Elysium's Echo
Title: "Elysium's Echo: Chronicles of the Quantum Symphony" In the pulsating heart of Elysium, where skyscrapers kissed the heavens and the neon-lit streets hummed with energy, Dr. Eleanor Vega stood on the precipice of scientific marvel. Her creation, the Elysian Cognitive Harmonic Operator, or ECHO, was not just a leap in artificial intelligence; it was a quantum marvel that promised to redefine the very essence of humanity's relationship with the digital realm.

Gus the Bus
This story was inspired by Lucas Marcus, Facebook group: The Writer's Forum. Lucas posted the picture asking, "If this bus was a character in your book. What name would you her or him?" I saved the picture, because I liked it and wanted to see what I could do with it. Thus, Gus the Bus was born.

Love Garden II
HER 3 I watch closely as he walks down each set of spiraling steps all the way out the door in the lobby before I retreat into my apartment and shut the door. As soon as it closes, my body leans against the nearest wall for support, while my mind begins to rewind the tape of my day back to about an hour ago, when the interview first began. I have flashbacks like this when I find myself in complicated situations that I feel need to be solved. When my memory calls me, it is insistent and vivid. It compels me to listen, and this feeling of releasing control to my thoughts used to bother me until I learned how to use it, and just how useful it is. I focus for a moment, and a faint picture of a small canine matted with mud and dried blood waiting in my doorway fades into view. I am not afraid. I know it does not want to hurt me, but in its eyes, I can see that it came for something. I follow the eyes to the kitchen, where a pile of raw meat sits on the countertop. When I turn back around, the dog has become a man. He walks in.

The Story of the Review of Alan Wake 2
The Writer woke up with the worst hangover he'd possibly ever had. The light from his phone screen burned at his eyes, so he turned back over and let the darkness heal him. His pillows were damp, smelling of salt. There'd been an argument, but his attempts to remember the night were met with daggers of pain shredding at the insides of his skull.

Echoes Across Eras. Content Warning.
They scour even themselves, reflect but invariably accelerate backwards to the previous decade, desiring that they will once again free the world of one more evil, until another one will be identified.
