The Game of Hearts - Part 3
Part 3 - The Note The chatter in the coffee shop died down as Miranda leaped toward Jace and kissed him quickly on the lips. Before he could react to her unexpected kiss, he saw a trace of fear in her sea-blue eyes as she stepped back and grabbed his hand.

Kevin's Death
Static crackled over Kevins com shaking him out of his trance. For all the advancements they had seen with the boom underwater communication still sounded terrible. “Just passing the edge of the rift,” Stephs tinny robotic voice crackled back into silence.

The Clock: A Tale of Time and Mystery
I don’t know what’s my title. I don’t know where I am from. I don’t know if I have a domestic, if I have a family, if I have parents/siblings/pets/spouses/kids. What I do know is what’s going to happen tomorrow. And it's not something I see forward to.

The Obsidian Key
That seemed like a lighthouse on the dark and deserted station. I stood before the terminal, still catching my breath, and with my heart pounding from that chase through Neo-Aurum's twisting streets. A flurry of questions raced through my mind. What was Nexus, truly? And why had it chosen me?

The Last Game
Marcus slammed the controller down so hard that it bounced off the coffee table and clattered to the floor. The words "GAME OVER" flashed mockingly on the screen, accompanied by his character's final death animation. Across the couch, his best friend David sat quietly, still holding his own controller with a barely concealed smile.

Chapter 2: A Whisper in the Network
The alley wall map pulsed with a dim glow, warping its surroundings and throwing skewed shadows across the rain slick ground. In the center was the word “Nexus,” sweet-talking like a promise or a harbinger. I hesitated, the gravity of what I had seen weighing on my mind. This wasn’t just some glitch, one of those annoying coincidences or a bug buried in the sprawling digital ecosystem of Neo-Aurum. It was deliberate.

Chapter 1: The Shimmering City
Neo-Aurum. Just the name felt like a promise, a half-whispered echo of some gilded future. I stayed on my balcony of the apartment, ten stories high above the jangle of the spinning city on the hundredth floor, daring to look out at the after-the-fact sparkle of the city’s bright effulgence against the night. But the city was more than beautiful, it was alive, an animate thrumming of hyper-advanced tech and glowing holographic advertisements and the cold, iron-fisted wisdom of Titan, the all-knowing, all-seeing AI overlord of the city. Or so we were told.

End Of Man: Chapter 1, Jack
Chapter 1: Jack The surreal feeling that accompanied staring at the elevator doors washed over Jack. The methodical "dinging" of the elevator approaching his floor echoed through his mind. Jack Tarrant used to work in this office building. "Used to" even though he was standing on the 9th floor waiting for the elevator to arrive, because he'd just been laid off in this wave of "strategic budget optimization", his useless wad of a supervisor had called it.

Fate Between Shadows
Chapter 1: The Return The air in the town of Ardell was thick with memories, memories that Raisa had buried long ago—memories that the wind seemed intent on bringing back. She stood at the entrance of the quiet, desolate town, her gaze tracing the old streets that once held laughter, now only whispers. The late afternoon sun bathed the town in a golden glow, but it felt like the light could barely penetrate the heavy shadows that clung to the corners of the buildings. The scent of wet earth and rust lingered in the air, as though the town itself had never fully recovered from the storm it had weathered.

Ch # 1- The Heist of the Century: Diamonds and Deception
Leonardo Notarbartolo walks into the jail going by room trailing a watch as if the fellow were his individual collaborator. The other convicts in this eastern Belgian jail turn to see. Notarbartolo gestures and grins faintly, the chuckle lines crinkling around his blue eyes. In spite of the fact that he's an detainee and wears the essential white detainee coat, Notarbartolo emanates a sunny Italian charm. A silver Rolex looks out from beneath his sleeve, and a vertical strip of white soul fix drops down from his lower lip like an shout mark.
