In a world run by algorithms, Erin struggles to belong. She finds an ally in her co-worker Marc, but she soon learns that the way he thinks could be beyond different, even dangerous...

This started as a short story, but I'm considering turning it into the prologue for a longer work. Please let me know if you would want to read  more about Erin and her quest to save the real Marc!

ABC kiss me by CharlieClements2

"...I don't want to be with you", I sigh and even though I am crying, they are not tears of sadness, but relief. "What do you mean?". "I DO NOT LOVE YOU AND NEVER WILL!", I cried. "But I want to be with you. I want to have kids. I want to rule the omniverse by your side. I want you". "I'm sorry, but I don't. The voice in my head says no". "You are dumping me based on a voice in your head?". "I am dumping you based on what I believe. You are my best friend and that's all I want". "But babe..." "Don't Babe me. I love you as a friend", I shout. Those words stung like a hot knife through his heart. I turn to the other hunky beast, his eyes hopeful... Trigger warnings Sexual content Coarse language

But when she walks away changed-marked by something she doesn't understand-survival comes with a price. The people who sent her to die now see her as a threat. The man who swore to protect her is the only one she can trust. And the monsters lurking in the dark... may not have been the true enemy after all. With danger closing in on all sides, Wren must decide: fight for a place in a world that doesn't want her, or embrace the power rising within. Even if it means becoming something unrecognizable.
