Faces of the Future. Runner-Up in Future Fragments Challenge.
The silver screens flashed at midnight as they sat in the dimmed room. “Happy New Year!” The girls of Iota Delta Iota Omicron Tau that didn’t go back home raised their glasses of sparkling cider as they celebrated the arrival of 2050. Banti77, 4Donna4, and Kar3n stayed in a room at their sacred sorority house on the campus of The University of Mid Southwest Coastal Florida. As part of this well-bonded sisterhood, they shared holidays and many conversations about the past and the future.

Google's Next Cut of A.I.: A Mind That Thinks Out Loud
Introduction AI has transformed from simple rule-based approaches to complex neural networks today capable of generating realistic images, composing symphonies, and more recently assisting medical doctors in making diagnoses.

Tomorrow's Horizon
The year was 2050, and the world hummed with a peculiar kind of energy. Cities gleamed with crystalline spires, their translucent surfaces catching the light like fractured rainbows, while the faint hum of airborne pods traced unseen melodies through the sky. The air carried a curious blend of metallic tang and floral sweetness, as if nature and technology had brokered an uneasy truce. Below, green terraces clung to the edges of towers, their vibrant foliage standing in defiant contrast to the sterile precision of the architecture. Roads no longer existed in the traditional sense; instead, pathways of light transported pods silently and swiftly through the air. Yet beneath this veneer of progress lay a tapestry of stories, woven with threads of ambition, sacrifice, and loss—not all of them as luminous as the neon lights that pulsed through the night. There were whispers of lives forgotten in the rush toward utopia, of histories buried beneath the weight of collective amnesia. Each glowing spire cast shadows, and within those shadows lay truths too complex and inconvenient to fit the polished narrative of human triumph.
