The Resort
Dear Rachael,
My doctors told me after so many years of CRISPR injections and exocortex enhancements. I've reached the Entropic Stage of my life. My body can no longer keep up with the younger generation's upgrades.
Tomorrow I'm heading out to The Resort, where all of us retirees are going these days. You'll be happy to hear that the National Insurance Policy will cover 100% of my transfer.
I took a tour last week. It's a great place. There's so much for me to do while I'm there. They're many other retirees around to play plugged-in games, and I'll receive plenty of exercises. They've assured me that I'll also receive regular doses of nutrients and medication as needed.
I've opted-in for a studio apartment for a very affordable additional cost. They've advised me it'll be an easy payment plan that I can take care of on-site.
All I must do is hook-up for a few hours a day, sleep, so my enhancements will serve as part of a global participation network to make the extra rental payment.
It'll be great to feel useful again.
I did have to sign an NDA and agree to not look for, discuss, or disclose what my mind is doing, as I could be participating in private or competitive research and analysis.
So, in other words, don't pry, don't inquire, and don't even think about asking. Honestly, with this new lifestyle upgrade, I'll be okay with that.
I believe you'll agree with my decision once you come to visit me.
On your next day off, stop on by, and I'll show you around.
Love always,
Dad

The Dark Castle
Trapped in a virtual world, and losing players faster than they can keep up... the lone GM (Game Mod) left in the system goes into hiding until he can figure out what the hell is going on. No one can communicate, send emails, or even log out. They're trapped, and if something doesn't happen soon, players who live alone will starve and dehydrate long before help arrives.

Robert Walsh—Katie’s big brother and firstborn of the winemaking family—is uncovering a correlation between terran magic, the Wave crystals, and ghost manifesting in brute force. And everybody is turning a blind eye against a possible threat. With the arrival of familiar off-worlders from Jaruka’s life helping out and the government making moves for a better quality of life for humans and terrans, it's only a matter of time before Robert's discovery turns against them.

8 72Aria of Memory
Try as one might, the will of the Crystals shall not be denied. As ashes turn to ashes and dust turns to dust, so too does the radiant brilliance dim to deepest darkness. The Fallen One--a young woman of unknown origin, afflicted with amnesia, has come to the Star where the Crystals once held sway. Imbued with power beyond her ken and chosen to bear a burdensome mantle, she fights for friends, she lives for love, she dies for duty, and like a phoenix rises anew to continue her journey. Her quest is without end--her vigil, everlasting; yet, she does not stand alone against the vicissitudes of the Forces of Ruin. Alone or not, however, she shall become what she must.
