Anatomy of Fragility
WHAT IF YOUR NIGHTMARES AREN'T YOUR OWN? The world is divided. Below is the Rim, filthy slums where every day is a struggle for survival. Above is the Aureole, a sterile paradise where everyone has a price. Mirey is a mechanic from the Rim. She believes in nuts and schematics, but her mind is fracturing. At night, she falls into a chilling void, where thousands of voices whisper and scream. She thinks she's going insane. Noah is a detached Observer from the Aureole. His career is in ruins, and he'll do anything to reclaim his power. He finds a loophole: a minor system glitch at a checkpoint, linked to a girl from the Rim. He sees her only as a stepping stone. But when he descends into the slums, he realizes her "glitch" isn't a technical error. And her nightmares are the key to the secret upholding their entire ideal world. The truth she hears could destroy everything. The lie he tells is the only thing that can save them.
The Tribunal of Shadows
Elara's investigation into missing dissidents leads her to a terrifying discovery: a secret tribunal where the condemned face endless torment. Captured and forced to endure unimaginable cruelty, Elara must find the strength to survive, to expose the truth, and to dismantle the system that thrives on pain. But in this world of shadows, can she trust anyone?
The Feeling Underneath
Hidden behind the polished exterior of LGA Hospital, Artificial Humans are engineered and born underneath the building in secret. Male AHs are bred for combat and power, while the females are designed solely for their wombs. Surrogacy. Two-Sixty-Eight - later named Caesar - was meant to be another expendable weapon. But he is different. He develops a Fore-Light unseen in a decade: the power to manipulate blood. The last AH who possessed it nearly massacred the scientists who created him. To the Suited men, however, Caesar is not just dangerous - he is invaluable. A blood manipulator could mean limitless harvested organs, endless transplants, and the power to rewrite death itself for people waiting on donor lists. But then his caretaker, Joseph Collins, commits the unthinkable and teaches Caesar about humanity, about love, and about truths the organization forbids. All to preserve the human part living inside of him. Soon, a flicker of resistance grows within Caesar's heart as New Knowledge of "The Outside" surfaces. He gathers his Brotherhood and they begin to question, to hope, to dream of this forbidden place, that if uttered, could result in Capital Punishment. They bet everything on a dream never tasted: escape. But will they succeed or will the price of freedom be paid in blood? It only takes a spark to start a fire. And this spark is about to ignite hell.Terminé

The Memory Tangle
The Archive is a memory storage system created by ["MindSync Industries"] to help people curate their memories, allowing them to erase painful moments and preserve cherished ones. Over time, it has evolved into a tool of control, subtly altering and replacing memories to manipulate the population. As the Archive begins to fail, people's memories blend and distort, causing confusion and a loss of identity. It represents both technological advancement and a dystopian means of controlling society by rewriting personal histories. --- Copyright 2024 by Damien W. Byrnes All rights reserved.
