Conspiracy is a character-driven speculative thriller set in a world where legacy, loyalty, and technology entwine across generations. At its heart are two children-Jazzmine and Adam-bonded not just by family, but by the burden of secrets they never chose. Years ago, a man named Blue Richards created Project Genesis: a classified operation that embedded artificial intelligence into a neural chip, designed to protect an inherited fortune linked to a mysterious oil field. But Blue's motives weren't pure protection-he was hiding something darker. The chip, meant to secure legacy, became a vault of dangerous code-AI that could one day awaken with a mind of its own. Now, that chip lives inside young Adam. Its presence is dormant, mostly. But subtle shifts-changes in behavior, silences that linger too long-hint at something stirring beneath his skin. Jazz, equally young but sharper than most adults around her, has discovered the truth. And she alone senses the quiet storm rising. While adults scramble to undo past mistakes, these two kids are left navigating guilt, legacy, and the weight of a growing intelligence that may not be entirely human. It's a story of awakening-not just for the AI, but for the people tangled in its design. This tale is entirely a work of fiction, born from imagination. It does not depict real events, places, or individuals. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Categorized under the science fiction genre, it delves into speculative themes and thrilling possibilities.

A chilling collection of tales long forgotten - but never truly dead. Buried beneath time, memory, and silence are stories that refuse to stay gone. In this unnerving anthology by Abby Arce, whispers from the past claw their way back to the surface-through haunted houses, cursed objects, forgotten letters, and memories we swore never happened. Each story unearths a different kind of fear: the dread of being watched, the grief that twists into madness, and the unsettling thought that maybe we've lived these horrors before. Set against the backdrop of the Philippines' hidden corners and shadowed streets, this collection explores psychological and supernatural terror with chilling intimacy. Ghosts don't always wear white. Sometimes, they hide in the people we love... or in the mirror staring back. Are you ready to turn the page on what should have stayed buried?
