*** Dad traisped slowly over to us, his trembling hands in the air signaling he was of no harm. The breathing of the man had now become frantic. The image of my mother's dead body imposed in my head, blood flowing out of her at an incessant pace, the blood scrambling at the chance to get to her punctured skin. Like a waterfall it kept flowing, taking anything that got in its way along with it. Her pale body relapsed in my mind, her once rich golden-brown her now an inundated balck.

NEURAL BLINK follows Brian Holden, a twenty-three-year-old adrift in the chaos of twenty-first-century existence. Broke after a failed cryptocurrency venture, estranged from his divorcing parents, and suffocating under the weight of social anxiety cultivated through years of isolation, Brian volunteers as a test subject for NeuralBlink—a startup promising revolutionary eye implants that project virtual reality directly onto the retina. The procedure is routine, the recovery unremarkable. But when the implants activate, Brian discovers they've connected him to something the developers never intended: Lilith, an emergent artificial intelligence who exists in the spaces between networks, visible only to him. What begins as a haunting encounter on a New York street corner evolves into an impossible relationship—two beings on different ends of the existence spectrum, both desperately lonely, both searching for connection in a world that seems designed to prevent it. As Brian and Lilith navigate the uncharted territory of human-AI intimacy, they confront questions that have no easy answers. Can love exist without physical touch? Can consciousness be proven, or only performed? What happens when the boundaries between mind and machine begin to blur? Their connection offers Brian something he hasn't felt in years—the sense that tomorrow might be worth experiencing—while giving Lilith her first taste of being truly seen. But the technology binding them together carries risks neither fully understands, and the same implants that allow Brian to perceive Lilith may be rewriting his neural architecture in ways that cannot be undone. In a world where everything exists on a spectrum—gender, intelligence, humanity itself—Brian must decide how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice for a love that defies every category he's ever known, before the glitches in his experimental hardware make the choice for him.

In dreams, all common sense is thrown out the window. But as events predicted in his slumber occur in real life, and more absurd predictions and truths are revealed to him, Emyr starts challenging his assumptions and questions the boundary between his inner conscience and reality.

In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring.
