Ray Hatfield was marked. Maybe not like how an organized crime syndicate would mark him, but he was marked, his every keystroke monitored, every click observed. All to serve an ultimate end. All to serve the greater good. But Ray was unaware of this. What was foremost on Ray's mind at this point was his splitting headache and the uncertainty of how he was going to pay his rent at the end of this week.
Augmented is a near future paranormal techie thriller. It's a work in progress. Like way rough. Enjoy!

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

Aquaventure
In the vibrant heart of Cuba, a young man named Manuel has long dreamt of working at the new Chinese luxury resort that overlooks the turquoise Caribbean waters. When he's offered the position of a lifeguard, it feels as if the universe is finally aligning in his favour. But this isn't just any lifeguard position. As part of his training, he's handed a pair of cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) glasses designed to enhance his capabilities and ensure the safety of the resort's guests. With their sleek design and intuitive interface, the glasses offer Manuel real-time data, from detecting swimmers in distress to predicting potential hazards in the water. His job becomes a blend of tradition and technology, and soon, he's known as the most efficient lifeguard on duty. However, tranquillity at the resort is short-lived. One fateful evening, as the sun dips below the horizon, the serene atmosphere is shattered by an unforeseen threat: terrorists storm the premises, holding guests hostage and demanding ransoms. The resort descends into chaos. Amidst the panic, Manuel's glasses activate an unexpected mode. They begin to provide tactical insights: safe paths to evacuate guests, real-time locations of the attackers, and potential objects to use for defence. What once was a tool for beach safety transforms into an invaluable asset for survival. Guided by the AR glasses and driven by his unwavering sense of duty, Rafael navigates the treacherous situation. "Aquaventure" is a tale of unexpected heroism and a testament to the convergence of humanity and technology during the gravest of circumstances.
