A Swarm Cycle Story
Lyle McFadden has always been a bit timid...too passive for the Confederacy Defense Forces for sure. But one night he gathers enough courage to use a pickup line, and it changes his life forever.
This is the story of a girl captured by aliens and made into a cyborg. The main character is based on Alita: Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell. But the story is not.

John Roberts lead a pretty mundane, ordinary life until the day he passed by a woman standing under an overhang trying to stay dry in the rain. Being a gentleman he offered to help her. But it was he who was going to receive the help!
One evening, a little high from the THC dummies, our hero, Sam, discovers that he is living with an alien, and that the earth has been long overrun by creatures from distant galaxies! There is a character from Brooklyn in this story, and I have used phonetic spellings to imitate his English. Based on the speech of a now dearly departed friend. But if you are offended by this, then pass on reading it. You must not have enough of a sense of humor anyway! LOL
Love, creatures, and photons—can the best minds in the world untangle this mashup? The corporate facility known as VEIL wants to be the first to achieve maximum quantum entanglement. This revolutionary project could produce computers rivaling the human brain. But during a full-scale test, something goes wrong, creating a portal that entangles our world with another dimension. This portal lets fantastical creatures escape the wrath of their loveless ruler drawn to love in ours.
