The Summer Villain
By the time the sun goes down, the apartment has the temperature and moral ambiguity of a sauna. The living room window is propped open with a paperback Bible and a cracked sandal, but the air barely moves. The fly strips dangle like sad party streamers for a party that never ends and never gets fun.

Miles in Between
Theo used to think that love would find him by now. In his twenties, he’d watched his friends meet, date, and marry like clockwork.

Error 404: Empathy Not Found
For the longest time, I thought I had it all figured out. I mean, I knew things. I could psychoanalyze your trauma before you even told me your zodiac sign (Leo rising, daddy issues, noted). I had enough knowledge to write a TED Talk and enough detachment to ghost myself halfway through it.

The Lazarus Algorithm
When he unveiled The Lazarus Algorithm, it was meant to be a medical breakthrough—a way to preserve human consciousness indefinitely. Using a fusion of quantum computing and synthetic neurons, the system could scan, replicate, and upload a person’s mind into an artificial body. It wasn’t just immortality; it was continuity. You wouldn’t just live forever. You would be forever.

The anime and manga One Piece has captured the hearts of millions around the world with its epic adventure, memorable characters, and intricate storytelling.
