Tango Under the Moon
**Short Description**: Coco, a non-binary tango dancer, has always felt the magic of the dance floor-but never like this. One fateful night at a moonlit milonga, their dance becomes a portal to glimpses of alternate realities: lives they could have lived, paths they could have taken, and loves they could have lost or gained. Each step reveals fragments of these parallel lives, offering both tantalising possibilities and haunting regrets. But as the visions grow more vivid, the boundaries between reality and illusion begin to collapse.

The Altered.
guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)
