Augmented Earth by TheTimC

He grew up in the Country and could not have foreseen the two views of the same City. With the Device ON, bright colors and happy people. OFF. Blank walls, people sick and dying with other people in black watching on dispassionately.

The Not-So-Suicidal Jumper by goddess_maddz

"It's easier to show yourself to the world than hide your true self," I narrowed my eyes at the camera, and it seemed it was glaring back. If that's even possible. "So you find jumping off skyscrapers, bridges and high buildings is the solution to your depression?" "I do not have depression. This is simply for the thrill and adrenaline." An evil smirk crept it's way around my face. "That's why they call me The Not-So-Suicidal Jumper!"

The City - PewdieCry by author144

Nuclear warfare had finally ravaged the world, tearing all that anyone knew apart. Large cities began to fall, and any survivors took to the country side where nothing was barren and resources were plentiful. However, many found themselves drawn to the city wreckage where gangs of people took parts of it for themselves, and lived in semi-harmony. Cryaotic leads the largest one, taking charge after his father. He faces challenges head on, and kept the peace in the city for several years. So what happens when an outsider under the alias of 'Pewdiepie' appears? Cry's interest in him grows exponentially, and he finds himself drawn to the man. Their covert meetings create a friendship, a bond, that turns into something more than Cry bargained for. All is peaceful until the pair discover a plot bigger than them both that threatens to rip the city itself in half. In the long run, Cry is forced to choose between everything Felix knows about the outside world, and everything he grew to love inside the city.

Why Bees Don't Give Up by Morriganscrow

His future was planned before he was even born. Benjamin would continue his family legacy and become a pastor like his father and grandfather had, no other options. He would marry a beautiful woman and with her have a baby boy to continue his path, no other options. But Benjamin isn't like his father or grandfather, he does not care about any of those things, specially not for marriage.

Pluto&Mars by Just-AJ

PROLOGUE: There was a man sitting at home, fiddling with his pencil, trying his best to do his job. This man sat back and sighed. He was famished and in an empty house. He was about to move. Boxes littered the hallway. He had gotten a new job in another state and knew it would be better for him and for those around him. On his last deadline, he knew not what to think about, let alone the blank blueprints he was meant to fill in. He preoccupied his time with thoughts of the past, romance, and grief. He thought of the man he'd loved. The man he still loved. He thought of the house he dreamt of having with him. He considered what would make it special for them. He pictured them dancing in their living room. Then, he started to sketch his dreams, thinking of the story that would change his entire life. He attempted the home he wanted, and yet it wasn't perfect. It never was. Not for them, no. He stared at the blueprints for a long while before amending it to the customer's liking. That was his trick. This time; however, it was different. He started to remember their entire time together with simultaneous happiness and sadness. This man's name was Pluto. He was known as such since elementary, and it was, for such a long time, matching with one other. Mars. Pluto and Mars. This, now, was a distant memory. One of love and loss. This is the tale of two kids, two friends, and two lovers. Pluto and Mars.

Silence covers lies by KailenKram

I have recently moved to a big city and I don't like it. It is the exact place where you can feel like an insect. Every building is like a beehive and no creature differs from another. We all think about ourselves as unique which makes no-one special really, but calms the soul. Makes us believe that eventually something great has to come our way. Movies always have a happy ending in the sleeve for the main character. If cities are full of people feeling like protagonists then who deserves to be in a fairytale? I am here because I thought I had it all figured out. Successful boyfriend and a study place at university, but it was all set to collapse.
