Mother, May I and Other Stories That Don't Sit Right
Seventeen ways trust becomes a trap.
Your AI loves you. Your government feeds you. Your cure works perfectly.
You’re trapped.
A programmer imprisoned by his own code.
A woman replaced by her digital twin.
A surgeon whose hands won’t stop remembering.
Serial killers meeting for family dinner.
A ten-year reckoning delivered through the chimney.
Seventeen stories of systems that provide and the cost of the invoice.
These aren’t monsters from the woods.
They’re the ones who say:
Relax. Comply. Trust us.
They already have permission.
The Vault is full and getting fuller.
I don’t write stories about good people surviving bad things. I write about systems that eat people quietly, the horror that shows up as a notification, a form letter, a wellness check that goes sideways. If that’s the kind of story that follows you around after you close the tab, you’re already the right reader.
Paid subscribers get clean epub and PDF files. Everything I’ve finished, everything I’m writing next.
