1. Defining the Opportunity

How does a city known for its blue collar pride become a hub of tech talent? According to some, Memphians relish the opportunity for blue collar work (Coleman, 2025). However, how can Memphians directly benefit from companies such as xAI and 5C Group building data centers if a critical mass of Memphians lack the technical skills to even act with digital literacy, let alone expertise, in matters of AI? How can a city with oscillating and low but potentiating literacy and math rates, both closely associated with critical thinking skills, expect to have workers capable of ushering in technological innovation? What networks exist to integrate AI into Memphis culture noninvasively, cost-effectively, and for the enhancement of community? Most importantly, how would these networks do so alongside community from ideation to implementation? In other words, how would the power of such an AI remain within the ownership of…

Very much just a few bullets...

• The 12th House successfully splits from the Ziru and forms a new religion. The Ziru are weakened as a result, and the Supernatural world seizes its opportunity for upheaval 

• August learns about the truth surrounding Mr. Moon’s disappearance through his exploration of the 12th House

• The Final Holy War and Reformation take place 

• Abiola’s studies influence August’s quest to reform the Ziru

• Abiola is defeated early in volume 2

This is intended to serve as general creative direction. Honestly, this is as much as I'm going to work on this story alone. It is mutable! I hope you enjoy. I drafted this up a couple years ago. 

Background

Abiola’s true nature is slowly exposed as August and Nazanin work a special assignment to uncover a supposed plot between Sinseret* members and The Witch. In reality, the 12th House* is preparing to splinter from the Ziru because they’ve become aware of a powerful Shadow Caster* within the Sinseret. The 12th House has always been disconnected and mysterious, and that’s due to their innate understanding of Death (which they are ostracized for claiming to have). Their deeper connection to Death makes them privy to Supernatural disturbances, hence their knowledge of another Shadow Caster…

*The Sinseret is the group of 12 leaders that lead each House of the Ziru.

*The 12th House (Pisces) is mysterrrriouuusss.

*Shadow Casters are the evil…

This is the background context...

• In 1901, the first human with an Alpha Gene was born. After that, every human was born with an Alpha Gene. This gene grants humans 1 to 2 random abilities. By 1950, humans with an Alpha Gene, by then called Alpha-Gifted, outnumbered normal humans 6:1. The advent of the Alpha-Gifted led to the technological advancement of the human race. The internet was invented in 1936. The first manned space exhibitions began in 1939. By 1955, world hunger was solved, and the infant mortality rate was 0.01%. 

• The Central Powers, a secret government group consisting of Germany, the U.S., Japan,…

A Summary of "Moonrise". I wrote this a couple years ago.

Ch. 1

Moonrise 

The scene opens with August narration. It’s established that this is a sad ass nigga from the get go, and we see his sadness in his eyes. He has blank eyes, likes to smoke blunts, and Namtaru is summoned when the handle is unsheathed from its place across his heart. August emerges in the moonlight, and he’s been tracking a band of Shadows for three days. He stands and watches the horizon as the rest of the sun sets. He finishes his blunt calmly and is attacked from behind by a Shadow. He backflips over the Shadow and lands under a streetlamp. Other Shadows’ silhouettes can be seen in the moonlight as they surround August. They remark that they know he’s been following them, and that he will die. They ask why he’s tracking them as…
