Damn. Thanks for catching that. Fixing it right now.

Ryan’s Redemption The next morning, Ryan sat in a corner booth of a local coffee shop, chosen for its quiet atmosphere and lack of familiar faces. He’d arrived early, nursing his second cup of coffee and a gnawing pit of guilt. In front of him sat a box of donuts—Nate’s favorite, with sprinkles. It was a pathetic gesture, but Ryan didn’t know how else to begin mending the wreckage he’d caused. He turned the cup in his hands, staring at the dark liquid as if it might hold answers. How di

I absolutely LOVE reading your comments! Taking a lot of what you write into account as I work on another story. 🙂 🙏

I climbed into the car and buckled my seatbelt as Ken glanced over at me. “Hey, kiddo. How was school?” he asked, his tone light. “It was… good,” I said, staring out the window. I wasn’t lying. It had been a good day. The drive was quiet except for the hum of the engine and the occasional sound of Ken flipping through radio stations. My mind, though, was racing. I replayed the day in my head: the jokes, the easy banter, and the way Cal had smiled at me when he said goodbye. I

Ryan’s chest tightened as the conflicting voices in his mind grew louder, a cacophony of fear and desperation. I can’t. I just can’t. Keep it together. Don’t say it. Don’t ruin this. But the other voice—the quieter, more insistent one—pressed on. Tell him. He loves you. He’ll understand. The tension burned in his throat, his heart hammering so hard he thought Nate might feel it. Ryan squeezed his eyes shut, pressing himself deeper into Nate’s chest, as if he could disappear into the warmth

Finally! I've always been an introvert, and do find it hard to make friends as I get older but when I was younger, it was so easy!

You're right, it handles other genres pretty nicely as well. Apparently you have quite a bit more control, but I don't quite understand how the tags work so I've been listening to other AI generated music and they also show the lyrics and the full structure, so learning from that and from the Sona Subreddit.

Correct! I thought it was amazing how it picked up on things, of course you need to use tags and I've seen others do some pretty cool stuff. Also depending on which genre you select, it just uses the right voice. Need to play around with it a lot more, the Sona Subreddit is pretty active with people trying out all types of things to see the results.

The next few weeks, Michael was overly cautious with everything he did. He worked from home entirely, monitoring everything at home with eagle-eyed vigilance. He even began to suspect the nanny might be involved somehow—though in what, he wasn’t entirely sure. Paranoia consumed him. Every sound, every glance, every offhand comment from Sarah felt like a potential landmine. He had let his guard down once, and it had almost cost him everything. That would never happen again. But there was one

My morning routine didn’t change. Wake up, get cleaned up, pack my backpack for school. Head down for some breakfast, then someone would drop me off. This week it was Jen, since she was on the late shift at the hospital. The ride to school was the usual. Jen and I chatted about school and whether I’d made any friends yet. “Nah… school’s too big. I’m too new. Nobody knows me. It’s all a bit much,” I said. “Yeah, I get that, Jer," she replied. "But you’re good-looking—maybe you shou

Hey All - So I found Suno, I know it's not new -- but holy heck! How cool is that! I "made" some music (LOL - if you want to call it that). I cheated, and created a couple of accounts - just having so much fun with it. https://www.suno.com/@chromedoutcortex and https://www.suno.com/@chromedoutcortexexperimental My BF is Korean, so I've been pestering him to help me with lyrics, two of the songs on this "experimental" account are courtesty of him (well, the Korean at least, he helped translate from English > Korean). The songs are Rainbow in the Dark and Fire in the Rain. There are two versions of each. Also created a metal version of a song called Voices of Freedom. I think I'm going to have to spring for a subscription - just having so much fun with it! I'm not a musician, and could probably never do something like this IRL. Enjoy! Would love to read what you think of them.

You're welcome, Steve! I'm glad you are enjoying it. 🙂💕

Ryan spent the first night in Michael’s room, savoring every moment. For once, he felt truly free—no Nathan to answer to, no Sarah to tiptoe around. It was just him and Michael. Michael had ordered room service, and the dinner was exquisite. They barely finished their meal before moving on to dessert—not the one on the cart, but each other. That night, Michael was completely uninhibited. When the weight of his double life was lifted, he was a different man—intense, passionate, and almo

Jer does need to grow up, his father has been gone a long time. He needs to make space in his heart.

This one was more fun to write...
