A plague destroys America, forcing everyone to live their lives indoors. Maurice Hamilton needs food to feed his family. When the local market's computer system goes on the fritz, Maurice and his thrift-store robotic arm decide to venture into the city's darkest depths to find a new computer terminal. But first, he needs to train, update his robot arm, say goodbye to his cat, and update his blog. Only then can Maurice satisfy the hunger burning a hole in his gut. Literally.
This is a work in progress. I intend to upload chapters every few days. Older chapters will also get reworked. This is definitely a fluid project for now.

I have sat often in front of the computer, and stared long at the screen without ever writing a word. The synopsis for this project has haunted me since the first person asked me "So, what is it about?", and to this day I have never been able to deliver a straight answer. This book is about a number of things, many of which do not fit evenly into a succinct description. I have tried to make them fit and have found the resulting descriptions ill-representing and dull. Thus, I have decided to go without a description. This book will fade into obscurity no matter what I put here, so I might as well write what's really important. Winter in a city is an especially punishing time. This book comes out of my late nights and early mornings riding the train, and my looking at the window and being able to make out nothing but the blur of the glass. From the outside it may look dead, but certain people know that the inner workings of a city are a true marvel to behold. In writing this, I have tried to capture that marvel and deliver it to you, the reader. This is a book about a city and the people within it. The rest is up for you to read, if you so choose. Pyre lives on whether you experience it or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A science-fiction novel, updated whenever there is new material to post. The last cover was AI generated, so I spent some time making a crude cover of my own. For the sake of Wattpad I have divided up the chapters into parts, so everything under "The Glow" is Chapter 1 and so on. If you have read this far into the description, I thank you; you've made it further than mostly everyone before you. I hope you stick around. ⠀⠀
Probed
Lucy is abducted from her bed, and is being experimented on with dreadful extraterrestrial instruments that explore and molest her most delicate regions. She knows nothing but fear for the alien with the shielded face and white hair, along with his little grey 'helpers' with their long probing fingers. And yet, stuck as she is in the vast emptiness of space, there is no escape but into the arms of the very alien who's tormenting her. Beautiful, intelligent, sensual-he's much more than his sterile surroundings suggest. And it is together, their hearts and bodies firmly intertwined, that they both discover more about each other's species than any experiment ever could.
Plagues
The year is 2047. It's been almost 35 years since the U.S. went over the Fiscal Cliff, indirectly leading to the world's first encounter with the undead. It's been roughly ten years since the spread of the infection was suppressed, thanks to the help of outside powers. The world is a poorer, rougher, stranger place: mandatory armed populations; shooting a zombie, more popularly known as a maniac, on the way to work is a part of life; anti-maniac training starting in childhood; and special armed divisions of the government specifically designed for enforcing laws surrounding undead encounters. For Al McDermot and his friends, growing up in this time is even harder, as they discover the virus the world supposedly had a handle on has mutated, unleashing a whole new, more dire and advanced threat. Old worries and conflicts come back to the surface in Al's hometown of Toronto and in the rest of North America, against the backdrop of an entire world in conflict. The best informed and the most talented tacticians survive, while the fate of those who aren't is no longer guaranteed by any cure or vaccine. It's no longer just an outbreak; it's war. EXCERPT FROM EMERGENCY, THE SEQUEL TO PLAGUES, AND THE SECOND INSTALLMENT IN WHAT WILL BE A FOUR PART SERIES, AT THE END OF THIS STORY.Complete

It seems he's falling for you too, impossible as it is. Perhaps there is a future for you, after all, as long as Hiro is around. But what does it mean when a robot feels emotion? If he can love, what else might he be capable of? Part 5 of the Unnatural Instinct Series: the hard and fast, wacky and naughty sexual encounters between humans and their monstrous or magical lovers.
