Scientist by day, secret bibliophile always. I’m drawn to the edges where ancient verse meets neon code—where every line of dialogue could be an algorithm, and every heartbeat a glitch waiting to spark rebellion. In my short stories, you’ll meet clay phoenixes born in AI‐run kilns, prediction engines that learn to dream, and characters who fight for the space between stimulus and response. If you’re curious about who we become when our choices can be foreseen, step into my world, where technology and literature entwine. This first story is only the beginning; I’d love your thoughts on whether its themes, characters, and conflicts have room to blossom into a full novel.
