It Eats the Light. Content Warning.
It had been six months since the funeral. A moving truck was parked in front of a picturesque two-storey house with rounded trim on the eaves, a window in the attic, a large sunporch, and vines growing up the front that framed the living room window. The wrap-around porch had two doors; one in front to go inside, another to access the sunporch to the left. There was a decent sized yard, more of it out back where there was a door covered by a box eave with built in shelves for wet shoes and umbrellas. A rickety swing set had been left as a monument to tenants past. It sat on the front yard facing the road and the old warehouse, equally rickety if not more so, which was just across the road.

The Clock: A Tale of Time and Mystery
I don’t know what’s my title. I don’t know where I am from. I don’t know if I have a domestic, if I have a family, if I have parents/siblings/pets/spouses/kids. What I do know is what’s going to happen tomorrow. And it's not something I see forward to.

The Obsidian Key
That seemed like a lighthouse on the dark and deserted station. I stood before the terminal, still catching my breath, and with my heart pounding from that chase through Neo-Aurum's twisting streets. A flurry of questions raced through my mind. What was Nexus, truly? And why had it chosen me?

Across the couch, his best friend David sat quietly, still holding his own controller with a barely concealed smile.

Chapter 2: A Whisper in the Network
The alley wall map pulsed with a dim glow, warping its surroundings and throwing skewed shadows across the rain slick ground. In the center was the word “Nexus,” sweet-talking like a promise or a harbinger. I hesitated, the gravity of what I had seen weighing on my mind.
