Dr. Ryan Brennan, a trailblazing scientist, researched the enigmatic uncanny valley. She hypothesized that humanity's aversion to near-human beings stemmed from a hidden ancestral trauma.
Unearthing long-buried, connected secrets across the world, Ryan discovered the Veiled, a near-human menacing cyborg species that once terrorized Earth.
For centuries, global leaders had obscured the truth, fearing widespread panic. As Ryan's revelations came to light, the world shook with the weight of its concealed history.
Her unyielding quest to expose the past altered humanity's understanding of their own fears, forever entwined with the haunting legacy of the Veiled.

Choose Your Own Adventure: St Helena Station
*****Preface***** I have been obsessed with Choose Your Own Adventure stories since I was a kid. I credit them with my love of reading and writing. I've been struggling to get my own kids to embrace words the same way I have but they love video games and our occasional Dungeon's and Dragon's game... which gave me an idea. I'll write an interactive story. So far its working; my middle son loves it and can't wait for the next section to come out.

Lately, I'm empty
Lately, I feel an emptiness inside of me that doesn’t make any sense. I was fine a week ago and now I’m numb to the pain that I’ve been carrying around. Numb to the idea of me existing. I wish I could go to a place where I can hear happy positive thoughts and surround myself with joy. The medication I’m on doesn’t seem to work anymore. I still feel pain from existing, why am I here anyways? Merely to exist. I don’t feel like I’m making any differences being here.
