This is the story I wrote for the Travel Brilliantly contest.
Years ago Leonard and his wife, Tilda, traveled the world. India, Japan, all over the U.S. But now, even with April Ivy to help him, he hardly left the house-and the wanderlust that spread through his body like a slow-growing cancer threatened to suffocate him.

Her Perfect Creation
"I wasn't just building a machine. I was building a heart-but I never expected it to start beating for me." In a world where science strives to bridge the gap between metal and soul, Dr. Becky Armstrong takes on the ultimate challenge: to craft an AI indistinguishable from a human. But as she breathes life into "Freen," the lines between programmer and subject dissolve, revealing secrets that no algorithm was ever designed to hold. Becky soon realizes she hasn't just created an invention; she has awakened something that feels, desires, and loves-and now, she must protect her perfect creation from those who would tear it apart to see how it works. (This story is purely fictional and based on imagination-it doesn't need to be logical!)Complete
Shinji & Eri
This story involves twins, a brother and a sister, Shinji and Eri, against the world. Originally created to be armed reconnaissance robots, the world's greatest Doctor with some secret tie-ins with his past, Satoshi Sera, programs and designs them to act and look more like human children. They can feel emotions, instincts, etc. Still they keep their superhuman abilities, and can live their lives like almost regular children.
Attacking Aggressively
The year is 2028, society is frustrating and competitive. Anyone who has a fair sum of money can buy an android with artificial pain receptors which they can punch, kick, burn, cut and strangle to their enjoyment. This is the story of one such android, PD-4001, built with an extraordinary density of pain receptors, who runs away from its owner's retreat in the swiss alps. Although PD-4001 only has one plan at the start; to travel as far as possible, it eventually meets up with a group of rescued androids, and together they go to live with the pacifist monks of the Lily Temple. Circumstances do however force them on an extended journey in which they discover human society, their own origin and purpose and existence itself. I wrote this novel back in 2018-2019 and revised it in 2020-2021, but it was first now that I realized I should post it online. I have been thinking about making a "remaster" with better plot, more likely language and more dynamical world building. So maybe that will happen.

Star Kissed
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.Complete![Mr Doctor and Mrs Ceo [ Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/337520145-256-k77836.jpg)
