A storm knocks out the power.
The doors lock.
No one can leave the maternity ward.

A young mother gives birth to a silent baby - pale, cold, and far too aware.
The machines glitch.
The lights flicker.
And every other newborn in the building stops crying at the exact same moment.

One patient swears she knows what it is - a prophecy, a warning, a birth that should've never happened.
But nobody listens to her...
because she's the one labeled unstable.

And by the time they realize she's right, the baby is already smiling.

It wasn't just a delivery.

It was an arrival.

And now, the end of the world has a heartbeat.All Rights Reserved

Subject 01A: The genesis of a new breed by L0velybae

The war had ended. Nations rose from ash, but the scars ran deep through the soil, the air, and the blood. The strong had grown weary. The weak had multiplied. The human body, once the symbol of endurance, had lost the title of "the indomitable human spirit." Minds broke more easily. Soldiers fell faster. And beneath the looming shadow of the Cold War, that weakness became unacceptable. A sickness they called weakness spread, some said it was in the water, others blamed the Americans, the air, even fate itself. One truth remained: the human body was no longer enough to survive. Many refused to accept it. They would sooner go extinct than admit they were no longer the "superior beings" they once believed themselves to be. But one man could not accept it. In a forgotten corner of Moscow, behind layers of concrete, a vision was born not from hope, but desperation. The Americans had weapons the world had never seen; nuclear arsenals that could erase cities in a single breath. The Soviets could not afford to fall behind. If they could not win through machines and missiles, they would win through biology. Even if it meant tearing families apart. Even if it meant rewriting what it meant to be human. Their goal was simple: to create a new generation, stronger, faster, immune to the limitations of the ordinary human body. Children would become soldiers before they could even walk. Minds and bodies sharpened for war. A new world would rise from the ashes of the old, an unbroken nation, one where no foreign foot would dare step. For a moment, all hope was lost. That was until Subject 01A. - ? ? ? "Is it wrong to want to live?" ? ? ? "It's WRONG to torture people for a stupid fantasy!" ? ? ?"Fantasy? Subject 01A doesn't look like a fantasy now, does he?"

Cries Sewn Into Skin by ParkAaimin

She hadn't meant to be gone so long. Eight hours, the maids whispered... eight hours since the child's first cry shattered the sterile walls. She kept her back to them, hands rough with clay and dust, sculpting a face she couldn't yet look into. Every plea from the door was a nail in her ribs: Come see her. Just once. Just a glance. But fear is louder than love. What if the world pressed its knives into this tiny body the way it had pressed them into hers? What if her daughter's eyes one day held the same hollow ache? When she finally stood at the threshold, her heart folding in on itself, she dared not reach out. The baby was too small, too soft, too impossibly clean for hands like hers... hands that had shaped pain into something almost beautiful. So instead, with a voice that cracked like old paper, she sang. Not to soothe the child, but maybe to quiet the screaming thing inside herself. "Hush, little ember, don't cry in the rain, The sky only weeps to mirror your pain. Sleep in the cradle of thunder and light, Dream past the scars that whisper at night. Hush, little ember, the world's far and wide, I'll carve you a shelter, I'll carve you a sky. Your bones will be strong where mine once did break, Sleep, little ember... you are not a mistake."

Paranoia by LetAairaSleep

It started with a text. A number. A job that paid too much for doing nothing at all. All she had to do was live. Be watched. And never ask why. The cameras were set. The money came in. Silence was the only rule. But silence has a sound. And it follows her. Even now. People look familiar, but she's never met them. Her belongings shift when she's asleep. And sometimes... she sees faces in places no one should be. She ended the job. But the watchers never left. And the strangest part? No one remembers the company. Not even her friend who sent the text. There are no answers. Only eyes. Everywhere.
