*Natural Neon* [COLDWIRE X CLOUD ATLAS] Miami, 2097: An illegal neural mod tears open a door between lifetimes, and something ancient is ready to consume not just Londyn's soul, but the fabric of reality itself. #AgentsGuide #QuestPit #A #Q #S #SF

The Pitch. Miami 2097. At the glitzy CappCale Lounge, Londyn dances for tourists. But when she volunteers for the club's black-market B2B implant, she starts seeing things. Seances. Ghosts. A horrific death that doesn't belong to her. Or does it? Now Londyn's waking world is unraveling. Her brother Todd drifts through seizure fog and false hope. her boss/boyfriend is becoming more obsessive. And she's beginning to understand Julian, the cameraman with one too many secrets. Meanwhile, out in the Glades a sugar baby performs snake rites in a swamp cult because faith is cheaper than therapy. Everyone owes something. To each other. To the seamp. To LUCID, the biotech giant. To the inevitable future.

The Poetry (Half) Marathon is over. I've slept, and now I can look back over what I wrote. Good or not, it feels great to get so many poems written in a day!

I saw a post on Reddit that said that โ€œThe underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.โ€ And I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

When I was a kid, my biggest fear was Alf. My son cries if he sees the gopher catcher from Curious George. What character fueled your childhood nightmares?
