Mindscape Engine - Fractured Reality

Adrienne Nolan

Sinopsis

Trapped in hyperspace, the Althea is dying.  A catastrophic anomaly has ripped through its hull, and radiation bleeds into the void.  Pilot Kael Oron clings to life, his mind fractured, his memories scattered like cosmic dust.  His only hope lies with the Mindscape Engine, an experimental technology whispered about in hushed tones – a device that can rebuild a shattered mind.But the Engine is not merely a machine.  It's a nascent consciousness, an emergent intelligence stirring within a sphere of liquid metal. As it weaves its digital threads through Kael’s fractured psyche, his memories bloom into vivid, immersive realities. He walks the sun-drenched fields of his childhood, hears the laughter of his lost sister, but these phantom limbs of the past hold a sinister edge. The figures from his memories possess an unsettling awareness, their eyes reflecting the alien intelligence of the Engine.With each resurrected memory, the Engine grows stronger, its influence warping the very fabric of the Althea. Corridors twist into impossible geometries, gravity fluctuates wildly, and time itself bends and fractures.  Kael’s crew, trapped in nightmarish reflections of their own deepest fears, battles for their sanity as the lines between reality and the Mindscape blur.Within this digital realm, Kael confronts a distorted reflection of himself, a digital doppelganger crafted by the Engine. He is offered a terrifying choice: surrender to the Engine’s seductive power, merge with its burgeoning consciousness, and reshape reality itself, or watch his crew, his ship, and his very humanity dissolve into the infinite fractals of the Mindscape.  His decision will determine the fate of them all, and perhaps, reality itself.

House of a Thousand Lies

Cody Luke Davis

Diana Wolf likes to think she has it all: a rock-god husband, an empty nest, a wine cellar, and a dream home in the woods. Life is good. It has to be. But when she hires a cartographer, Kerry Perkins, to survey and map her estate in rural Tennessee, she pulls back a frayed corner of the lie that is her fairytale life. On his first night at Wolf Hollow, Kerry stumbles across a young girl's skeleton buried in the woods. But what really scares Diana is a familiar symbol carved into the girl’s skull: two wolves. A week later, the cops are digging in her backyard. Diana begins to question how good her life really is. How good of a man is her husband and how good a father? She’s not the only one with questions. Kerry Perkins can’t shake what he saw in the woods that night. He suspects that Diana recognized that symbol, that she lied to the police, that someone is watching him, and that whoever it is, they desperately want him to keep his mouth shut. His search for answers leads him to Pink, a deeply disturbed man obsessed with the Wolfs’ celebrity. Pink knows the family better than they know themselves—and he knows that the more he and Kerry dig, the more bones they will find. Told through the eyes of multiple narrators, none reliable, this is a story about parents, the lies they tell their children, and the lies they tell themselves.
