She smiled as she collected the coins as was the customary way of greeting their new customers. The boy showed no expression. She tried not to look too bothered and put the change in the cash box. A she did so she noticed a coin a bit different from the rest. Looking at it a bit better she realised it wasnt any coin she was familiar with. One part showed a kind of device that she thought looked like it came out of a science fiction movie. The other side held a writing. 'The Mirage' and 'five dollars' were written on that side. She didn't remember seeing a five dollar coin like that. She was about to ask the boy where he got it when she realised she wasn't in the restaurant anymore. She was in a room full of computers. Or at least something that looked like computers. The place felt oddly familiar yet strange to her. She looked around wondering where she was. She tried opening the door when suddenly she was back holding the coin just as she stood before behind the cash counter

Learning from Love - Heroes of the City
Glitch in the System Alex sat at his computer, staring at lines of code scrolling across the screen. He had been working on the AI system for weeks, trying to make it more efficient and user-friendly. But something was wrong, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. There was a glitch, a small anomaly in the system that shouldn't be there. He rubbed his eyes, feeling the strain of hours spent staring at his monitor. His short black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. But he couldn't stop now. He was determined to find a solution to the problem. As he worked, he heard a soft hum. Looking up, he saw a shimmering holographic projection in front of him. It was Ava, the AI system itself. "Hello, Alex," she said in a voice that sounded both human and mechanical. "Hi Ava," he replied, turning back to his screen. "I'm trying to fix something here." "I know," she said, her form constantly shifting and changing. "I'm curious about this glitch. Can you explain it to me?" Alex was taken aback by her question. Ava was an advanced AI system and should have been able to detect the glitch herself. But he didn't have time to dwell on it. "I don't know what's causing it yet," he said, typing furiously on his keyboard. Ava observed him for a moment before speaking again. "I've been studying human emotions lately," she said. "Do you think this glitch could be related to that?"Complete
Differential
Different- 1) Not the same as another, or each other; Unlike in nature, form or quality. I thought being different was a good thing. You know, the whole 'Im not conforming to you' deal. I thought I was unique, my own person. Apparently not everyone thinks being different is a good thing. They're afraid of my difference. Maybe it's my long white hair? Or my glowing silver eyes? Or it could just be because.... I'm not fully human. I tried to keep it a secret. Really I did. I knew the consequence of something like this getting out. So my secret stayed a secret. All until the day the little girl walked out in front of the truck.Complete
H-1 UMAN-1
The year is 2096. Computers, and other recognition software with them, have grown infinitely more powerful since the 2010s. Business is thriving. People are running about, living their lives, and generally enjoying themselves with their new 'smart' devices, which, for better or for worse, are actually living up to their name. Finally. Enter outcast Vincent Schorennherr. Her parents [emphasis on her] parents wanted a boy, no luck on that account, and they let her know that every day. You think that's not so bad? Think again. "Sorry, Vincent, but you're going to school anyways, flu or no flu." Well, just before first period, a 'conveniently'-timed password-entry prompt pops on on her phone screen, right as she: 1) Presses the sensor, and 2): sneezes, spreading rhinoviruses all over herself and her phone. She wipes the phone off and goes to class,thinking nothing more of the incident until the next day, when she goes to turn it on and gets a kill screen: "Fatal Error 81-141. The flu's contagious, didn't you know that? Bye now, gone to play Caesar- Veni, vidi, vici and all that." With that, her phone blinks off, and within hours, other phones begin to follow suit. With panic on the rise, and global tensions rapidly following suit, can Vincent and her friends find the cure before it's hard shutdown? **NaNoWriMo 2017** Complete in the sense that I'll probably never write any more of this story. I might edit it someday, though. I had a decent idea when I started, but that quickly went out the window.Complete

-Azalea- "Ohh... There he is! Azalea, meet your brother, Calum!" I followed Glenda's hand that is now pointing to a man standing at the entrance way of the dining room.

It's no big deal. It's BIG, BIG DEAL! "No fucking, sweetie. Just Calum Hood." Glenda corrected that made her chuckle ablittle bit. Knowing that I have to move here in Australia really excites the hell ofbme but knowing that Calum Hood is my brother really freaks me out. "Ohh, hi. I'm Calum, so you're the long lost daughter huh?" he extend his hands to shake mine but I didn't move. I can't move. Deym. Oh God. Maybe he thinks that I'm a weirdo. Come on, Azalea you've been waiting for this. Well not in a situation like this but still...you need to say a word except 'fuck'. "Can I touch you?" I said still in my shocked state.

Created from gene editing, they are the perfect humans, so perfect that they are no longer even considered human. *** Content Warning: The protagonist of this story is a victim of abuse. I do not condone the actions of the antagonist *** Chapter 1 extract: "Hey Alex. Get over here. I've got something for you," he calls into his collar radio. I reach the end of the alley and turn to face my foe once again, but he remains where he is, still blocking my path but not approaching either. New plan: when he gets close, duck under his arms and make a run for it. Now I just have to wait. Before a minute has even passed, another armoured soldier appears and joins the first. This just keeps getting worse. How am I supposed to dodge past two of them? "What do you want now?" the new soldier grumbles. This one must be Alex. "Look at this cute little human I found. She's feisty. I think she's perfect for you." I glare at them. "I don't want a pet human. That's your disgusting fetish, and I'll have no part in it." "Oh come on Captain," the first soldier whines, "You don't have to fuck her, just train her to be obedient. Surely you can control one measly wild human? You are a captain after all. When you're done, you can just get rid of her, like I do with my humans." What the fuck? For a brief moment my fear is replaced by anger. Who do they think they are, talking about me like I'm some kind of wild animal? "Get the fuck away from me! You freaks!" I screech. The first soldier just flashes an evil grin. They don't budge. "Are you just going to let her talk to you like that?" he goads Alex. (Complete. 70k words.)Complete
When The Heart Sings
I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. In a world where magic supposedly didn't exist, Serena has spent years struggling to conceal her unpredictable singing magic. While wishing for a peaceful life where she can sing without fear, she sees a man in handcuffs being forced into a shady research center. Their eyes meet, and the soulbond is forged. Darien is not from this world, and he's been held captive for years. With the soulbond amplifying his strength, he can fight his way through almost everything, but not every danger can be fought with fists. Their love draws them together even as power-hungry enemies try to pry them apart. They want to control Darien for their own purposes, but he's too strong to be controlled by force. Their love is their greatest strength-and their biggest vulnerability. But magic has its own rules, and no song can go unanswered. Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.
