A Thousand Cuts explores the events of a single day of unrest in modern England, following an eclectic range of characters through growing chaos, sparked by the announcement of a controversial parliament bill. Drawn from disparate social backgrounds, the consequences of these characters' actions-not only for themselves, but for those whose lives they are scarcely even aware of-become apparent, as the unrest spirals out of control into a devastating series of nationwide riots

THE REASONS // Bellamy Blake - The 100 [book 3; inproces] by KylieRutledge17
68 parts Ongoing Mature
Book III: The Reasons - when the world ends, what's left to live for Three months have passed since the tragedy at Mount Weather, but the scars it left behind are still raw, still bleeding beneath the surface. The cost of survival is no longer measured in lives lost - but in souls shattered. Peace was promised, yet all they've found is silence where laughter used to be, tension where unity once stood. And for Madison, the silence has become deafening. The abuse she thought she left behind has only grown darker, more consuming. Every bruise hidden beneath layers of clothing, every glance over her shoulder, is a reminder that her war never really ended. She's been forced to run. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by those who want to take her power, she must find a way to survive with nothing but her instincts, her pain, and the crushing weight of guilt. All around her, the world teeters on the edge of collapse. A.L.I.E has risen from the shadows of the old world, a digital ghost with a god complex, whispering promises of peace through control, order through annihilation. The lines between right and wrong blur as survival grows more brutal, and each of them must face their own demons while trying to hold onto the last pieces of their humanity. Loyalties will be tested. Friendships will fracture. And love, in the face of such relentless loss, will be both a refuge and a battlefield. For Madison, the journey ahead is not just a fight for survival - it's a reckoning. Her addiction claws at her like a second skin, her guilt threatens to consume her from within. She is broken. But the fate of the human race may rest in her hands. And in the end, she must answer the hardest question of all: Can someone so damaged be the one to save them all?

THE 1000: Archive 01 - CASES Genre: Literary Fiction | Psychological | Mystery | Speculative Fiction | Existential Drama | Anthology Drama | Tech-Realism Language: English Author: Ardini Hapsari A thousand stories. A thousand lives. They don't know each other. But something connects them all. 🕯️ Every life seems ordinary-until you look at it from an unusual angle. 1000 short stories. 1000 real lives, unaware of one another. A taxi driver in Tashkent. A waitress in Lisbon. A student who lost 11 minutes of time. Nothing seems extraordinary. But something keeps repeating. A symbol. An object. A small decision that changes everything. Written in a realist style with a contemporary atmosphere, each chapter captures a fragile slice of life, filled with moral ambiguity and quiet tension. There are no heroes. No villains. Just people-and the overlooked cracks in their lives. You can start from any chapter. You can choose who you want to meet first. But the further you read, the more you realize... this isn't just about them. Each chapter stands alone-one character, one conflict, one life moment. But amid the routine, something strange begins to surface. What first appears as coincidence... starts to feel like a pattern. And the pattern spreads-without reason, without explanation. This first book is a collection of fragments you can read in any order. But the deeper you go, the harder it is to believe it's all just a coincidence.

Reader discretion is advised. Humanity faces extinction once again. A coming nuclear apocalypse, known as Praimfaya, threatens to annihilate all life. Lexa discovers this impending disaster at the end of the previous book, and the stakes have never been higher. Two children, Nora and Aden...absent from Lexa and Skyla's lives...suddenly return, forcing the pair to confront both past and present in a fight for survival. Clans are fractured and tensions run high, and Lexa and Skyla must unite everyone under a single banner and secure a safe bunker to endure the coming devastation. Before the bunker and the crucial conclave, Skyla faces a dangerous attack that sets off a chain of events neither she nor Lexa could foresee. The aftermath changes the course of their lives forever, challenging their trust, strength, and bond. After a series of devastating events, including the conclave where Lexa declares unity for all clans, the bunker becomes a stronghold for Skyla and Lexa. Eventually, Lexa entrusts Octavia to watch over the clans while she, Skyla, Clarke, and thirteen others escape to an island. On the island, Skyla uncovers the truth that will alter Lexa and her future. Clarke and eleven others escape into space, believing Skyla sacrificed herself to save them. Skyla, in turn, believes Lexa and the children abandoned her. Yet Lexa and the two children remain on Earth, their fates uncertain. Weeks later, a six-year-old Nightblood named Madi is found by Skyla, Lexa, and the reunited children, surviving the fallout of Praimfaya. But the six years of peace shatters when a space prison transport unexpectedly lands on Earth. Loyalties shift, survival is threatened, and strangers bring new dangers, placing humanity's future on a knife's edge again.
