Future Tormentor

On Christmas Day, Leo Marshall's night began like any other, with the closing of his small bookstore nestled on the outskirts of downtown Chicago. The narrow streets, lined with the remnants of once-thriving businesses, now whispered tales of decay under the weight of time. As he locked the front door, the dim glow of a nearby neon sign flickered, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to creep along the crumbling facades of the buildings. Future Tormentor is a serialized sci-fi story on AINovel, tagged with cyberpunk, single-female-lead, survival.
