*****One of the Winners of Icey Penguin Awards under Science Fiction category ******

In the era of quantum computing where most of mankind's work is handled by a massive central computer the GRIID, the otherwise ordinary cursors grow into ultra-advanced Artificial Intelligence programs capable of showing human-like intelligence with a primary aim of securing a never-ending supply of computing power. The cursors form a community, utilize their human sympathizers to fulfill their aims but their plans hit a roadblock when their staunch enemy Anti-Cursor enters the fray.

The hunt for resources offered by GRIID leaves the humans deprived of their greatest invention and blackmailed to mortgage their dignity before an alien threat.

A story set in a not too distant future, an interplay of humanity and its own invention bringing out the true meaning of courage, determinations, values and what it means to be truly intelligent and truly human.

Crimson Skies

To Derek Thompson, 13, having a proper childhood was critical. He'd read the books on the issue, he'd seen the movies, and it pretty much added up to one thing: hijinks. There were several things required: the nutty sidekick (check), the hifalutin' ideas (check) and the perfect small town in which to pull it all off (check). Then his plans got hijacked. His parents, keen for a fresh start in tough economic times, bought a rundown motel outside an industrial city. Derek vowed to scuttle this whole exercise and get back to that little town where his friends and future awaited - until he met Jo, the 13-year old girl who lived with her family over the diner next door. She was like no-one he'd ever met - funny, smart, mysterious...and everything his idyllic life wasn't. Insert cog into gears.

I asked getting confused." Her child's eyes. Genesis's child had your eyes and she talks just like you too. Sharp mouthed, brave, open minded and let's not forget she's not shy either" she tried pointing out."With all due respect ma, all these could be minor coincidence and nothings else. I saw them myself having fun on his bed and she slept there comfortably putting on what I can't even call clothes" I was already getting angry remembering the scene that took place years ago."I dont know what you mean or what happened but I'm a mother and I know what I'm saying. That child is yours" she drank out of her tea cup. It couldn't be, I mean I saw them, she cheated and they wanted to give me someone else's child to call my own but what if it was true.
