A Cursor Story
*****One of the Winners of Icey Penguin Awards under Science Fiction category ****** In the era of quantum computing where most of mankind's work is handled by a massive central computer the GRIID, the otherwise ordinary cursors grow into ultra-advanced Artificial Intelligence programs capable of showing human-like intelligence with a primary aim of securing a never-ending supply of computing power. The cursors form a community, utilize their human sympathizers to fulfill their aims but their plans hit a roadblock when their staunch enemy Anti-Cursor enters the fray. The hunt for resources offered by GRIID leaves the humans deprived of their greatest invention and blackmailed to mortgage their dignity before an alien threat.

The traveler
Everybody dreams of time travel. The possibilities would be endless: from going to the future to see what things are going to be like, over going to the past to see what things were like, all the way to telling yourself not to eat the last cookie in the cookie jar, because you will crave for it later. But what if you couldn't choose where you go? Or rather, when you go? And what would be the consequences for people around you, who are trying to get their hands on a precious artefact? Isaac, Keymard and Pierce will know all about it...even though they can only dream of never knowing.Complete
