Mara stepped off the bus, her boots crunching on gravel as the scent of pine and damp earth filled her lungs. The town hadn’t changed—same rusted sign above the diner, same flickering streetlamp casting jagged shadows. But the air felt…
The Silent Algorithm
The air in Blackthorn Research’s sublevel 7 was thin, cold, and smelled of ozone. Dr. Elara Voss adjusted her gloves, the synthetic fibers creaking as she stepped into the chamber. The glass wall ahead pulsed with a faint blue light,…
The Hollow Veil
The lab hummed like a trapped insect, its fluorescent lights flickering just enough to make the air feel thick. Mara’s fingers trembled as she adjusted the neural sync headset, the plastic cold against her temples. The stain on her lab…
