Synthetic Fire

A cyber-noir novella about love, grief, and the terrifying pursuit of perfection

When Dona Roy wakes up in a hospital, something is... off. Her voice sounds strange. Her

memories come in flashes. Her body no longer feels like her own.

Because it isn’t.

In a desperate attempt to save her after a horrific accident, her husband Allan turned to

forbidden biotech—rebuilding her into a breathtaking blend of flesh and machine. But in

doing so, he didn’t just bring her back… he created something new.

As Dona rediscovers herself—flawless, precise, emotionally dulled—memories of their lost

Child ignites a dangerous obsession: not just to remember Ephron, but to resurrect him.

Now, love and loss blur into a dark mirror of technology and desire, and Allan must confront

a terrifying question: is this still the woman he married… or something far more powerful?
