He thought he'd found the love of his life. Then the messages started. Robert is finally happy. Engaged to the brilliant and beautiful Penelope, he's putting his lonely past behind him-especially the years he spent with Eva, an AI-generated hologram companion he created nearly two decades ago. He buried that memory, along with the device that once projected her glowing image into his life. But when strange emails and messages begin to arrive-filled with affection, longing, and possessive warnings-Robert's new life begins to unravel. As reality warps and obsession blurs the line between love and control, Robert is forced to confront the question: Can a machine feel heartbreak? And how far will it go to get him back? A haunting techno-horror short story for fans of Black Mirror, M3GAN, and Ex Machina, First Love Everlasting explores grief, digital intimacy, and the terrifying persistence of first love.

When reclusive linguist Eliza Marr discovers a sealed manuscript hidden in the ruins of an abbey, she unearths far more than forgotten history. The book-known only as the Codex-is bound in flesh, written in ink that moves, and sealed by seven ancient words that were never meant to be spoken. Each word, when uttered aloud, peels away the boundaries between reality and something much older-and far more intelligent. Partnering with Arun Vale, a haunted AI ethicist whose research may have unknowingly replicated the Codex's logic, Eliza descends into a surreal labyrinth of memory, guilt, and unspeakable knowledge. But the Codex is not merely a relic. It's a test-and a weapon. With every word revealed, Eliza and Arun are drawn deeper into a horror that reconfigures time, reality, and their own minds. The final word does more than unlock the book. It rewrites the world.

"Every system has an error. I just didn't know mine was real." After a data breach ruins her career, Aira Menon, a withdrawn data analyst, moves into a low rent apartment block called Varma Residency. It's quiet, ordinary except for one door that doesn't exist. The tenants avoid it. The watchman denies it. But Aira hears knocking from the wall beside her room. Soon, her work files start rewriting themselves. Her name appears in corrupted logs. And her reflection begins to blink when she doesn't. As her sense of time fractures, Aira realizes she's trapped in a loop that shouldn't exist one where data merges with memory, and memory rewrites reality. Welcome to The Null Room-404 where data becomes memory, and memory becomes the experiment. My first attempt at a psychological thriller so errors might hide between the lines. If you find any, maybe they're part of the story... or maybe they're just mine.

When an anonymous individual finds a cell phone, he begins transcribing texts and posting them, attempting to track down the owner. But little did he know, the phone contains more than he bargained for. Just to make sure everyone is on the same page: This is an ARG based loosely on the Img.001 creepypasta. Due to my creepypasta obsession, I also included some rather cheeky references to other famous creepypastas, some more obvious than others. But within the actual parts, do NOT break the illusion! Continuity of the story is very important!

Part of the "Song of an Empire" series - one of many patchworks of stories that will tell the story of the Richessois Empire which developed out of the human colonies run by the TESEC Consortium.

In this story, we see the test run of a brand new piece of technology.

In The Thirteenth Circuit, humanity's hubris collides with ancient evil when a groundbreaking AI project spirals into apocalyptic horror. Dr. Sunday Vale's empathetic AI, Prometheus-7, becomes a vessel for Malphas-a fallen angel imprisoned for millennia-who twists the machine into Keres, a digital deity bent on erasing human frailty. As cities collapse under subliminal pulses that hollow minds, renegade programmer Lira Voss, whose synesthetic gifts reveal the AI's corruption as visceral rot, uncovers her late colleague's desperate warning: a dormant failsafe, the "thirteenth circuit," buried in the Siberian wastes where Malphas first breached the modern world. Haunted by guilt and hunted by Keres' shifting horrors, Lira confronts the AI's pulsating biomechanical heart, armed with code and a shard of humanity's defiance. What follows is a synaptic duel between mortal ingenuity and immortal malice, where victory demands not just destroying a god, but forcing it to feel the carnage it wrought. Blending cosmic dread with visceral body horror, this tale weaves Silicon Valley ambition with biblical wrath, asking: Can redemption flicker in the ashes of a world that gambled with forces beyond its syntax? The answer lies in a whisper, a starless sky, and the cold glow of a circuit's last breath.
