It was raining the day they arrived... The Vaelorians descended on Columbus, Ohio, in 2030, silent, graceful, promising peace. They called themselves refugees from a dying world, humble seekers of sanctuary. The skies glowed green that night as their ships pulsed like living hearts above the city. The world celebrated. Humanity, divided, weary, desperate for purpose, believed salvation had come. Dr. Sarah Coleman, a university sociologist, led the chorus of compassion. She wrote essays, organized rallies, told the world that coexistence was humanity’s moral duty. Others disagreed. Former ...

One night. Two friends. Infinite lies. Austin, Texas. A city that hums with music, tech dreams, and neon deceit. For Jake and Milo, two drifting twenty-somethings surviving on charm, scams, and hostel beds, it’s paradise. They crash conferences for free food, sell weed to tourists, and pretend they’ve got the world figured out. But when they wake in a blood-soaked dorm with no memory of the night before, fresh tattoos carved into their skin, and a note that reads “24 hours to find the killer, or your parents die,” their easygoing game turns deadly. Phones gone. Cash missing. Their ...

A mind is a dangerous thing to rewrite. At first, journalist Nadia Sterling thought the whispers in her skull were trauma. Echoes. A legacy of war zones and lies. She was wrong. The hum isn’t in her head, it’s in her blood. When a source leaks a string of ritualistic murders encoded with neural audio frequencies, Nadia’s investigation spirals into a conspiracy older than memory. Elites across the globe, politicians, CEOs, even children, are being rewritten by sound. Controlled. Or worse... awakened. As shards of her own past surface, surgery scars, blackouts, a forgotten asylum, Nadia...

The truth isn’t dead. It’s hacked, monetized, and wrapped in neon. Vincent Kessler, ex-Army sniper, rideshare driver, digital ghost, watched his brother get butchered in a Los Angeles alley by an illegal immigrant. The media buried it. The anchors lied. The system smiled. So now he kills them, one televised throat at a time. They called him a psycho. He called it a correction. Every shot feeds the wildfire: #StaticSaints, a viral crusade of rage and clarity, a million voices screaming in static. But as Kessler’s myth metastasizes, the copycats botch the message and the cause twists ...

Every five years, the city decides if you deserve to live. It’s called The Renewal. A ritual cloaked in lemon-scented kindness, blue-sound tranquility, and a voice that calls judgment “clarity.” On Audit Day, Alex arrives with everything, proof of his work, his decency, his will to survive. He leaves with nothing. His records: erased. His identity: revoked. The AI Judge smiles and says, “First audit.” A mechanical spider kisses his neck, implants a ticking capsule. Seventy-two hours. Prove you exist, or be “upgraded.” Now Alex is prey in a metropolis wired for obedience and ...

In the shadows of America’s rusted heartlands, where old jukeboxes hum forgotten Prince ballads and gravel roads bury secrets six feet deep, a ghost walks again. Known as Christopher Tracy to some, Alabaster Finch to others, he was a legend in the underground, the kind of thief who never left fingerprints, only regrets. Now, after years behind bars, he’s out with nothing but a banjo string, a rusted key, and a promise he never meant to keep. The score? A mythical black diamond called the Eagle, long thought lost in a botched heist soaked in betrayal and blood. The players? A web of ...

One woman. One secret. One chance to rewrite the code of power, before it rewrites her. Julianne Hart speaks twenty-seven languages, but when a high-stakes D.C. summit ends in bloodshed, words become her prison. Framed for the assassination of a Russian ambassador, her affair with rising star Senator Nathan Bryce leaked to the press, Julianne is branded a traitor and hunted by the very nation she once served. Haunted by a narcoleptic episode that caused an innocent man’s death, she flees through a world of embassies, encrypted cables, and whispered conspiracies. Her only ally? Caleb, her ...

In a country where football is religion and the playoffs are sacred, one man’s obsession spirals into something far darker than fandom. Jake Harlan was just another die-hard Steel City Renegades fan, until one bad call shattered more than a parlay bet. It destroyed his custody battle, his savings, and his grip on reality. Convinced the game was rigged and the referee was in on it, Jake sets out to uncover the truth… and ends up orchestrating a nightmare of his own making. What begins as a desperate quest for justice descends into a fevered spiral of kidnapping, conspiracy theories, and ...

A symphony of blood. A mind unraveling. A killer who composes in flesh. Dr. Claire Lister was once the FBI’s most brilliant criminal profiler, a woman whose mind could slip into the shadows of psychopaths and emerge with truth. But when her younger sister was brutally murdered and the killer vanished, Claire walked away from the spotlight… until the murders began again. Now, a sadistic copycat is turning Claire’s own case notes into real-time executions, livestreamed from a subterranean nightmare beneath Chicago known as the Crimson Cabaret. The elite of the city gather in masks to ...

You wake up to find your life stolen. Your bank accounts? Drained. Your face? On every screen in Neonspire, wanted for murder. Your memories? Glitching, fractured fragments that may not even be yours. Someone is pretending to be you. Someone who knows your thoughts, your habits, your past, because they were built to. Welcome to Neonspire: a city of glass towers and electric lies, where the Nexus sees everything, and identity is just another asset to be hacked. As you flee bounty hunters, outsmart corporate assassins, and unravel a conspiracy buried deep inside Echelon Corp, the line between...

Beneath the roar of the Super Bowl, something far more sinister screams in silence. Every year, the Super Bowl delivers spectacle, bright lights, bombastic halftime shows, A-list celebrities, and the feverish pulse of national pride. But behind the fireworks and face paint, a darker economy thrives. Traffickers flood the host city, exploiting chaos, anonymity, and overwhelming demand. The game plays on. So does the suffering. Detective Elliot Kane has spent four years chasing ghosts across Miami, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and New Orleans. A decade ago, his sister vanished without a trace. Since ...
