Chapter 18
Back at the lair, I walk in on Mark and Dr. Mind in the thick of an animated conversation. From the outside looking in, they're the spitting image of two supervillains concocting a diabolical scheme—and in a way, they are, which sends a ripple of amusement through me. "What's br...

Chapter 19
Blinking rapidly, I try to clear the fog that's settled over my mind, but it clings stubbornly, muddying my thoughts. I'm standing in what looks like an underground warehouse, the dim light casting long shadows across rows of old crates. A black woman stands before me, her wide e...

Chapter 3
The attic was thick with dust and nostalgia, a testament to the many years my stepsister, Jenna, and I had spent growing up under the same roof. I, Alex, was the quintessential nerd – glasses perched on my nose, a shirt that was just a tad too tight over my not-so-impressive phys...

Chapter 4
With a moment's pause, Jenna placed the solar calculator inside the box, her fingers lingering on its surface. We waited, breath held, for the inevitable transformation. At first, there was only silence, but then, Jenna's appearance began to shift. Her hair grew and pulled itself...

Retreating to my old childhood bedroom, the day's bizarre events churned in my mind like the storm clouds outside. I was still grappling with the reality of the box's unsettling magic when the sound of a car cut through the tempest of my thoughts. I glanced out the window, watchi...

Chapter 6
"I didn't do anything special," I lied, feeling Jenna's gaze pierce through me. She let out a soft chuckle, the sound light and airy. "Keep your secrets then," she teased, her eyes twinkling with mischief. There was something in her tone, a playful lilt that seemed out of place,...

Chapter 7
Back in the safety of my own room, I placed the box under a pile of clothes in my drawer, a half-smile on my face as I contemplated my next moves. It was a reassuring thought that Jenna, under the key's influence, was unlikely to even attempt to search for it — she was now unwitt...

Chapter 8
Scanning my old childhood room, I noted that my parents had discarded most of my juvenile possessions over the years. However, tucked away in the corner of the closet, under a forgotten pile of board games, I found it—an action figure of April O'Neil from the Teenage Mutant Ninja...

Chapter 2
As Artificial Intelligence becomes the new carrier of both hopes and fears for humanity, new philosophical questions arise from technologies that did not evolve exactly the way science fiction imagined they would. Science fiction has heavily used artificial intelligence and robo...

Chapter 3
It certainly wasn't my first experience with an Emulated, and not even a dead one. Two of my colleagues were post mortem Emulateds and I hardly even paid attention to the fact anymore. I mean... sure, Jake was a cheap fuck and had purchased a low end humanoid body so he looked mo...

Chapter 4
The next morning, I opened my eyes to the annoying sound of my digital alarm, a blue-white light penetrating through my window and making my already pounding head throb even harder. I groaned, rubbing my face with my hands and blindly slamming the snooze button on the table. I a...

Chapter 5
(Author's note: I've added an image of Diana in the first chapter, if you wanna go check it out) Despite the show Diana put on for me all day long, I quickly grew bored of her usual antics. She had already turned my place into her personal lounge, chatting with her Emulated and...

Chapter 6
And another boring day at the office, spent staring at Diana's control tablet I was now carrying everywhere, hoping to get a better understanding on what else I could do to her virtual mind. She seemed to be doing fine on her own, based on what I could glimpse from her social med...

Chapter 9
"I... What the hell are you doing in my bedroom?" I demanded, trying to pull on my pants in a hurry. Jake/Lena looked like a deer caught in the headlights, their eyes wide and their face beet red as they tried to cover themselves once more. "Well," they said, grinning at me as I...
