"The Fix" is a short story I wrote a while ago for a science fiction competition. It didn't win, but I had a lot of fun writing it, so I decided to post it here! :)

The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete
Anonymity: WH_Zero
The US has collapsed in the wake of a new civil war. Corporations rush to fill the gaps and provide services to the citizens in exchange for control of areas of the country. Zero is an Auditor working for a corporation that claims to have an infallible identification system; even in a world where more than just a name can be stolen. When a job goes sideways, Zero finds himself the target of a manhunt. His only choice is to turn to a friend; an unstable hacker with an impossible job for him. **If you would like to listen to the book instead of read it, it is being admirably narrated by Stories After Midnight on YouTube. You can find the first chapter here: https://youtu.be/M_dwy-StzcwComplete
Bottleneck
Bottleneck is a short story I wrote a while ago to experiment with my storytelling skills. It is a set of 16 stand-alone-ish stories that overlap somehow. It is a strange tale about human nature and explores what it is to be "human". I hope you guys enjoy the story, and thank you for reading :DComplete![THEREFORE I AM [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/364257747-256-k145285.jpg)
THEREFORE I AM [Completed]
If they are made in our image, surely they will suffer the same trials? In 2078, sentient androids help rebuild a damaged world. Eli, a unique android, struggles to find his place in a world that both fears and covets him as he becomes entangled in a dangerous game of politics and rebellion. Ten years prior, Dr. Randeep Singh races against time to prevent an impending disaster while balancing the demands of a ruthless dictator. As the two timelines collide, Eli and Dr. Randeep Singh are forced to confront their vulnerabilities and limitations in the face of overwhelming challenges. Early Reviews: "Your characterisation of your main cast was expertly done, but the Board wanted to highlight Eli, whose near childlike wonder at his own existence and other life rather paradoxically creates a sense of hope and beauty in the face of such instability." "I was very pleased with the intriguing plot, which was well-conceived and developed, alongside a most fascinating cast of characters. I believe your story is very well-structured and well-grounded allowing the story to build progressively and weave together the underlying messages included in your work, including concepts of control and existence, as well as uncontrolled scientific exploration that are sure to resonate with many contemporary readers" This is not 'man vs machine' - 'Therefore I Am' delves into ethics of class systems as sentient androids are introduced into a brutal world scorched by a world war and ran by a sadistic regime. Narrated over two timelines, this novel is a real page-turner and a hot take on robotic AI. Although this story discusses AI themes; no AI was used in the creation or in the writing process. I wanted this book available to read for free but if you wish to support me you can buy this book in paperback on Amazon in most territories. Search: Mickey Luke Mitchell - Therefore I Am at a very reasonable price.Complete
Build A Scientific And Technological Civilization ( Book 1 )
In a universe where every person awakens a Planet as the foundation of their power, the strength of one's civilization determines their might. From martial worlds where warriors reign, to mystic realms teeming with magic, to ethereal domains of immortal cultivators, every awakened Planet becomes a reflection of its creator's path. But Alexander Sebastian is different. Reborn with memories from a modern, Earth-like world, he forges something never seen before: a Technological Civilization. While others summon Qi, Mana, or Spiritual Power, Sebastian builds factories, launches satellites, and commands fleets of starships. With logic as his weapon and science as his foundation, Sebastian begins to shake the very foundations of this Supernatural cosmos. When a Star Destroyer punches through planets and dimensional weapons turn worlds into nothing more than paper, even the proudest civilizations must bow before the cold, unrelenting force of progress. Witness a tale where science defies fantasy, and technology becomes the ultimate path to dominance. _____ This is a translation. The Original Title is: 人人一颗星球：开局打造科技文明 Sorry, my English as my second language is average, so forgive me if there is a mistake. The later chapter will have better quality.

Death Drive
In the near future, most work has been relegated to machines and people are content to spend their time immersed in virtual reality, something they cannot get enough of. Thomas Walker, an ex-racecar driver who blames the hidden algorithms that run society for losing everything that is important to him, finds himself at the center of a string of bizarre vehicular attacks and becomes assured that someone is out to get him. Meanwhile, Lucas Bennett, an anxiety-ridden software engineer, is contracted by the leading artificial intelligence corporation in the US to decipher the inner workings of their flagship AI that have become incomprehensible even to themselves, a job that he is very invested in since he considers technology the solution to his personal as well as mankind's timeless problems. Unknown to the public at large, the CEO of the company is bent on unleashing the full capabilities of that AI to handle every single aspect of society and individual lives. When all hell breaks loose, the two men and those close to them team up to survive and fight back against the horde of vehicular attackers and the Intelligence behind them while also clashing together over their views: is artificial intelligence a way to humanity's salvation or doom? Betrayal abounds, nothing is as it seems and the traffic is a real killer. The story is complete and I will be uploading 1 chapter around every Friday.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.Complete
