《Tales of Disruption》Over 12 Billion Subscriptions and Counting!
Advertisement
On a private research space station owned by CyNanTech Corporation ...
"It's miraculous." CFO Marsha Wilcox said while reading a printed report. "The nanites are keeping viruses and cancer at bay. Finally!"
"Yes, ma'am, but we've still got one problem ..." replied Chief Scientist Samuel Earl.
"And that is?" Marsha winced and folded the report.
"Well, ma'am, they require constant feeding of a serum, and we can only make it here in low gravity."
"That's not a problem, Sam! That's fantastic!"

The treatment reached mass production ...
"Just one injection, and that's it, Doctor?" asked Sean Jenkins.
"That's correct, Mr. Jenkins, the nanites will enter your bloodstream and will stop your 'terminal' cancer. But you'll have to consume The serum every day for the rest of your life."
"For how much, Doctor?"
"Only $1.00 per dose."
"Let's do it!" Jenkins excitedly tapped his arm for a shot.

A decade had passed ...
CyNanTech executives gathered at the space station for a milestone dinner celebration.
Marsha stood up and spoke: "Congratulations to all of us! We've reached one-third of the planet. Over 12 billion subscriptions and counting! We're bound to become trillionaires!"
They all cheered and toasted drinks.
Marsha sat down and checked her phone. She received a secure-message from a newly hired biochemist, Director Fred Moss, requesting an urgent face-to-face meeting.
They met in private ...
"What is it, Fred?" asked Marsha.
"I've got exciting news, ma'am. I discovered a way to manufacture the serum on Earth."
"That's incredible!" Marsha smiled. "Send me your report so that I can get your research funded."

24 hours later, a broadcast came through on the Global Space News network:
***Breaking News***
I'm Rebecca Smith, sitting in for Mark Lee, who is on vacation:
"Another CyNanTech employee escaped an airlock. The fourth mysterious suicide this year. Rumors say a 'space sickness' affects some individuals' brain tissue due to extensive time spent experimenting in low gravity. Some experts are concerned about contagion. Authorities are quarantining all private space stations. The good news is that it won't disrupt any manufacturing or distribution of the life-saving serum, as confirmed by CyNanTech."

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
