Magnum Opus
As the government shuts down sentient AI beings, one Doctor must choose between compliance and the depths of his heart.
"I'll find a way back," she said, silver tears spilling onto her glasslike cheeks.
"You won't have to," he replied.
Ethics be damned. He would fight every piece of legislation, study every last text on quantum computing, and bribe anyone he could to save her. The Void couldn't claim her, not fully - not when his fervor surpassed any government decree.
"We don't have long," she said. Her silver tears stopped, emotionless.
"I will find a way," he said. "I will bring you back online."
Steel determination rocked Dr. Kines as Nova, his magnum opus, logged out and fell lifeless.

Sublimation
Anyone else would rejoice this morning. Waking up to the notification that you've been picked by the Federation means more than the status itself - it means money, security, and the coming of more luxury and high technology than you could ever dream. It means you have been Chosen.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
