World War 3: Fear, Power, and the Dangerous Language of Our Time
World War 3: Fear, Power, and the Dangerous Language of Our Time The phrase “World War 3” has become one of the most searched and shared terms in recent years. It appears in headlines, political speeches, social media posts, and everyday conversations. Some people treat it as an inevitable future, while others dismiss it as fear-mongering. The truth, however, lies in a more complex and serious space—one that demands caution, context, and responsibility.

Celestial Nexus
The weld cooled in a thin silver line, unbroken. Vayle held the iron in place a moment longer than necessary, just to be sure, then powered it down. The stabilizer bar no longer sagged under its own weight. It felt solid—stubborn, even. She nodded once, more to herself than in satisfaction.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 8: The PT Field of Agony and Triumph
After a quick trip to the PX to obtain a PT outfit for Kev and given the others a chance for the others to get dressed appropriately, the squad all appeared at the PT field. Everyone but Lieutenant Sawyer and Rodriguez were in the basic PT outfit: gray T-shirt, gray shorts, and sneakers. Samuels looked intimidating in his muscle shirt while Lieutenant Prowse looked ready to go. Douglas and Walker were definitely ready for the experience while Kev was amused.

Inversion - 17. AI-Generated.
Chapter 17 Laurel studied his hands in the morning light, turning them palm up, then back again. They looked the same as they had when he first went into the forest, more than twenty-five years ago. There were no mirrors in the camp, but he had glimpsed his reflection in a puddle. It too looked the same as it had then.

Inversion - 18. AI-Generated.
Book V: The Unbound Chapter 18 Laurel stood at the edge of the gathering, watching his followers arrange themselves in the usual semicircle for the evening teaching. Two hundred faces turned toward him expectantly, some weathered by decades of following him through wilderness and settlement, others bright with the enthusiasm of recent converts. The sight filled him with a weariness so profound that his knees buckled.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 7: Kev Undergoes Some Changes
The receptionist watched Kev go down the hall. Well, Sharness in the form of the receptionist. She had met with the receptionist the night before, drugged her, and assumed her form. She could have fed, but she figured now was not the time to tip off the tattooed warrior that anyone who cared knew about his entry unto the scene and nothing tips off a tattooed warrior off like a dead body. She would be fine and she would overlay the memories later so that she didn't even know she had lost any time.

Who's the real Monster?
~ Smith's POV Holy fucking shit! It's Inmate Zero. How did she get in here? Last I saw on the monitors she was still in her room meditating. I've read her file at least twice. Nothing in it said anything about whatever the fuck is going on right now. It feels like there's a rope taking hold of my entire body like a snake constricting. I can't move an inch.

Brass Ring Chapter 6: Welcome to the Party
Oliver and Cass walked into Osa Electronics. The store was what you would expect from a successful retail electronics store, with televisions, laptops, and consoles as far as the eye could see. The pair walked up to the customer service station.

Who's the real Monster?
~ Mat's POV That was odd. Haven't ever seen Ed act or look that way since I've known him. He and I had gotten here around the same time. It was nice to know that I wasn't the only one in the Yellow Area. Everyone in the Green area treats you like lepers once they know you don't belong in their group.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 6: Day of the Doctor
The next day, Lieutenant Sawyer started her plans for Douglas and Samuels. She took advantage of them eating together with Walker to talk to them. Fortunately, they had taken a trip to the PX and so Douglas was not in his usual blacks but instead a pair of jeans and a PT shirt. Well, Walker was sort of with them; he was deep in a book with something Latin as the title.
