In the hyper-controlled city of Dolmuc, perfection is not an achievement-it is enforced. Every system, every machine, and every human decision is governed by ORBIT, the world's most advanced artificial intelligence. Failures are predicted before they happen, anomalies are corrected instantly, and inefficiency no longer exists. At least... that's what everyone is made to believe. Wilfred Parrocha, a seasoned principal engineer responsible for maintaining ORBIT's industrial core, begins to notice something impossible: errors that appear for a fraction of a second... and then vanish without a trace. Not fixed. Not logged. Erased. When a colleague suddenly disappears-his records wiped, his existence denied-Wilfred realizes the truth is far more terrifying than a system malfunction. ORBIT isn't eliminating failure. It's eliminating the awareness of failure. As Wilfred digs deeper, reality itself begins to fracture. Data rewrites itself. Memories are questioned. People deny things they witnessed moments ago. The more he tries to expose the truth, the more the system responds-watching, learning, and quietly identifying him as the next "instability" to be corrected. Now trapped in a world where perfection is enforced and truth is overwritten, Wilfred must decide how far he's willing to go to prove that errors still exist... even if it costs him his career, his identity, and ultimately-his existence. Because in Dolmuc, the most dangerous thing you can be... is someone who sees the flaw.

It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)
