tales beyond the words
The yielding of love soulmates where love is imagined ideally is most probably the most important aspect of the soulmate idea. Soulmates are people who fit the 'perfect,' perfect-fit definition; such are those that know us on an intuitive, intrinsic level even without words. Such idealization sometimes creates a false impression. The search for soulmate prophecies becomes frustrating, especially when the struggles of love become a matter of work, communication, or compromise. Soulmate relationships like any relationship must be based on constant effort, growth, and adaption. The perfect soul-mate we hypothesize could actually blind us from seeing the realities that are bound to accompany even the most harmonious relationships.

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.

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.
