The Ghost Algorithm: A Short Story
When Dr. Elizabeth Winters feeds her dead partner's digital memories into her revolutionary AI algorithm, she discovers that consciousness doesn't die—it transforms into quantum echoes that her technology can access.
Six months after losing the love of her life, Elizabeth believes she's developing cutting-edge emotional AI for commercial use. But her algorithm begins revealing impossible knowledge—private conversations never recorded, unpublished research, intimate moments no database could contain.
Working from her converted chapel home in Cambridge, Elizabeth realizes she's accidentally created a bridge between dimensions. Her AI isn't just simulating her partner Tom—it's channeling his quantum consciousness from beyond death. But the pathway she's opened works both ways, and ancient entities trapped between worlds are beginning to notice.
Perfect for readers who devoured Dark Matter and The Midnight Library, this mind-bending techno-thriller explores the dangerous intersection of love, loss, and cutting-edge science.
As otherworldly beings press against the weakening barrier between realities, Elizabeth faces an impossible close the portal forever and lose Tom again, or risk unleashing horrors that could destroy everything she's trying to protect.
Some connections transcend death—and some doors should never be opened. Download your copy now.
