The Echo Chamber
My name’s Abel, and for the most part, I've always found solace in the company of machines rather than people. It’s not that I dislike people; it's just that I've never been good at the whole social dance—the small talk, the eye contact, the subtle cues everyone else seems to grasp instinctively. As a robotics engineer, I've spent more time with circuits and code than with living, breathing humans.

Hank's Monster. Content Warning.
Warning: mentions of domestic abuse and the death of a loved one. Jagged pieces of color lay on the kitchen floor -- a plate from a dinner set gifted by his parents on our wedding day and drops of my blood. I can feel Hank clutching me close to him like a child with their raggedy toy, ready to lash out at any one who tries to take it from them. He keeps repeating a tearful mantra in my ears, sounding desperate for me to hear them.

Human Souls
“Wake up, Max! We gotta go now. The last ship leaves in 30 minutes!” I immediately awoke when I heard a loud shout from Peter, a friend in the military. We just returned to Earth to secure the last bit of Ultraprazivela, an ingredient found deep beneath the ten-kilometer mark of the ocean. This ingredient is one of the most critical chemicals that could save a billion people on Mars. Its size may be only ten centimeters, but when combined with Vextravinut, another Martian ingredient, it can produce one million units of energy. This energy, in turn, can be used to create 1,000 billion units of Oxy, allowing one billion people to breathe normally on Mars within the next ten years.
