collection of myths I enjoy

In the year 21XX, It was hard to tell the difference between real and synthetic when walking the streets of Xernea City. The walls were as augmented as the people who walked within them. Slowly over decades the corruption of the city has brought humanity's moralistic integrity to an all time low, accelerated by the ever advancing pushes of technology. The Xernea Police Department already had it's hands full, seeing how it's officers were all once convicts themselves. A female operative of the XPD, Motoko Vashti, happened to regain her life through one of these convict-to-justice contracts. But is quickly learning that in a false world, no one can be trusted.

Kamala Khan is a long way from Jersey City. Torn from her reality by a malfunctioning Kree artifact, Ms. Marvel finds herself stranded in the neon-drenched, acid-rain-soaked dystopia of Los Angeles, November 2019. This is a world of corporate gods, flying cars, and "replicants"-artificial humans engineered for slavery and cursed with a four-year lifespan. When Kamala crosses paths with the fugitive Roy Batty and his desperate band of exiles, she is forced to confront a question her superhero training never prepared her for: What does it mean to be human in a world that treats life as property? Amidst the shadows of the Tyrell Corporation and the lethal pursuit of the Blade Runner Rick Deckard, Kamala must decide if her light is enough to save those whom the world has already forgotten.

Gaff is at Deckard's apartment, knowing Deckard is facing-down Roy, the last of the escaped replicants. He knows Rachel is there, and he's going to kill her...

This is a concept/ treatment for a series I plan to create in the future. Think of it as an epilogue or an early draft. This will not be continued in writing. Note: It was originally written in present tense as it was intended to be a film treatment. However, I rewrote it being past tense to better fit the novel format. Enjoy and harshly critique!

My fav characters and why I like them

Two cities divided by sky and smoke. Two sisters divided by love and trauma. Pris finds herself drawn to Jinx's fractured brilliance. Roy bargains with Piltover to chase a ghost: EVE-0, the stolen AI that resurrected them. But the more humanity they discover in themselves, the more the world calls them monsters-Voight-Kampff hunters, Hextech zealots, and a girl who lost her childhood in a single explosion. When the rift home reopens, they must choose: Go back to a world that killed them... or stay in one that refuses to love them.

Virtual Reality is Out of Control...'Let me remember the dream again for a moment. Let me hold it in my mind. For with everything it has become - a shadowy reflection, a hollow advertisement - it is getting easier and easier to forget. And lately, many of its shadows have been haunting me.

I do not know the precise point that the dream of the Spiral began to diverge from what it once was...' ...Welcome to a free, short Virtual Web sci-fi story that explores ideas about a futuristic, immersive Gameworld influencing all levels of society...with emergent defects...

A group of banned Earthers attempt to improve their life beyond their home system, but come up against a powerful enemy.

[Highest Ranking #49 in Science Fiction] Jessica Leibniz tried being a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers, she can tell time without a clock. She still wears a watch, but it comes with incriminating A.I. software. It's part of her fashion sense-if you call a mix of 80's nostalgia, geekism, and jagged hair a fashion sense. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old girl who delivers pizza and tacos by day and hacks cybersecurity networks by night. All the while, she turns heads, probably because she performs her job on a gravity board, which is relatively unorthodox in a future where aliens rule the planet. The alien takeover could have ended more violently, but there's irony in how efficient and peaceful Earth has become a hundred years later. Corporations still reign supreme, but aliens lie at the top of the social ladder. Azareans they call them, overlords who've constructed a new kind of city for the modern world. The Eden: a modern megapolis. Accustomed to life in the modern city, Jessica has learned to embrace challenge when it comes her way. Without a cause, she confides in her three friends or smacks into boredom. And when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable corporate security algorithm, nothing makes sense. Faced with world-turning revelations, the life she's led seems trivial next to a hundred-year lie and tragedy.

In the neon-drenched city, Mikko has spent years searching for his sister -one more missing person to a cyber-drug that downloads your mind to a digital world. The cops don't care. No one does. But when a hacker named Tracer dies suddenly in his passenger seat-his last words a cryptic warning-Mikko finds himself tangled in something far bigger than a missing girl. Rogue AIs, underground data dens, people who aren't entirely human anymore. Every lead pulls Mikko deeper into the underbelly of the city, where memories are stolen, identities rewritten, and powerful forces will kill to keep their secrets buried. The closer he gets, the more the city turns against him -because when you hook up to Vitalink, some people don't return.

After replicant Officer K fails one too many baseline tests, he is saved from a deadly fate by his Lieutenant and sent to work for mysterious billionaire William Pruett. Pruett has a job for K, guarding his stubborn daughter Alice. It's a job K takes because he has no choice, and a job that will challenge the line of what it means to be human and to love.
