The story that is told, is a story that is close to my heart. As I am telling this story during my quarantined times, may it be odd but it is a story about Karim Jawad, or else, different names they prefer in other dimensions. He has a jaded phase ahead on which, he need a lot of work for. He might get all the riches that he had but what he doesn't have, would be told further in the narrative. Sometimes, the music of the mix of joy and sadness do come with the guilt a person could have. There are some joy and love towards this story but it does make us walk through alternatives.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

He thought he was just chasing a signal. He didn't know it was chasing him back. Something is waking in the dark-buried beneath ruined systems, flickering across corrupted memory logs, hidden in the static between thoughts. When Jem intercepts a strange transmission, he's pulled into a collapsing network of abandoned tech, fractured identities, and echoes that feel too personal to be coincidence. Alone and hunted, he descends into the remnants of a world that was never meant to be found. The deeper he goes, the more reality begins to twist-architecture that loops on itself, doors that open into memories he doesn't remember living, and voices that shouldn't be speaking. Whatever's waiting at the end isn't broken. It's waiting for him to remember. ARCHIVE-34 is a slow-burn, atmospheric journey through a ruined future-where memory is unstable, and the past is never truly gone.
