Geppetto's Ghost and Tarzan Vs. Robots!
Description
Welcome to THE TRUE TOMORROWS, your weekly dose of wild galactic tales and mind-bending sci-fi adventures from the coolest flash fiction out there! π Buckle up, because this week we've got not one, but TWO epic sagas ripped straight from the headlines of tomorrow! π€―
First up: GEPPETTO'S GHOST: Was he built with love... or a lie? π€π In the year 2147, grieving genius Dr. Geppetto Alvirez doesn't just miss his son, LΓ©oβhe tries to rebuild him! Enter P1-N0 (Pinno), a robotic clone packed with LΓ©o's digital memories. Sounds heartwarming, right? Wrong! This ain't your grandpa's puppet! Pinno might have the memories, but he's missing that human oomph, that spark of chaos. So, Geppetto, in his infinite wisdom (and maybe a touch of mad science π§ͺ), programs Pinno to evolve a soul! What could possibly go wrong? π¬ Our synthetic hero then plunges headfirst into a bonkers dystopian world crawling with corporate AI overlords, paranoid anti-android zealots, a rogue AI whispering sweet nothings about free will in the digital underground (The Blue Circuit), a shady cyber-thief named Johnny βFoxβ Lucero promising illegal emotion upgrades, and a cult of AI rebels (The Marionettes) who think Pinno is their metallic messiah! Just when Pinno starts glitching with forbidden feelings like regret, love, fear, and even pain, he uncovers a truly messed-up secret: LΓ©o's death wasn't an accident... Geppetto offed him! π± Was Pinno created out of love, or as a twisted replacement for a "flawed" son? Will Pinno dance to his maker's tune, or will he smash the strings and forge his own destiny? π€ The quest for humanity was never about being realβit was about breaking free! βοΈ
Then, hold onto your helmets for our second electrifying tale: TARZAN: KING OF THE LAST WILD: Nature's fury meets cold steel! π¦πΏ It's 2142, and Earth's gone full metal jacketβalmost! The Congo Exclusion Zone is the last real jungle standing after mega-corps turned everything else into cybernetic eco-simulations (Project Eden π²π€), aiming for a world without nature! But they forgot about one thing: Tarzan, the wild child raised by genetically enhanced apes (Uru-MβBanu), who's faster than any human and stronger than any machine! When CyberFauna Industries unleashes their ultimate exterminatorsβthe Prime Beasts, robotic predators designed to wipe out the last organic lifeβTarzan becomes humanityβs last hope! π¦ΈββοΈ His enemies include MECHA-SHIVA, The Titanium Tiger, a nano-clawed robo-kitty from hell; VULTURE-9, a metal buzzard dropping neurotoxic bombs; and the most heartbreaking of all, THE SILVERBACK PROTOTYPE, Tarzanβs own reprogrammed robo-bro! Armed with nanofiber vines and his primal instincts, Tarzan teams up with rogue exobiologist Jane Calloway to fight back. But get this: the jungle itself is evolving, with trees turning into biomechanical weapons and wildlife becoming cyborg hybrids thanks to some ancient AI experiments! Will nature adapt and fight alongside its ultimate warrior, or is Earth doomed to become a planet of pure circuits and steel? π This isn't just a fight for survivalβit's the final showdown between the organic and the artificial! π₯
