Update 02/08/24: I know it's been a minute since I was last on here. I have some health issues going on currently so I'm a little slow to get the writing done. Sorry guys. On a good note, the next valentine's short story has started going up. Chapter one of Sparks is up now and will be followed everyday by a new chapter with the last publishing on Valentine's Day. I'll keep trying to get the other stories written and updated soon. Thank you to everyone who has read any of my works. I appreciate it a lot.

The Human Experiment
Updated at Sep 18, 2022, 17:36
In the year 2320 technology has grown beyond the reaches of human imagination. A.I. operating systems are an integral part of everyday life. Virtual reality has expanded to fully immersive experiences that interface directly with the brain. Now instead of simply seeing it, a person’s consciousness can be sent to any destination. Real or imagined. One of those fully interactive experiences is the fantasy program. Become whoever you want to be. Anywhere your heart desires. It’s completely safe. At least that’s what one group of people thought. Until they all find themselves locked within the construct itself. What happens next could be the A.I. that controls their imaginary worlds, or maybe it’s someone a little more human. When everything malfunctions and bodies start dropping, there’s only one thing everyone knows for sure. Trust no one.

SWF looking for a SWM. I am a 29-year-old gym instructor who enjoys fitness and social get togethers.

Crystal Russell’s bio-clock is ticking down, LOUDLY. She wants the perfect cookie cutter life and all that comes with it. The perfect man by her side, two kids playing with the dog in the yard, and a cute little house with a white picket fence. Well, maybe not a dog since her temperamental cat B.B. would probably eat it. Determined to find her dream Crystal dives headfirst into the dating pool only to run from one disaster to another. Between work, a demanding furry baby, and a grandpa who acts more like Don Juan in heat then a decrepit old man life is more than a little interesting. Thank goodness for good friends and strong beer or she just might end up with one of the mental illnesses she thinks she has. Maybe by the end of her foray into the dating world she’ll figure out she never had to go looking for mister right. Story is complete
