Moebius 2157 | ONC2019 Short List [Complete] by taivaan_sininen

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Danger Kid by bencicon

***This is the original story that inspired "Brittany and the Danger Kids." It is not part of the same continuity, simply a different story with similar characters and themes. It is a complete story and has been through many drafts, though I still need to hire a professional editor, so it's still choppy. Any updates are minor revisions, and shouldn't effect the plot.*** What would life actually be like if you were a professional super hero? Adam Jensen knows. Bosses, backbiting, raises, and promotions all get in the way of what could otherwise be the sweetest job ever. Also, Adam is trying to get revenge on the guy who murdered his friends. It's gonna be a long week.

Post America by FVE013

A nuclear strike is imminent in 90 minutes, your partner is miles away at work, the kids are across town in school and none of the cell networks are up. Do you have a plan? Meet the Tams, an ordinary American family as they confront a scenario that we are shockingly on the brink of today -complete isolation. They must find their way back to each other and decide what to do next without any information to go on except America is under attack. Yet there are no tanks, planes, or cars to be seen. There are no soldiers on the ground or places to get reliable information. Everyone is acting on instincts, some are leaving out of fear while others still don't believe a war is taking place at all. After the destruction and mayhem, the government arrives with promises of normalcy that clash with rumors of dwindling supplies. Fred's decision to leave with his family leads them on a perilous journey toward Arrow Hall-a sanctuary in the mountains. There, they uncover the truth behind the apocalypse and find unexpected allies.

Future Assassins by adeleece01

Want to read an action packed story about hope and tragedy? Then read this short story about how five assassins planted a seed of hope for the new world. Takes place in 2080, a time where human genes have been altered and chaos has erupted on all corners of the earth. Feel free to leave comments especially if you see a mistake. This story was written in little over a week so it's not going to be perfect. (Written a year ago for my English class) Prepare for some randomness. Inspired by Pinterest writing prompts. Cover made on Canva. (PS, it's only called 'Future Assassins' because I couldn't think of a name. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.)
