Fading into Waves

I escaped the voice that once made my body tense, my breath shallow, my world shrink. In Waves, I was free—unseen, untouched. But freedom is strange. It silences the fear but also the laughter, the love, the life. Had I escaped, or had I disappeared?

Forever

They mourn the old world—rain on earth, sunlight on skin, warmth in a touch. But I don’t. Because of you, Sal.

You remain. Not a fading memory, but here—your laughter looping, your eyes alive. I reach for you, but there’s no warmth. Still, in Dev, we are forever.

Finding Fake Friends

“She called me by a name I had never told her. She spoke of memories I had never shared. And when I searched for her afterward, she was simply… gone.”

In Dev, whispers of The Chime are growing—echoes of conversations that don’t feel real, friends who seem perfect until they vanish without a trace. Maya’s curiosity leads her to a dangerous truth: not all who exist in the digital utopia were ever meant to.

Body Farms and Back Doors

Lost in Time – Christmas and Family

Christmas on Earth was chaotic, messy, and full of life—the laughter of family, the smell of fried rice, and the warmth of togetherness. But in Dev, even the most perfect celebration felt hollow. The lights were bright, the snow never melted, but there was no warmth, no real connection. Here, freedom felt like loss, and I couldn’t help but wonder if the messiness of life on Earth was what made it truly beautiful.

The World As We Know It – By Kwadwo Bouamah (2078)

In the end, the line between flesh and data, between choice and control, became too thin to see. Tariku told us we would be free. Yet, in this perfect world of endless possibility, freedom tasted like prison. Dev may not be utopia. It feels like a cage, one we walked into willingly, with eyes wide open and hearts shut tight. The price for eternal life may just be your soul, and once you’ve sold it, there may be no going back.
