A blip on the screen. A flash unseen, unheard. Heads and limbs scattered a half a world away. Hausmann leaned back in his chair. Stimson slapped his console. “Got ‘em, Hoss! Boffed ‘em bad.”

THE PARALLEL TRANSMISSION
The Parallel Transmission When the message arrived, reality began to unravel. by Alex Mario The night was silent—too silent for a world stitched together by signals, motors, and the soft hiss of the cosmos. Wind swept over the Carpathian ridge and died against concrete, and inside the hilltop observatory the only sound was the hum of old equipment refusing to retire.

Your Disorder Is Ready
The universe is a bowling alley. It sets up the pins and we knock ‘em down. That’s pretty much all you need to understand entropy. You’ll need a little more to understand humanity. We are high maintenance. We basically feast on order and crap disorder.

Behind the Sheet
We moved into the house in late fall, the kind of season where daylight fades before you feel ready. The nice elderly landlord walked us room to room with a natural smile, pointing out upgrades and fresh paint and how the furnace had been recently serviced. He kept talking, but every time we reached the hallway, he angled his body away from the last opening at the far end. He never looked at it directly. He never mentioned it.

The Andromeda Pact
Prologue: The Dying Stars The Andromeda Galaxy, once teeming with the glory of ancient civilizations and the shimmer of billions of stars, had fallen into turmoil. The once prosperous interstellar empire, known as the Council of Light, was now a shadow of its former self. Factions fought over dwindling resources, and alien species --- once allies—now tore each other apart in a desperate struggle for control of the stars. But in the darkness of this galactic war, a single hope remained: The Andromeda Pact. A fragile agreement forged in the blood of countless battles, held together only by the fear of mutual annihilation. It was not just the fate of one galaxy that hung in the balance, but the future of all galaxies connected by the Stellar Network—a web of energy conduits that linked every known star system.

The Thought Archive
🖋️ Story Description In the rain-drenched city of Torrento, memories aren’t lost -- they’re stored. Fifteen years after erasing a tragedy from his past, Elias Crane receives a mysterious notice from The Thought Archive -- a shadowy institution that keeps forgotten memories sealed in glass. Inside one vial lies everything he wanted to forget: the love he lost, the pain he buried, and the truth that never stopped waiting for him. When the Archive forces him to remember, Elias must confront what it means to live without the past -- and whether love is something we can ever truly erase. The Thought Archive is a haunting, introspective story about grief, memory, and the quiet courage it takes to remember who we are.
