansive and diverse continent that spanned the Atlantic Ocean some 14,000 years ago, the world stood on the precipice of change. For the first time in history, a humanoid, sentient android walked among humans. Ashur Napahu was the first of his kind. Designed using code for military super soldiers, Ashur's loving, scientist mother left him to a world not yet ready for a conscious, self-aware machine. Yet when he meets an Atlantean woman carrying a deep secret and dreaming of realizing her own potential, something awakens within him. He experiences love in its purest and most fragile form, navigating a society that sees him as unnatural. But love, like logic, is not immune to contradiction. As the weight of expectation, prejudice, and fate bears down on him, Ashur must confront the limits of his existence... and of those around him. Atlantis may have mastered the engineering of sentient machines, but it has yet to master the wisdom required to coexist with them. Journey into ancient Atlantis--a world where the lines between man and machine blur, and a sentient android dares to ask the most human question of all: What is the meaning of life? ******** This novella was written for the Open Novella Contest 2025, based on Prompt #71: "In a world where artificial beings and humans coexist, one artificial human embarks on a journey to understand love and emotions-only to uncover more than expected."
