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. The shadows of paths never taken in the woods. 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... NOTE: This is a fairly challenging, 'background' story with an emphasis on ideas. It will relate to some more accessible stories to follow... including, hopefully, a novel. If you're interested in writing about 'The Spiral' then search 'Fountellion' for the Medium publication. Fans of TRON, 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by George Orwell, and 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley, may appreciate similar themes. Please comment with your impressions or feedback on the themes and content of the story... Best wishes, and 'Progression'!

A boy at age 9, Spencer, loves creating and producing own inventions. He has no friends and no one to share his amazing work, until one day where he meets one boy from same school, named David. Both of them invest and learn a new invention, which involves teleporting into a different location. What they're not aware of is the severe consequences upon them.

What measure is a non-human? When artificial intelligence becomes so advanced that they appear to act completely human, can they still be treated as mindless servants? One programmer cashing in profits on the AI entertainment boom tries desperately to convince himself so, and Amber, his creation, deals with the consequences. (Inspired by: Neuro-sama, 'The AI Overlord is a Vtuber', & the 'Do Androids Dream?' Tvtropes page.)

In a restrictive and dilapidated society, a lonely man's routine life is plagued by visions of a haunting structure of black stone. You will witness his life, maybe even play a symphony for him. But you are helpless. He is in pain, and you can't help him. But you can certainly watch.

Last night he'd had the dream again. He was struggling in slow-motion down a city street, tumbling over barriers, while wearing something heavy - riot gear, including a shock vest - but it was all vague and emotional. He wore head protection - again - a kind of visor or helmet, of course. He'd been pushing, forcing his way against something. It felt like being in a riot. But the street had been... empty. Nothing and no-one. Just himself, wrestling forwards - alone. And now this morning, this lethargy. And all the usual thoughts brimming and burning inside him. His doubts about his life, his other life, and the numerous dreams he still had for the future of both. "If only you'd seen things... with my eyes..." He uttered this phrase aloud just for playback; to hear the sound of his own raspy voice; test its quality. It came out as an ironic parody of the introductory line to the game world where he'd spent nearly all of yesterday. Dan Harvester lived alone in his low-key flat with his cat on the edge of the city... Continue the 'real' story of how Dan Harvester finds one of the hidden keys into the mysterious, forthcoming game-world 'Fountellion'...

In the future, our world is populated by nearly undetectable robots. Designed to be caretakers these simulacrum hide in plain site. One Toggleman, hired to hunt and and shut down androids who have gone off grid, struggles with the ethical questions raised by his son.

UPDATED 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK (written for school so I have deadlines to meet) This is an ongoing work in its first draft, minor grammatical errors may appear, but should never take away from the experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Most people, and I'd only noticed this then, stared at Brooke. Most people of the future thought it weird to befriend an A.I.. I was fine with it and embraced it." Katsumi Morita, a 16-year-old girl from Japan, is mistakenly abducted one day, taken to the future. The only issue is, law won't let her leave now that she's here. In this contemporary sci-fi mystery, the Morita family experiences the future before there very eyes, finding out that the future might not be the haven people make it out to be. Reality is always worse than the dream, no matter how nice it seems. From cloning to holograms, 2209 takes the cake as the best horror Katsumi can imagine. Dig deep and you'll find the dirt on anybody. All rights reserved ©Judy Finch 2020
