A quiet, determined baker on a mythic quest to perfect his signature dessert, armed of lollipop guns, and cupcake grenades with a personal touch of sugar, he navigates Olympus's divine rules, chaotic friendships, and baking mishaps with equal amounts of enthusiasm and obliviousness.

Grief clouds his thoughts, and the weight of his lost Natchez heritage presses heavy on his heart.

Between polaroids, mail, and a pink sky lies a boy whose past burns brighter than the sun itself. Will memory bring back his purpose - or will it be the soft words of a girl who barely knows his life?

"Honestly it was all for you", Psyche said, as she was staring out into the horizon, sitting on rock, over looking the ocean​. She began to reminisce about all her accomplishments in her life and what brought her here. And who pushed her. It was the thought of Eros that gave her success. He was the voice in her head telling her what to do and always motivating her. She wanted him to return, but for real. A story about Psyche on her quest to find Eros and reunite with him in the white castles in the sky where they belong.

In a future where AI and robotics make most human labor unnecessary, the world's elite quietly decide the masses are expendable. Their solution: Nexaphine, a fentanyl-based compound disguised as a miracle cure for the opioid epidemic mixed with a virus spreading amongst deer populations. But Nexaphine doesn't kill quietly. It transforms its users-stripping away empathy, igniting rage, and leaving behind something less than human, yet terrifyingly alive. As cities burn and governments collapse, a small band of survivors uncovers the truth: humanity wasn't destroyed by accident-it was culled on purpose. Now, they must navigate a world where the line between human and monster blurs, and survival may mean becoming something unrecognizable. The Last Prescription is a chilling, near-future horror novella about power, disposability, and what it truly means to be human in the age of machines. © 2025 MM.

Invisible fatigue begins to accumulate. Misunderstandings emerge. Emotional boundaries are crossed.
