Versions of Vincent
**ONC2026 Round 2 Ambassador Pick** Vincent is having an amazing morning. The most popular guy in the office has given him a high-five, a pretty girl has offered him a coffee, and he's been invited to join the frisbee team. It's almost like they've confused him with someone else. Someone popular. Someone fun. Someone about to bring Vincent's life to a shuddering halt. My entry for ONC2026 based on this writing prompt: 77. Everyone in town remembers you differently, as if everyone has lived a different version of your life. Cover design by @elicatucciComplete

project one do or die.
DO OR DIE Some wars are fought for land. Some for power. This one is fought for survival itself. When half the world's population dies in a single hour - no warning, no mercy, no explanation - Supreme Commander Dhruv Khatri becomes the last line between humanity and total extinction. Operating from Sky Fortress - the most powerful vessel ever built - he commands the last organized military force on earth. No home base. No allies. No rules. Only one mission. Find who did this. And destroy them completely. But the enemy that killed four billion people in sixty minutes isn't finished. And the most classified secret aboard Sky Fortress - a machine that should not exist - may be the only weapon capable of ending a war that spans not just the world. But time itself. Dark. Brutal. Ruthless. This is Do Or Die.

Circumpolar
If you got anyone to describe Jessie Reynolds-Somber in one word, it would be 'lucky.' She survived childhood leukemia (twice), has the best friend-slash-roommate in the world, and she's studying something she loves at the university she's forever adored. But not even November can describe why she feels so incomplete, as though she's forgotten to do something she'll never get a chance to do. Why she feels like she's failed---no, worse, like she's a failure. [FORMERLY AN ENTRY FOR THE 2026 ONC]
