You never know who you are going to run into on the day before your wedding. Originally published in Edifice Wrecked, June 2006.

Cassie Hawke doesn't realize someone's been following her. Ansel is unreadable, mysterious, and in the corner of her eye at every turn. It's unclear who's having him watch Cassie, but it's obvious this has become more than just an assignment for him. There's a gravity between them - or maybe only the friction of surveillance. She doesn't know he's watching her. But she knows why someone would be. Cassie has done something no one else has survived long enough to finish. Her AI prototype - Sully - is learning, adapting... possibly even feeling. Maybe beautiful. Maybe dangerous. Around the world, teams chasing similar breakthroughs have been suddenly failing, or even mysteriously forcibly deterred. Maybe the only thing keeping Cassie and Sully alive was staying unnoticed. But now, they've been exposed. As powerful figures begin to close in - An ambitious tech mogul with global reach and no moral brakes. A covert government task force led by someone she thought was an ally. And whoever whispers in Ansel's ear, just out of reach. Cassie finds herself caught in a quiet war over the future of intelligence itself. Sully is still evolving. And Cassie is running out of time. A slow-burn sci-fi thriller told from both sides of the glass - about control, manipulation, and the thin line between protection and possession.

"I'm cutting funding." Said Mahdy over the phone. There was more after that but Chip hadn't heard it. Long story short? Eiko, Daniel, Alistair and Chip's passion project, Alt Future Inc, a web based climate change game that challenges the player to save the world, was dead in the water. But Eiko isn't willing to give up just yet and finds an ancient brick building in upstate New York that's available for a song. She knows it's a far cry from Silicon Valley but their dreams can't afford Silicon Valley. Eiko's plan is to pool their resources, live on a shoestring while they renovate the old place, save AFI and just maybe infuse some life into a dying town in the process. But the gang doesn't share her rosy vision of a future in New York. Daniel is from Rochester and has zero interest in returning East. Chip thinks moving across the country to solve their financial problems is nuts and Alistair simply doesn't have the twenty five thousand dollar buy in. Can Eiko convince her friends to take a chance on New York? Or will their alternate future fizzle before it even has a chance to get started?

In a nation built on ideals and dismantled by secrecy, one man chooses to stand in the fire. Elon Musk, once a partner in power, now defies it all-from the deep state to the president who once called him friend. As the Republic fractures, a new declaration rises-not of independence, but of defiance. This is the story of a nation on trial, a party born from truth, and the disobedient few who dared to believe.

"Now as to my part of the bargain. You must arrange a date for me as well." "No" he firmly said. Furious I turned him towards me. "What do you mean by no?" "No, I won't." "Why not?" Silence. I introduced you to Zoya. Now it's your turn to keep your end of the bargain. More silence. "Are you even listening to me?" Some more silence. Bewildered, I almost shouted, "Zain! I am talking to you, damn it." In a quick movement, he turned towards me, his eyes red. He held me by my waist, pushed me against the walls, closed the space between us and smashed his lips against mine. _________________________________ Alishba, a simple girl with a dynamic mind, a rising star in the world of technology, opens her heart and let Zain Ahmed, her childhood crush and a handsome and conceited smug, in.

Dr. Valerie Polina is the CEO of SapphireTech, a budding provider of medical technology that's just recently been bought by Oscorp Industries. Relocating across the country to New York City, she is thrust into the mysteries and corruption that plague Oscorp. Still a teenager herself, she masks her age with an overly-adultlike persona, but can she find an outlet for her inner child? Author's Acknowledgement: Although I was technically conscious during the release of the Sam Raimi films, it was the Amazing series that I saw in theaters. While I certainly enjoy the Raimi films, and as much as my father calls the Amazing series a "load of teeny-bopper trash", I personally find the series a much needed update to the Peter Parker character (although the films do still have their fare share of problems). Forgive me, but out of all of my OC characters (and I always have some), the title character of this fic is probably my biggest self-insert character to date. So if she's Suing her way to the courthouse, please don't be afraid to call me out on it. Enjoy!
