Walter: Book One Nov 28, 2014

by Ernie Howard

( 30 )

$2.99

Walter is an odd boy.

To say he is not like the other kids is an understatement. Being odd doesn't win you many friends nor does it give you anonymity.

Kids can be mean... Walter doesn't care what the other kids do or say to him because he knows a horrible secret. Walter knows when the world is going to end.

Walter meets a man who knows the future and he tells him about the apocalyptic events that are about to consume the earth, via Walter's TV. Walter and his mother's only chance of survival is to follow The Man's instructions perfectly. If they do not, they will perish with the rest of the population.

The apocalypse is coming.

The only people that can save the human race is a young boy and a mysterious man from the stars.

A World Without: Singularity is Near (NorWorld Short Stories Book 1) May 27, 2014

by Ernie Howard

( 27 )

$2.99

The Future is Scary!

Anthony's wife Susan has lost her love. She takes long business trips, and talks in clipped sentences. The problems that Anthony sees in his marriage are not what they seem. They are bigger than the two people who can't seem to get back to where they once were.

At Norworld, we prolong life through A.I. We take away the suffering with technology.

"If the one person in your life you loved the most was there one second and gone the next what would you do? You would explore every possibility to get them back. Losing someone is a bone crushing, soul emptying experience, but now it doesn't have to be! At NorWorld, we prolong life through A.I. We take away the suffering with Technology." - Dr. Thad Feast

Singularity is near. The Droids are Becoming...

What really is consciousness? Is it what we can see, taste, hear, and feel? If that is what consciousness is couldn't we duplicate it with an Artificially Intelligent being? As humans we really are just computers, that walk around in movable meat suits. It's consciousness that makes up the person we are. Machines that are like us in every way will eventually surpass us, or that is the way it looks today. The age of quantum computing is just around the corner. A World Without is a quick peak into the future. This is book one of the Nor World series.

"A super high five to Mr. Ernie Howard for this short story. His style is well synchronized for giving the reader (me) that eerie peeked interest of wonder, like that loose end I just couldn't place my finger on until I was supposed to. This piece was smooth and the "aha" factor was creepy cool. Thank you for your energy here from start to finish."

"The future is scary. This was a brisk and intriguing read. I'm excited to see what comes next in nor world! The author was able to tell a super story in a short form. Can't wait to read more."

"I have read a few short stories now (they seem to be becoming more popular in put time-constrained lives). This is by far the best so far - it was the first that did its job and left me wanting more. A lot more! I have been given a taster of the author's fluent, flowing style and highly recommend"
