CRISES ON THE BALCONY
She frowned.“Everything alright?” Freda asked, noticing her change in expression.“Just work,” Evelyn said calmly. She picked up the phone and answered, standing up and walking toward the balcony doors.She pressed the phone to her ear. “Hello, what is it?”There was a pause.Then came the nervous voice of Mr. Clark, the man in charge of Rhys-Tech Global’s finances.“Ma’am,” he began slowly, “I… I apologize for disturbing you this evening, but I think you should hear this immediately.”Evelyn rolled her eyes. “Clark, if this is just another update on currency trends or investment predictions, I swear—”“No, ma’am,” he cut in quickly, “this isn’t a report. This is urgent. Something serious has happened.”Evelyn’s face tensed. Her hand gripped the glass door. She lowered her voice.“Clark,” she said sharply, “I’m not in the mood for games. If you don’t tell me exactly what’s going on right now, you won’t be working at Rhys-Tech tomorrow.”There was silence on the other end. Then Clark’
JEWELS, JETS AND JUST ONE RING
Evelyn Rhys stood by the window of her luxury penthouse, watching the golden sunset pour across the skyline of Bullwick. The soft colors of orange and pink lit up the sky like a painting. Inside, the living room was full of quiet laughter, warm lights, and the smell of fresh vanilla candles.Her three friends—Freda, Hilda, and Clarissa—had come over for a visit. The four women sat on smooth white leather couches, each one holding a glass of sparkling juice. Their heels clicked on the glossy floors, their voices were rising and falling in joyful waves.They were dressed like queens. Freda wore a deep red silk gown with ruby earrings that sparkled in the light. Hilda had on a navy blue jumpsuit with gold chains and glittering heels. Clarissa wore a silver dress, tight at the waist, with long curls bouncing on her shoulders.Evelyn herself wore a simple but stunning emerald-green dress. Her diamond bracelet caught the light every time she lifted her glass.“You look amazing, Evie,” Fr
BURN THE WIRES
Lord Atherton’s eyes stayed locked on the screen, but his face had changed. The calm was cracking. His jaw was tight. His hand, usually steady, clenched slowly into a fist.“Seventeen percent,” he said quietly. “Gone. Just like that.”The young woman nodded. She looked nervous now. Not afraid of him, but afraid of what she had to say next.“Sir…” she hesitated. “You asked how we got here?”Atherton turned to her slowly. His voice was low and sharp. “Yes. Tell me.”She took a deep breath and tapped a few keys on the laptop. A set of files opened up. Folders named Shell Trades, Hollow Firms, Return Loops, Asset Shadows. These were not regular files. These were secrets.“Your offshore holdings,” she began. “Your cycle trades. The way we move money through fake businesses to create fake gains—it’s not working anymore. The market caught on. Investors are pulling out. Fast.”Atherton blinked slowly. “The system always bounces back.”“Not this time,” she replied. “Your Ponzi threads are dryi
INTEREST AND INTRUSION
It was another day in the Atherton capital and holdings which was a finance and logistics company, and in a tall glass office overlooking the bay, a man named Lord Atherton sat behind a desk of dark walnut. He was dressed in a finely pressed charcoal suit, a gold watch glinting from beneath his sleeve. His eyes were sharp, steady, the kind that didn’t blink easily. He wasn’t a real lord, but people still called him that. His money, influence, and calm authority gave him the title.Across from him sat Jonah Perkins, a well-known real estate mogul in the city of Bellwick. Mr. Perkins was in his late fifties, with graying temples and a belly that pressed gently against his tailored suit. His fingers drummed lightly on the arm of the leather chair, nervous but trying not to show it."So," Lord Atherton said, folding his hands, "how much are you in need of, Mr. Perkins?"Mr. Perkins cleared his throat. "Three hundred million dollars."Lord Atherton raised an eyebrow. "That is... quite a
THE HUNTER'S INSTINCT
Five days later, Nolan woke with a jolt. The air in the bunker had changed. It felt denser, sharper—like static clinging to his skin.His eyes shot to the monitors. He expected the usual cascade of code and data streams. But what he saw froze him.The Ghost Network wasn’t reacting—it was evolving. Lines of code looped, rewrote themselves, split, and converged with patterns he hadn’t programmed. It wasn’t just learning. It was anticipating. Creating.He rubbed at his eyes, trying to shake off sleep. But this wasn’t fatigue-induced delusion. The Ghost network had crossed a line—one he hadn’t drawn.It wasn’t adapting anymore.It was awakening.He watched, his breath was shallow, as algorithms forked into new branches, as neural weights shifted autonomously. The system was refining itself—optimizing without orders, without human input. What he had built to simulate intelligence had started becoming it.It was terrifying. And beautiful.For an hour, he just sat there, mesmerized. The Gho
OBSESSION
For five full seconds, Nolan stood frozen, chest tight, brain refusing to process what had just happened.Then he moved.He ran.When he reached the terminal, he tore off the casing of the terminal with bare hands, not caring as sharp edges bit into his fingers. Sparks still flew. He forced the emergency breakers down, slamming a backup drive into place. A coolant line had burst; he shoved it back, securing it with duct tape and a prayer.For a moment, nothing.Then—flicker.The lights returned. The processor blinked.Alive.Barely.The Ghost network wasn’t dead. But nearly was.And Nolan? He realized something terrifying:The line between control and collapse was thinner than he ever imagined.However for the data?Only 42% was recovered.He had lost days of training models. Thousands of test simulations. Gone.He stood there, panting, shaking, fingers bleeding.That’s when it hit him.The line between control and collapse was paper thin.Glitch Three: ObsessionIt wasn’t just the
