《Humanity’s Next Steps》Submission Form
Advertisement
Jennifer sat down to eat dinner with her parents.
"How was your first day of school, honey?" asked her mother.
Jennifer frowned and teared up.
"What's wrong?" asked her father.
"Father, I know you and Mother both worked hard saving for us to move to this enclave, but I miss my other school with kids like me."
"Explain …" Her father set down his eating utensils and folded his hands.
"Well …" Jennifer choked up.
"It's okay, honey. Take a deep breath." Her mother held her hand.
"So I entered the cafeteria and sat down with a group of kids laughing and giggling. They all stared at me and laughed again. Whenever I spoke, they would laugh louder while pointing at me. I left the cafeteria and ran down a hallway until a nice lady who saw me told me to stop and asked me what was wrong … then …" Jennifer cried.
"It's okay, honey, go on …" said her mother.
"She's a cybernetics teacher. She asked me where I came from. I explained how the two of you spent your life savings to buy this domicile to live in this enclave. The teacher said that's unfortunate because I'm not 'linked' to the neural grid, and it costs more than a domicile to get the surgical implants for that. So she had me meet up with the school principal, who gave me a form for both of you to sign."
"Oh? Let's see it," said her father.
The title stated: 'Submission Form for Special Education.'

Ravyn's Nights
Claire's life led her to love. Love led her to death. Death began her eternal struggle to retain both her love and her humanity through five centuries of endless nights. Book 1 covers 1583-1690. "Ravyn's Nights" is a six book series, with each book covering a different century. Book 6 was actually started first, and it takes place in the near future, bringing the story to a final conclusion. I then started writing the rest of the series when I decided that I wanted to share the details of the life that made her into who she is in Book 6. At the time of posting the first chapter of the series, books 1-2-3 are completed and books four, five and six are in various states of completion. There is currently a novella following a side character that does include a few crossover chapters featuring the main character. The novella will be included in the completed versions of books 4 and 5.

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.
