Before that winter, Clara had been a normal teenage girl. She spent about twelve hours a day using one of her family's many computers on an OnLife site. She'd never seen any of her friends in person. She'd hardly ever cracked a window or door. She'd never even left her own home. 

And why would she need to? Everything she could ever ask for was just a mere touch or simple command away from somewhere OnLife. Her necessities, her education, her career, her wants, and all the money she owns is all OnLife.

But that's about to change...

Somehow, one little mistake puts the US government on her tail. Clara has no choice but  to leave her home and family to flee into the unknown, where she has to rely on instinct and make careful choices. Along the way, she makes interesting discoveries and is forced to wonder if everything she's ever known is real, or just a lie.

Once Again by DragonSwirl

"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes.

The Approximation by Scribblerofdreams

(COMPLETED) Men are of the inferior gender, or that is what people believe in The Free Republic of Women. And becuase men are less than human all men are slaves and women are the masters. And for perfect 18-year-old Otera that has always been her reality. Her only fault is that she's straight in a world where everyone is lesbian. But her solution is to hold it all in before her fault hurts herself and anyone around her. Until her sister is given the slave who will father her children. After meeting him Otera begins to question everything she knows. Battling not only against what society wants but also her own heart. "Everybody feels love,' I answered 'It's because we love, that's what makes us human."- Res ------------------------ "This story was incredible. There were so many twists and turns. You didn't know who to trust and who was right. It was impeccably written and I'm glad that I got the privilege to read it"@ sjm-marvel-music

Touch: Awakening by AmandaKByrne

The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)

Morph [EDITING] || Wattys 2017 Winner by hana_andromeda

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

ROGER [Wattpad Version] by veelozada

[Book 1 in the CODES series] || Clara is stubborn and installs Roger, an AI program, inside her head in the most unconventional way, but because she's severed Roger's ties to his data, Clara is the only free citizen within a city that wants her mind... and her soul. ** In 2102, after the fall of separate nations, the world stands unified and equal. Under the Province, citizens know only the perfection the Government has to offer. And that's the only world Clara knows; simplicity and technological bliss. So, when Government officials announce the VF program, equipped with the highest artificial intelligence science has to offer, she is all for it. Who wouldn't want a computer assistant that not only takes care of your everyday needs, but is meant to be your bestest friend, too?It sounded as perfect as Province made life out to be. But all good things come with a price. What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul. Because no utopia can be built on truths, and no amount of sublimity can cover lies. Clara's only means of survival is the one rogue VF in her mind: Roger. ** | Completed | Exclusive to Wattpad ** featured: 💥 @Speculativefiction - A Crack In The System highest rankings: 💥 #43 in Science Fiction! 4/24/18 💥 #1 in Cyborg 6/16/18 💥 #27 in scifi-fantasy 8/04/18 💥 #1 in Artificial Intelligence 8/04/18 💥 #19 in Cyberpunk 11/29/20 * Awards: ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 The Stella Luna Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- Cognition Awards 2018 ⭐ 3rd Place in Science Fiction -- The 2018 Flavored Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- 2nd Annual Ohana Awards ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 Annual Medley Awards

The Lost and the Hidden by EMLGCN

A dystopian story in which people have unnatural powers Lorelai Walters can't remember much of her past. She's always lived on the streets, she never knew home. Then one day, some soldiers turn up in a shopping center where she's staying for the night. They take her to a place where more teenagers live. It's nothing like a home. There, they have to train, though nobody knows what for. When Lorelai decides not to do what she's being told and take things in her own hands, she doesn't know what awaits her. As she tries to escape the people trying to use her-and many others-for their plans, for the first time, she gets the chance to find out what happened to this destroyed and abandoned world-and maybe also about her past. English isn't my first language, so I'd be happy to receive some criticism and also tips. I'd like to know if my story is interesting, so I know if I should go on and how to improve it :) I know, my writing isn't so good in the beginning, but I think it gets better throughout the story.

This Is Not The End. by BeaDarby

Skye Jones knew the world had been screwed to hell years ago. What she didn't realise is that she would be expected to save it. After five years in an isolated facility run by the American government with other kids like her, Skye is released into the nightmare beyond the barbed wire walls to trial a safe route to Washington DC. It's the first breath of fresh, unfamiliar air which she wouldn't get beaten for, but that doesn't take away the danger. She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there. With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital. Yet, this isn't as straightforward as they thought, and they begin wonder if they'll live to make it out the other end. [60'000 - 70'000 words]
