From Bangkok to Phuket!
I have been writing about dreams a lot lately. Eating late at night and watching horror movies is a lethal combination. It sets the stage for the worst of nightmares. This one was so vivid and real, I woke up with a new lease on life. Sometimes, dreams are where our answers lie.

Eternelle Glo®
I used to swear by supplement influencers. They were all over TikTok back in the day. All those hot young influencers swore by its skin-preserving, line-softening, muscle-building, butt-tightening benefits.

A single tear rolled down Lindsey’s cheek. “I…I think Brook and I are going to have to share a person,” she said plaintively.

Telomera
1. The roo’s been at the rosemary again. Stomping his muddy claws through the garden like he’s trying to dig up the whole damn thing. I catch him at dawn, fur ragged and dust-streaked, ears twitching like he’s tuned to some sound only he can hear.

The Bondage of Immortech
”Kerry, you just changed the world.” Paul Kerry blinks. Then he dares to smile. But only for a flash. “No. Listen everybody, this is…. Hell, this feels like a miracle. But we need to run more tests. Log the final readouts and set everything back to zero. Start again from scratch.”

Leila's Request
Leila wasn’t alone, her tiny frame lay comatose like the multitude of others in this sterile room. A dim light cloaked the white walls like a shroud covering a secret. Only the constant hum of machines sprouting tubes gave voice to the unmoving. She may have received a name twelve years ago, but she is only known by her designation F-B2105/10/14-G8.

Maria stared at the paper in front of her with her mouth partially open in shock. The story's headline read: "Cure of Death Found!"

Equilibrium. Content Warning.
Consciousness has been described differently by men, women and society at large across the ages of humanity. Theologians said it is a gift from the Gods. Some biologists call it an evolutionary anomaly, while mathematicians describe it as a chaotic mutation. A school of psychology may say however that Consciousness is life's or The Universe's realization of ego.

“Oh, come on, people, we can all make it.” Emma huffed anxiously as the cars before her moved at a snail’s pace through the green light.

Reverse-Engineered
Chuck was an AI engineer, a pioneer who worked alongside longevity scientists to create a human chip with two objectives: 1) reduce stress on the brain by analyzing daily life inputs, and 2) increase human lifespan by fifty percent. Chuck's initial chip worked one week, so its results could not be measured. Fifteen-hour workdays of testing hypotheses and fifteen-minute standup meetings with the team daily. Finally, they decided. Five men, ten women, and ten girls, aged twelve, were implanted with the chip. The adults volunteered and were implanted in their armpits. The women volunteers perspired profusely, rivulets soaking and spreading to the breast area. The male subjects emitted a fragrance similar to almonds, acting as an aphrodisiac. The girls' hormone cycles were disrupted. Chuck tweaked the implant gradually until the body no longer identified it as foreign, ending the havoc with sweat glands and lymph nodes. The women became frigidly cold and wore thermals under heavy sweaters. One female felt continuous twitching, cut the implant out, and died from blood loss.
