Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete

Cyberblade City: Resurrection Protocol
In the ashes of a global zombie apocalypse, one man rose from the wreckage-not as a savior, but as something... else. Former military officer Xavier Williams was mortally wounded in the final days of the old world. Revived through experimental cybernetic technology, he became the first of his kind: a fusion of man and machine with a mind forged in war and a body built for a new era. Reborn as an immortal cyborg, Xavier rebuilt the ruins of Miami into Cyberblade City-a neon-lit metropolis of steel, surveillance, and synthetic life. But as civilization claws its way back under his iron rule, Xavier begins to confront the one enemy he never trained to face: his own fading humanity. Haunted by memories of who he once was and tempted by the cold logic of the machine he's become, Xavier must navigate conspiracies, rising rebellion, and the lingering undead. Because something in the shadows is stirring-something that threatens not just the city he built, but the fragile soul he's trying to reclaim.
