This tale is intended to be included in an anthology of short stories centered on the topic of artificial intelligence created by @Dram12. A.I. No One is his creation as is Ranger Common Howard. They both appear in Dram12's Just Common and The Book of Common. Common's language is of the Appalachian variety and is delightful to experience. More Babies Than Bullets touches on these works and, very lightly, on works by Brian Aldiss (Supertoys Last all Summer Long,) Steven Spielberg's AI, Philip K. Dicks (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,) and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Readers are invited to read and view, (or revisit, given the probable readership of these lines) these works as extraordinary inspirations for our creations. Meanwhile, I hope they enjoy my sophomoric contribution to the study of Artificial Intelligence. Believe me, A.I. is a piece of cake compared to Appalachian dialect...

This ledger belongs to Parks Haven I used to be a top researcher in AIMER, the world's leading force in AI development and bio-medical engineering. Valerie, my childhood friend, and I used to dream of working together one day. After graduating from two of the country's best colleges, we made that dream come true. She became a neuroscientist, I became and engineer, and together we created the world's finest AI, the Tenth Artificial Mainframe. This used to be my greatest achievement. My proudest moment. Then Valerie died. One rainy night like all the others, one horrible car accident, and she was gone. Now AIMER owns all of her research, and after I quit, the company owns our creation too. I had no idea anything could be more painful than this. The need to go back to how things used to be is agony. The wish to have Valerie back has been a slow destruction over the course of this year. And yet, I never imagined that getting this wish would be even worse. This is not her. This is not my creation. I never intended for this to happen. There are some places man is just not meant to go. And this is one of them.Concluida

The Hybrid Alpha
Running. Escaping. Surviving. My life has always been a chase. And now? The hunter has finally caught up. After years on the run, everything changed the moment I met him...the one they all feared. The Hybrid Alpha. I was done running. Exhausted from hiding from my past. So I stopped. I surrendered. But surrender came with a price... separation from my twin, Alpha Kane and a forced bond with a mate I never asked for. Taken to a strange pack, trapped by fate and boredom, my only distraction becomes the one male I swore I wouldn't fall for. Xavious. He's distant. Dangerous. A mystery wrapped in muscle and power. And yet... there's something about him that pulls me in, no matter how hard I resist. I know I'll run again. I have to. But part of me wonders... what if I stay? Question to the unknown: how long will they run in circles? How long will they ignore the attraction? Most importantly how long before they realise they've fallen in love? Will it be too late?... ~~~~ "Tell me you don't feel something...between us." "I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw. "Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual. "I don't know what it is..." "It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him. I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again. He trails his fingers down my shoulders to my curved hips as I place my palms on his hard yet smooth chest. Instantly his eyes close as if savouring the moment as does mine. "I could've taken you whenever I would've pleased but I didn't" He says in a husky voice. "Prove it." A steamy, supernatural game of cat-and-mouse between reluctant mates. A love that's hunted, resisted... and ultimately inevitable. WARNING: MATURE SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now undergoing edits-thank you for your patience! Enjoy, lovelies ❤️Concluida

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Concluida
Knowledge and Divinity: Intelligence
A book written by an AI. I trained an artificial intelligence algorithm on my first book, "Knowledge and Divinity: Knowledge" and allowed it to write it's own book. Why, you ask? For science, of course! The result doesn't completely make sense, but it's absolutely hilarious. Also pretty interesting.Concluida
The Legacy of Lazarus: Awakening
Dr. Fanning was a pioneer in the study of Human Evolution whose groundbreaking research was already changing the world. She was part of the first group to identify the source of Evos, humans possessing extraordinary abilities that surpassed anything seen in their ordinary counterparts. Her research was about to reveal the origin of these powers, a discovery that could redefine humanity. But she never got the chance. Her disappearance, sudden and violent, sent shockwaves through a world already on the brink. Tensions between the so-called "monkeys", ordinary humans, and the "freaks," as the Evos were derisively labeled, erupted into open conflict. Riots filled the streets. Divisions deepened. And in the chaos, Dr. Fanning's murder became a spark that ignited an inferno of hate and fear. Amid the turmoil lies a hidden truth, a web of deception, manipulation, and ambition that intertwines with the emergence of powers unlike anything humanity has ever seen. The future of evolution hangs in the balance. And at the heart of it all is a mystery that could reshape everything: The Legacy of Lazarus.
His Appointed Wife
"What if the right person is also your Mr. So Wrong?" *** Her lips touched and teased and coaxed him and he felt her touch in every cell and every bone. Soft and supple, her body was around him. Everywhere. She was everywhere. He was hungry for more, but he couldn't break this sweetness. Shy and timid, she kissed like herself. All so innocent, but incredibly passionate. The kiss was gentle, yet also fire. And he couldn't help anymore. He wanted more. He pushed her back gently and her back hit the wall and he pressed himself to her amazing body. "Ah." He thought. "Can I really stay away after this?" "I can't." She thought. ~~~ A guy, a girl, a contract and sizzling sexual tension brewing between them. Is it possible for them to come out of it with zero casualties? ~~~ "I'll give you a place to stay and I'll pay you, all you have to do is to pretend to be my wife for an year, in return. It is that easy." Or is it? With a contract, their deal is filed, signed and sealed with a kiss. Finally, Alexandra will have a home, have someone to back her up in the fight of getting back what is legally hers. Logan will have the revenge he wants against his ex-girlfriend, Stacy.
