Whispers of Chimera - A Darkening past

Gian-Marko Chavez

Beschreibung

 In the flickering shadows of a city haunted by whispers,  Ethan Hart walks a perilous line between reality and manipulation.  A veteran scarred by war and the echoes of past battles,  he is the silent guardian,  the only one who hears the chilling melody of Project Chimera 2. 0 – a bioweapon designed to twist minds and turn citizens into unwitting pawns. 
 Allied with Veronica Leigh,  a fiery activist wielding her voice like a weapon,  Ethan embarks on a desperate mission to dismantle the Puppeteer's digital symphony.  They navigate labyrinthine firewalls and battle anonymous puppeteers pulling the strings of public opinion.  But the enemy is more than code and algorithms; it's a virus of misinformation,  weaving fabricated realities that threaten to tear the city apart. 
 As the battle escalates,  Ethan faces a chilling choice:  expose the Puppeteer and risk unleashing chaos,  or let the echoes of control continue to manipulate the city under the veil of silence.  His every step reverberates with the ghosts of past victories and failures,  urging him forward into a dance with the shadows,  where the fate of the city hangs by a thread of truth. 
 In Whispers of Chimera,  prepare to plunge into a world where technology is the weapon,  the mind the battlefield,  and the shadows hold the secrets to both salvation and annihilation.  Join Ethan Hart in a symphony of suspense,  where every whisper could be a lie,  every truth a weapon,  and the only hope lies in deciphering the echoes before they drown out the city's soul.

"The Shadow Out of Time" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. 
The story follows Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, who suffers a sudden mental collapse in 1908, losing his memory for five years. During this period, his body is controlled by an unknown intelligence while his own consciousness experiences life in a vast prehistoric era, housed within the body of a member of the Great Race of Yith—an ancient, time-traveling alien species that exchanges minds with beings across time to gather knowledge. 
"The Shadow Out of Time" is one of Lovecraft’s most ambitious Cthulhu Mythos works, blending cosmic horror with science fiction, and exploring themes of non-linear time, forbidden knowledge, and mankind’s small place in an immense, alien universe.

Paranoia Pixies and…Prophecies?

Melinda Chase

If there was one thing I'd learned over the last few months, it was that absolutely nothing lasted forever. 
 
 
 
Which was probably why I'd been so surprised when Hunter announced he was staying in Portland. I couldn't help but think, and hope, that it had something to do with me, a forty-year-old divorcee who was half witch and half fae. 
 
 
 
Or maybe that was just a pipe dream. 
 
 
 
Either way, a new hunk isn't the only thing that's changed in my life within the last forty-eight hours. For starters, I freed an elf from prison based solely on the fact that he knew my grandfather's name. And then that elf promptly had some sort of magical heart attack, leaving me to wonder just what the heck is going on in the world of the fae. 
 
 
 
I won't have to wait too long to get answers, though. In fact, they're coming at me more quickly than I can even think.
