⋆The Survivors [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]⋆ by LauraTCollins_

In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other. After five years of peace and prosperity, then the peace ran out and the invasion began.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series

Tales From A Lonely Planet: A Sci-Fi Anthology by DougWallace1973

Award-winning author James Douglas Wallace brings together ten sci-fi short stories (flash fiction) in a single volume, each an opportunity to escape into a new reality. While the cover may not scream hard sci-fi with spaceships and lasers, it hints at something different, an almost indescribable existential melancholy shared by all of us. Are we alone in the universe? What's out there? Are we ready for it? Worthy of it? These are the questions explored in this volume. You'll find parallel universes, time travel, quantum entanglement, post-apocalyptic desolation, cloning, benevolent aliens, and alien invasions. And hopefully, they will bring a smile to your face as they have for so many other readers.

Cyberblade City: Resurrection Protocol by Bonecrusher213

In the ashes of a global zombie apocalypse, one man rose from the wreckage-not as a savior, but as something... else. Former military officer Xavier Williams was mortally wounded in the final days of the old world. Revived through experimental cybernetic technology, he became the first of his kind: a fusion of man and machine with a mind forged in war and a body built for a new era. Reborn as an immortal cyborg, Xavier rebuilt the ruins of Miami into Cyberblade City-a neon-lit metropolis of steel, surveillance, and synthetic life. But as civilization claws its way back under his iron rule, Xavier begins to confront the one enemy he never trained to face: his own fading humanity. Haunted by memories of who he once was and tempted by the cold logic of the machine he's become, Xavier must navigate conspiracies, rising rebellion, and the lingering undead. Because something in the shadows is stirring-something that threatens not just the city he built, but the fragile soul he's trying to reclaim.
