Psychological
Honor. Top Story - August 2025.
All he had in his life was honor. In the corner of his small bedchamber, a smoldering ancestral votive with notes of incense, jasmine, and wildflower fought the stench of the world beyond. It was a futile effort. Moonlight reflected off his sword reverently held between two wooden pedestals. It was his father’s blade, cooled with honor by blood of the Emperor’s enemies.

The Cartographer of Dreams
He woke up before the alarm, the pale blue of the room already suggesting water. Adrian lay still and watched the ceiling ripple. He had learned not to blink too soon. If he blinked, the shoreline would break. If he reached for his phone, the stairs would vanish. The maps required a quiet mind and an honest failure to wake.

The Last Human Coder
The Last Human Coder By the year 2040, human coding was history. Artificial intelligence had surpassed every human benchmark in software development. The AIs didn’t just write applications they designed architectures, debugged themselves, and optimized global systems in real time. Entire companies were run without a single human developer.

The Assessment. Content Warning.
The day that Twyla turned twenty-six, she had a silent reckoning with herself. She had purposely spent the day alone, as she assessed her life from its beginning onward. She scanned the years with brutal honesty, making mental piles of what had been her fate (none of which she could be faulted for,) her choices (both good or bad,) her triumphs (mostly lucky breaks,) her downfalls...too many to count. At this point, she determined, it was damn near impossible to look at her reflection from any mirror that dared to cross her path without feeling slightly disgusted.

Memory in the Metronome
The therapist's room was just as you'd expect it. An oak desk scattered with pens, paper, and paperweights. Windows abandoned by the daylight. Amber lamps and weak bulbs conjured shadows upon strange paintings that invoked nothing. An hourglass failed to create ambience against the noise of sirens and horns.

The Power of AI: How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Future of Humanity
The Power of AI: How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Future of Humanity --- A New Era of Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the stuff of science fiction—it’s here, woven into the fabric of our daily lives. At its core, AI is the simulation of human intelligence by machines. It can learn, adapt, and even make decisions, sometimes faster and more accurately than people. What was once imagined in futuristic novels is now a reality: machines that recognize faces, translate languages, diagnose diseases, and even create art. The rise of AI represents a turning point in human history, comparable to the invention of electricity or the internet.
