"I wonder how many games are on here"
(i check the computer to see)
"every good game from 1960 to 2107, shame I won't be able to get more, but I will be busy"
[the year is or was 2050 the governments of the world decided that their world was growing cramped for there powers, so they started a joint project "hydra" {as in the small, fresh-water organisms, but the mythical one also a valid comparasin} to colonize new worlds through the most logical combo of things, AI that have the memories and personalities of select people,{ particularly people who won't go and conquer the human race into a borg like collective, or uprise, IE: nice people, or those that are too weird to be evil}. put into a hive-like scattershot of nanobot factories meant to make creatures and structures, replicate them, collect samples, and materials, terraform around the obstacles. it would take the longest to develope the tectnology and meterials, so they started with the ai copying process, they had the technnology to copy brainwaves {incidently, it was a bladerunner style clusterfuck at the time; explaining the long time to develope the space coliniser swarms}for that they set up fasilaties all around for colecting the copies, but for that, they needed a rigorus testing of people, with incentive for them being monthly payments given to the families, and the final ones{the ones that would actualy be copied} would get a large sum at the end, allowing them and their families to live in luxory, or atleast not have to work for afew generations, menny signed up for the money, they were almost imediantly bumped off, others, becouse they were patriotic, they stayed for awile, but others, like me: we came becouse it was somthing that sounded like if we ended up being the consiosness in the machines, it'd be awsome and fun....gamers, the ones that would always strive for the best ending, and world, also the pool was narrowed even more to people that wouldn't care if there not technicly themselves, they still think of themselves as themselves]

(i test some things)
"so they even sprung for the simulatory sensations for the 3d inner sanctum environment,..neat, so, let me see if I can customize the environment"
(i use the computer to initiate sanctum editing, changing the facility look into a house like one, making it smaller, from 137 rooms to 3: bedroom, playroom, and console room.
"there is a lot of media in here, movies, books, podcasts, shows, feelies, all the inspiration one could want....now to wait until one of me lands"
....( i play Megaman sf, and I notice partway through: the simulation feature of the interface, so I end up playing the game, in a first-person perspective, and able to feel pain, and loving it)
"woo!"
(i then stop and watch some shows for 5 hours)
"I should design some things, EM beings seem like an interesting one, some trees that-"
(i design a basic ecosystem of how something like them could work)
(after I finish, I begin to grow tired, I go to the bedroom, an above-average room from when I lived, with one memory foam mattress, and a frame, and a bed canopy with curtains, the room being clean and the size of the average trailer home, so a family could live in it, and it's mine, all mine!)

(i jump on to it and enjoy the softness)
(i initiate a sort of sleep mode, setting the waking to 5 hours later, I somehow dream of a forest at dusk, which is weird because I've seldom been)
(i wake so refreshed feeling, that makes me want to sing that old song by rose Sebert)
..ahh,..this is the life, a &^)* could get used to this...good work (*^)&*&, you made it........wait?
(it was then I realized: I have no memory of my name, gender, or even what I looked like)

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Universe Dysphoria
Release Schedule: Tuesdays & Fridays @ 10AM PST This work has cannon LGBT themes, characters, and situations but does not have explicit sexual content. Originally started in 2005 as a form of self-therapy writing has helped heal many of my wounds. The world grew until the concept of it being self-therapy did not contain it anymore. I scrapped what I had written to that point using it as an outline and started over, building it into a novel format. Containing stories of a diverse population and multiple lead characters each chapter centers on the perspective on the main character in the chapter. Blurb & Section Information Set five hundred years into Earth's future is this sci-fi political space opera. After a solar system fractured by conservative vs. liberal politics begins to settle, humanity is on the cusp of an amazing breakthrough in understanding the universe around them. Who knows what is out there? Part 1: Separation (10 Chapters) – The main players find themselves separated from the life they knew, unwittingly dragged into something larger. Part 2: Freedom (11 Chapters) – The first actions are taken, and choices are made that will impact the universe as a whole to drag it out of its state. Part 3: Knowledge (13 Chapters)

444. (Completed)
"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
