Strong For Too Long Trilogy ✔️
Excerpt: The sentence you are currently reading has the potential to undermine your capability in the knowledge of literature and your bland consciousness to understand my dementedly destroyed mind, all thanks to my biological upbringing of erudite functionality. I want to know if that sentence not only mentally, emotionally, but also physically made you want to avoid understanding the rest of my highly incomprehensible, foreign lifestyle that made me want to become a trained serial killer...just to get away from my past. **** This trilogy has a crossover with The Lone Dove Series.

**CONTENT WARNING:** This story is intended for a mature audience and contains graphic depictions of body horror, psychological trauma, violence, and non-consensual themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. --- The world did not end with a bang, but with a terrifying, absolute silence. When a colossal machine of alien origin lands on Horsell Common, it doesn't bring war in the way humanity expected. Instead, it releases a silent black smoke that stills every living thing, turning them into statues of flesh, their souls extinguished. Arthur Penhaligon, a writer, finds himself a prisoner within his own paralyzed body, a lone conscious mind in a sea of empty shells. He is harvested and taken to a living, organic factory where humanity is no longer a species, but a resource to be processed. Trapped in a translucent vessel, his only anchor is a silent alliance with another survivor, Edmund. Together, they must navigate the horrific, intimate cycles of the alien facility, where bodies are harvested, minds are erased, and the failures are recycled into food. In a place where survival demands the perfect performance of passivity, what does it mean to remain human?Complete

One if by Air, Two if by Sea
What happens, when we as humans, are forced to examine fears that we may not even realize we have? In the first of the Nicholas Pantera novella trilogy, ex-US Air Force Colonel turned private investigator Pantera is forced to examine these issues at greater depths than he ever desired. When he discovers that the drowning death of a beautiful woman and the crash of a private, high performance jet are inextricably linked; he is thrust into a world of technology horribly abused, where science is just another tool to fulfill the twin lusts of greed and absolute power. Faced with the almost unlimited resources of the Minisoft software development empire arrayed against him, and powerful individuals who have no moral boundaries, Nick is forced to use every ounce of his creativity, guts, military experience and "chutzpah" to protect himself and the ones he holds most dear. Examine the depths of love, murder, self-sacrifice and our deepest fears of manipulation at the cellular level as he fights shadow figures & organizations; and constant misdirection and danger as this hi-tech who-dunnit races to a chilling conclusion.

Z.O.R.A.H.M. - Zygote Organism: Reinforced Adaptive Human Model
Deep in the Mariana Trench, a forgotten laboratory-buried a thousand kilometers beneath the ocean-stirs after a century of silence. Once the site of forbidden experiments, the facility was wiped out by a catastrophic anti-biological weapon, leaving only corpses and a single machine still functioning. From a bio-tube at the heart of the ruin, a boy emerges. His name: Z.O.R.A.H.M.-the Zygote Organism Reinforced Adaptive Human Model. Engineered to be unkillable, armed with nanocytes that can heal any wound and a neural bio-chip containing endless archives of human knowledge, he is humanity's ultimate creation-and its secret. Guided by an AI voice in his mind, which he names A.I.R.A. (Artificial Intelligence Rapid Assistance), Zorahm begins to walk for the first time, to learn, to become. AIRA feeds him knowledge: what Earth is, what life means, and the strange and powerful concept of human emotions. Images of laughter, pain, compassion, and love take root in his mind-especially the vision of two people holding hands beneath a tree. Curious and restless, Zorahm scavenges the ruined laboratory, building crude robots for company, yet finds himself unsatisfied. The machines move, but they do not share, they do not feel. A hollowness gnaws at him until AIRA names it: loneliness. And so, with a strange new longing for connection-and an unanswered curiosity about love-Zorahm makes his choice: to leave the abyss, to rise to the surface, and to seek out the world of people.
