Joe has been running for months, trying to escape the nightmares of his past.  On a sleepless summer morning, he becomes entangled in the lives of Molly, a young woman who can no longer see a future, and Eli, an old man who wishes he could erase his past.  A violent confrontation in those early hours with Jeb, Molly's cruel ex-boyfriend, explodes in events that will change all four lives.
    
    Even in this small, rural town, Joe can't escape the twisted nightmares that haunt him. When they erupt in violence, they threaten his newfound relationship with Molly, his life, and the lives of those who have befriended him.  In the end, Eli, Molly, and Joe wrestle with their own sleepless dreams and the realization that escaping the night haunts of the past requires running toward the dim, uncertain light on the horizon, promising a new day.

The Turing Test - [Open Novella Contest 2019 Shortlist]

18 parts Complete

Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!
