The Cosmic Project
In a distant dimension, two advanced alien creators, Maera and Vithar, embark on a cosmic experiment to design a universe within their laboratory-a universe brimming with infinite possibilities, governed by intricate mathematical patterns, probabilities, and cycles. Their project unfolds on a microcosmic scale, yet encompasses vast galaxies, countless worlds, and evolving life forms. Among their creations is a peculiar blue planet, Earth, where conditions align for the emergence of a species destined to intrigue and perplex: humans. Through detached yet curious eyes, the creators observe humanity's rise from simple organisms to complex beings capable of unparalleled innovation, creativity, and destruction. Gifted with emotions, awareness, and intellect, humans are both the architects of wonder and their own undoing. They exploit their gifts, tearing apart the very Earth that sustains them and dividing themselves in pursuit of dominance, driven by greed and ego. As humanity's trajectory unfolds-filled with beauty, chaos, and self-inflicted suffering-Earth itself transforms in response. The creators watch as humanity fades, allowing the planet to heal and begin anew. For Maera and Vithar, this is not a failure but an inevitable cycle of destruction and renewal, a testament to the systems they designed. Their focus shifts to new planets, leaving behind a world that will continue its story without them. This thought-provoking tale blends science fiction, philosophy, and ecological awareness, exploring the interconnectedness of all things, the resilience of nature, and the consequences of humanity's choices. "The Cosmic Project" invites readers to question their place in the universe and consider the delicate balance between creation and destruction, awareness and ignorance, life and the vast cycles of existence.Complete
Eagles and Snakes
In a society engineered to perfection, children are not born from mothers but in test tubes. They grow up in loveless nurseries, competing relentlessly to rise and catch the eye of the nine families who uphold the world's order. Each Father selects its future disciples, and depending on the lineage assigned, bodies are genetically modified to embody their spirit animal, amplifying their abilities until they become flawless cogs in the social machine. But when a structure is built on segregation and fear, balance is destined to collapse. From one of these cold nurseries, an unexpected rebellion emerges-a movement that uncovers an unsettling truth: no species deserves to rule over the others. Ambition, like a virus, infects every animal. And sooner or later, the virus must be eradicated.
Cyberpunk Fantasy
Cyberpunk Fantasy Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity Cover art by: https://www.patrickennisart.com/ A story of 3 "sisters", from 3 different walks of life, growing together, with technology and compassion; through a shared crisis created by the worlds combined patriarchal religions, who's new leader is out for full spectrum domination. This near future unlocks the potentials of genetics and artificial intelligence in this science fantasy of a young girl and her father who discover how to create legendary creatures; which could cripple the automotive industry if they become the new standard of personal and public transportation. Meanwhile, her affluent mother continues an affair with a bishop who aspires to be pope. Ancient Hope // Tribulation : Singularity is meant to be a story that follows a pattern of exponential growth, much like the real technological singularity itself. You should also know that exponential curves begin so slowly, it almost looks like a straight line. So, please don't be surprised when the 2nd and 3rd parts, tribulation & singularity, are both, years later, and filled with many more characters. Special thanks to Ken Poirier, who has been encouraging me to be on this site for over a year now, or just finish my book in general for years longer. Upon seeing how Ken uses this site, and how he serialized Love and Hamburgers, I too intend to release my story in a serialized version of my completed story, here on Wattpad. This seems like a fun place to work on the last of my finishing touches. Further, the story needed to be altered slightly as well, as it's a story of the near future, where when it was written, had no thoughts of Covid-19. I'm not looking to alter the fundamental nature of the reality I created for this story, but the only thing worse than writing about it, is to ignore it's existence and the ripples this stone has cast.Complete
