Penny Pucker: Stories

A little piece of flash fiction, a sensuous verbal still picture that hopefully catches and entices your imagination before it reaches its romantic yet explicit culmination.

Penny Pucker, A+ student, ambitious, pretty and unselfish, graduates high school, but the party is nothing like she expected. Her school has a dark tradition, and poor Penny gets to experience it first hand, on the stage, carnal and violent, shattering her innocence and modesty. There are few redeeming qualities in this story, so be warned. (This is an AI generated story)

Emily Rogers works as a mid-level engineer at Pythia, a frontier AI lab. She refuses magic on principle: her late father was a "wizard for hire" who ruined the family with scams and a second family. But the incidents she encounters can't be explained away by simple computer malfunctions. Her sarcastic and purely technical view on the world gets put to the test - or is it the other way round? A trippy, nerdy urban fantasy.
