Gustavo visits Chicago's World Fair eager to see the mystifying aliens that fly the windy skies, but when a piece of metal lands in the street, he soon finds there are more dangers within the city than a spaceship colliding with Earth. **** Gustavo isn't the adventuring type but when his uncle invites him to the city to attend the World Fair, he couldn't say no. But he didn't expect to meet an alien named Vera, who like him, never ventured far from home. He also didn't expect to dodge a piece of metal falling from the sky. He continues to tell himself it was just an accident, all will be fine. But the look in Vera's eyes tells him otherwise. And the city underneath the aliens may have more lies than lights, and a falling spaceship is the least of his worries. ** [This story will become free on July 5, 2023] ***🌟 WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST🌟 WATTPAD HQ PICK OF THE MONTH [April 2022]🌟 Featured on the Editor's Pick List April 2022🌟 Featured on @YA🌟 Featured on @Mystery🌟 Featured on @YARomance🌟 Featured on @ScienceFictionCopyright Vee Lozada Exclusive to W A T T P A D…

[Book 2 in the CODES series] || Roger, a cybernetic human with a second chance at life, must face the truths of every lie he's told or risk the possibility of losing it all...**A year after the "Digital War," Roger had his second chance at life. It was owed to him, a forgotten promise made eighty years in the past by the founding fathers of the Province's prospering nations. He and the other "Codes" left abandoned within the silent computers of every living city would be brought back to life...And have their crimes forgiven and wiped from existence. Yet, finding a home in newly created bodies isn't easy for the new cyborg citizens. The Province may have reached its desired Utopian climate, but society itself was far from reach. So many refused to forget the pain every "Code" inflicted on their lives...Roger hadn't forgotten -- he chose to forget. But as those secret plans made before his original death return to the surface, Roger learns -- just as the Province did -- burying the past doesn't help heal old wounds. **The gun fit so perfectly in my hands. It's metal, still warm from it's last fired bullet, brought back so many memories I'd learned to suppress. I didn't want to be the man standing in front of them, I wanted to grow and change. But let society remind me of my place..."Roger, don't!" Clara's tearful face came in front of me as she tried to take the gun from my hands. "Please, you don't have to do this!"I couldn't look at her. I didn't want to see the pain in her eyes. "That's the thing, Doll..." I tilted my head back and inhaled sharply. "I've got no other choice."The sound of a bullet firing never sounded so nice...Rankings:➡️ #23 in Scifi-Romance 7/7/19➡️ #1 in Holograms 5/1/19➡️ #181 in Science Fiction 10/3/20Awards:➡️ First Place in the 5th Ohana Awards -- Science Fiction| SEQUEL TO "ROGER"COMPLETE ROUGH DRAFT© Vee Lozada…
