"Grace Gibson was murdered Mary Grayson, and that's the end of it". Says the policeman that gets killed in a shoot-out a hours later.

Mary Grayson lives in a world where lies kill, literally. The more lies you tell, the more likely you will die, so its best to tell the truth and be the nice citizen of District 78 that the government wants you to be. But when Mary is left reeling as her sister is found headless in Merryweather Lane with her husband nowhere to be found, she finds herself plunged into a world of death, evil truths and damn good lies.

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 :)

(CHATGPT)Whispers of the Fifth Horizon by guppyshark3

(This book is written entirely by ChatGPT) For centuries, humanity has thrived across five interconnected horizons-distinct layers of reality bound together by ancient, alien technology. Each horizon is a marvel of its own: one teeming with bioluminescent oceans, another carved from eternal storms, and one where gravity itself bends to will. Yet the balance between them is precarious, and the secrets of their creation have been lost to time. Niam Calyx, a cartographer renowned for her uncanny intuition, discovers a map unlike any she's ever seen-one that hints at a sixth horizon, uncharted and unattainable. Her find is as thrilling as it is dangerous. Before she can grasp its implications, she's pursued by the Obscura, a shadowy organization bent on controlling the horizons at any cost. Joined by a disgraced historian with a forbidden past and a technomancer struggling to master powers she never wanted, Niam embarks on a desperate quest to follow the map's trail. As they journey through shifting realities, they uncover truths that will shatter everything they thought they knew about the horizons, the Obscura, and humanity's place in the universe. But the sixth horizon is not just a destination-it's a reckoning. And as the threads holding the horizons together begin to unravel, Niam must decide how far she's willing to go to save a world built on the edge of collapse. A gripping tale of exploration, mystery, and the resilience of the human spirit, *Whispers of the Fifth Horizon* is a stunning debut that will transport readers to the very boundaries of reality.

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.

Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again.

So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
