But the path to success veers unpredictably, plunging her into a web of corporate intrigue and underground challenges. In a city where humanity melds with technology, Marlene faces a crucial question: how much of herself is she willing to risk for a better future?

Chapter 1Marlene

The neon lights bled into the night sky, creating a twilight that never faded in Crystal City. I, Marlene, traversed its streets with my boots echoing against wet concrete. In a world where everyone was augmented or plugged in, my mere human presence was a stark anomaly.

"Here we go," I whispered to myself, cutting through the crowd. This mantra was my own, a personal vow of the legacy I intended to build in this electric wilderness. The city buzzed with possibilities, each corner a potential chapter in my own story of ambition and resilience.

A shadowy figure emerged from the neon glow, his voice resonating with the electronic buzz of a vocal modulator. "I've never seen a woman so fierce and alone," he commented. His words, an unspoken offer, were familiar in this city. "For a price, your night could be less... dreary," he suggested, eyeing me.

I shook my head with a smirk. "Not interested in lighting up your night or anyone else's," I replied firmly. He looked disappointed but nodded, disappearing back into the city's light and shadow. "Won't stop till I'm a legend," I murmured to myself, reinforcing my own resolve.

Later, a more menacing figure blocked my path, his cybernetic arm reflecting the neon. "Your creds, now," he demanded. I didn't handed him my chip, but my curiosity took over. "What turns a man into a shadow?" I asked.

"We're all just bytes in the system, heading for a fall," he responded, his eyes cold and distant. His words struck a chord, echoing the harsh truths of the city.

Back in my apartment, the city's rhythm seemed far away. News of a corrupted preacher flickered on my screen. His story, like many others, reflected the relentless pursuit prevalent in this digital maze.

As I gazed out over the city, a sense of solitude enveloped me. "Blood, sweat, I'll break my bones," I vowed to the sprawling urban landscape. "Till all my scars bleed golden." My ambition wasn't a mere desire; it was the essence of my being in this world of chrome and neons.

"Bang, bang," I thought, each challenge a shot fired in my own war against obscurity. "Won't stop till I'm a legend," I promised the city and myself. In this expanse of concrete and neon, I was more than a survivor. I was a dreamer, a fighter, etching out a name that would resound through time.

"There ain't no peace for the daring," I whispered as neon danced across my face. "Not until I log out one final day."

Be Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse

I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?
