Something is looming over the city of Perinslaith; attacking radiowaves, attacking the very fabric of what it means to exist. 
What it means to live and to die.

In a dark and industrialized vision of the near future, the opening of a tear in the fabric of the universe threatens the survival of everyone and everything.  It will be those born on the boundaries and on the edges who will be charged with making the choices that could see the downfall or the saviour of the fragile world in which they subside.  
Yet; with minds as fragile as the bonds which keep the city from falling, remaining whole could prove just as difficult as saving their fragmenting world before it flickers out completely.All Rights Reserved

The Captured (free version) by RothuaAK

It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]

Shards of darkness (watty awards 2012) by 09seldenl

A terrible war is raging, the conclusion of which could decipher the future of the universe... Three planets. Parallel yet all intricately bound by the threads of reality. They have spun for all of time, in separate orbits in different galaxies. Un beknown to one another…. Until now. The Fabrics of the universe are fraying as the different dimensions rub together. Where they touch, catastrophes are unveiled in a series of events that change the concept of reality forever... Earth is afflicted. What’s not dead is dying. Lost to pollution from a thousand years of greed. For Ana, a young beggar woman, her life is always only a stones throw away from ending. She has a powerful gift of mind sight but will it be enough to slow the pursuit of murder, and starvation? And all the time, her mysterious past shadows her footsteps. Waiting to catch her… Meanwhile Doran, a being bound to the rotting carcase of a dead girl finds herself rescued by the very people who strove to destroy her. With them she finds sanctuary but it is only a matter of time before destiny catches up with her... And all the while he is watching he is waiting and he laughs. Laughs on. He will destroy the universe all the while believing he is its savoir. This is a war none will win but fight they must, until reality is no more… (Before long, Ana is snatched from her own planet to be plunged into a world frozen in time, where pirates steal from all the universe, prehistoric monsters dwell in freezing oceans and a powerful psychic force binds her to a cave to languish in fear. The world has become stronger, harder, callous. Misery lingers in every corner but soon it will have nowhere to hide. Every thing shall burn. And he will laugh…)

A World's Bounty by MyMintyWinters

The time has finally arrived, where the earth has reached its limit. Food, water, and land, all luxuries we've taken for granted, have been slowly looming down on us as a possible issue of the future. But that was just it. An issue of the future. So we ran and ran until we were backed right into a corner. The future has now become the present, and we can no longer run. So how does humanity respond, when it's very existence is threatened? Does it respond with words? With ideas and theories? But what if that doesn't work? Does it respond by blade? How will humanity take on its biggest enemy yet... itself.

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. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.

Truth Hidden In The Shadows by justin-drake

What will you choose when someone asks you what type of world you want? What will you do if the people you once protected turned against you? What will you do if you get to know the world you once lived in It isn't like what you and others say? A stunning story of a man alone against the whole world, full of conspiracy theories, action, adventure and truth. A gamble that changed the world. When the city is drenched with blood and screams of horror they ask me what I truly wanted if it was the bloodlust or destruction or screams of terror? I said No, But rather to kneel and live in Heaven I will choose to stand up and die in Hell instead. As for your choice I don't care since I'm going to die anyway.

Ended by DecrepitSoul

I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived. For years I wandered the earth, raiding abandoned shops for food, seeking shelter. Now I am fifteen, I feel like I have found a home. I have found a band of survivors like me. These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .
